Posted by Layla12/01/2008 7:56 PM

What’s funnier than a great comedian? Did you say watching your fellow class/party/roommates try to be funny but fail terribly? I thought so. Well, you can enjoy both this weekend!

JMU Bio Professor Ft. On Animal Planet's "The Vanishing Frog"

I’ve in fact been on Animal Planet before (I was picked out of the audience about a decade ago when I visited Universal Studios and watched a taping of o...

What Do You Think About JMU Guys??

Posted by Layla11/21/2008 5:45 PM

Although it’s definitely NOT my goal to find a guy (especially in college), it would be nice if it weren’t so hard to find a funny guy that respects girls and...
