Thank you Tufts for making sense ONCE AGAIN

USC football got completely ****ed up by Stanford on Saturday -- but hey, at least they used a Trojan.

Hot on the heels of the Daily's semi-psychotic Google streetview paranoia, I decided to do a little sleuthing, and the results may surprise or nauseate you. Is it just me, or does that tasty little dish bear a striking resemblance to kindly campus administrator John Bravman? Yowza, no wonder people can't wait to get out of FroSoCo.

During alumni weekend, Frank T. Rhodes (Cornell's president from 1977 to 1995) gave a speech which he began by quoting Stephenson: "It's my job to speak. It's your job to listen.  If you get through before I do, do feel free to drop off."
