And now for something serious...according to a Po-Town-dwelling tipster, there's a burglar on the loose in Poughkeepsie. He has allegedly stolen thousands of dollars worth of property during three or more recent burglaries on College Ave. He may also be using a black SUV to follow students from the town houses.

A tipster spotted English profs (and rumored lovers!) Kiese Laymon and Eve Dunbar dating it up Wednesday night at a local Cold Stone Creamery.

Well, that's pretty cute. A lot cuter than say, tandem trips to the gym. But the real question here is this: Where is this alleged Cold Stone? And do they take the V-Card?

When you can be Gawker's Most Annoying Liberal Arts College!

Get your nonsensical polysyllabic words ready, guys. We've got this in the bag.

Phoebe Crackenthorpe adds:

Why we deserve to win:
1) Sex vs. Gender is an appropriate topic to discuss in ANY class, regardless of discipline

Class of 09-er Danny Kadishon has been getting mad props this week for his stellar interning capabilities. He claims to form a bill “in his head” during every class he takes.

Wow. If he managed to do that during Intro Sociology in Spring 2006, then more power to him. In fact, if he managed to do anything but sleep in that class, we should b
