Cole — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 19:50:19 +0000

Right now, I have at least two dozen jokes running through my head about the penis doodle that now exists on the surface of Mars. An image of the rover’s tracks was posted onto NASA’s own website so it seems legit. Was it an accident or a well calculated maneuver? Inside are five of my [...]

Chadwick — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 17:31:39 +0000

Although I like to think I know a thing or two about boozing. It's obvious by my lack of understanding how this table works, and my lack of experience with most of these drinks, I am really not all that experienced. Or maybe I just haven't expanded my horizons that much. This being a college town, I thought you might find this Student's Guide to Boozing helpful.

I don't know about you but I'm saddened to think they possibly will not invent flying cars, teleportation, commercial space travel, or healthy fast food in my lifetime. These might be beyond our grasp in the near future but that doesn't mean some other amazing things won't happen.

Cats, dogs, babies and everything cute on the internet is there because humans can’t resist it. A new study out of Yale finds that when you see the cuteness your body starts to loose control with the urge to show someone else.

Chadwick — Wed, 09 Jan 2013 17:55:58 +0000

Montana is obviously freaking awesome. For more reasons than we can count. But to the outside world we can be wrongly perceived as horse riding, no running water having, backwoodsers.

This popular holiday drink is traditionally made by combining raw eggs, rum and dairy and leaving it all in the fridge for up to six weeks. We basically drink our weight in the stuff every December — how on earth have we managed to avoid being sick all this time? Like all happy endings, once [...]
