A new boobquake song?
It’s called Boys Love Earthquakes by Nichole Alden. I think it has to be about boobquake, but it’s not explicitly clarified anywhere. Here are some of the lyrics: Cover your headBeauty must hideSilence your lipsKeeping InsideFar too tempting to uncover what they mightBeautiful girl, this submission isn’t right Lower your headBody must bowPurity gives excuse …

Next item on the gay agenda
Oh Indiana. And to think this happened in one of our biggest, most liberal (relatively) cities. This is what they were after: a mulitcolored cupcake to celebrate “National Coming Out Day” next month; a rainbow confection to honor the diversity on the campus of IUPUI. But the student who had the order placed at Just …

Who knew gays were like CO2?
Looks like Global Warming is in need of a scientific update: Clerics in the South Pacific have fingered the key cause of climate change – homosexuals. The revelation came at a conference at the University of the South Pacific considering the implications of Climate Change and Creativity. Academics were apparently thrown off their consideration of …

Today is the start of No Make-up Week
What is No Make-up Week? I’m asking you to conduct your own experiment. To go a day or a week without make-up, to upload a no make-up photo online or simply explore the relationship through writing or whatever feels right. Make it your own.

One way to deal with crazy campus preachers
This is what Purdue’s campus looked like last Monday:Crazy campus preachers are fairly typical in the fall. One, it’s still warm, which is conducive to standing around outside yelling at people. But two, they hope to prey on the confused and lonely freshman. Because, according to this group, going to college is the work of …

Spider siege update
Somehow I was able to get to sleep last night, but I was forced to wake up early because my bed was being delivered. Finally! The air mattress my landlord had lent me was slowly becoming deflated, so every night of sleeping became sadder and sadder. But here came the movers with my big new …
