Re: Only a Matter of Time

We have small red squirrels here on campus, much smaller than their larger cousins elsewhere. What they lack in size, however, they make up for in sheer chutzpah. One day, while walking to lunch, I saw what appeared to be a bagel rolling rapidly across the grounds. Closer inspection revealed that a squirrel had seized [...]

Not to be out done, John McCain summons his own group of zombie supporters.
Okay, who put Election Day so close to Halloween? Somebody had a sense of humor, that’s all I can say. For more funny stuff, check out the video “Partisan Pumpkins Try to Squash Each Other”. Tres amusing!

Re: Informing and Entertaining

Human powered search engine
“Human powered search engine” is Internetese that means that real people read, summarize, and rate various Internet resouces. Brijit is more of a serious, current awareness service.
