Kitchen floors, as much fun as they sound, are not conducive at all to having sex. I thought my back was going to break like the condom we used. But I didnt have to worry about spending too much time on the hardwood floor because my dog decided he wanted to join us and that pretty much finished us off.
Welcome to a special edition of the Book of Matthew!
I would like to thank Noah Klinger 08 for giving me the idea for todays column. I appreciate his efforts to contradict my views, because that is exactly what democracy is all about. Of course, I cant let him get off that easily.
There are four countries that border IsraelEgypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syriaall of which have a majority Arab Muslim population. Countries that border those countriesTurkey, Iraqalso are the home to a majority of Arab Muslims. Israel, on the other hand, is home to a majority of Jews, and is the Middle Eastern country with the strongest relationship to Western civilization.

One of my all time favorite classes in high school was a seminar called Modern Political Theory, in which we compared the likes of Socrates and Aristotle to more recent philosophers like Marx and Nietzsche. There was one particular day after a discussion on Saint Augustine that I snapped. My class assumed my beliefs to be similar to those of Augustine, a philosopher with whom I vehemently disagreed, for the sole reason that we were both Christian.

Dear Editor: This week another Editor in Chief of the Justice published another editorial justifying that paper's decision to publish yet more potentially damaging information about students.

Dear Editor,
Forty years after his death, its really time for the cult of Che Guevara to end (Why Che still captivates us, Oct. 12). The man executed his opponents without trial, ran one of Cuba's most brutal post-revolutionary prisons, and openly expressed regret that he had not been able to fire Soviet nuclear warheads at U.S. cities. Does Jon Lange condone such behavior or does he just choose to ignore it?
For the last few weeks, while the Student Union was occupying its time bickering over the political future of Secretary Michael Goldman 08, other student organizations have been hard at work demonstrating that united, committed students can make a difference on our campus.
You know, Avram, my grandmother said, when you speak at my funeral I dont want you only to say that I was just a good cook.
First thing you should know about Hum is that they like guitars. A lot. Like most of its peers in the 80s indie rock influenced mid-1990s Chicago rock scene, it favored driving rock songs tempered with heavy feedback and ringing drones.
Steven Bays has sweat on me. Why would I want Bays' or anyone else's sweat on me? The same reason anyone would want the bodily fluids of his favorite artist on him.
