Hey, it’s all non-Western to me
Whoosh! Bang! Lamont-Doherty on blowing shit up.

@DHI You can’t write a column about cheating without at least mentioning the possibility that it results in a murder. Hey Joe is too great a song not to mention. Blood Simple was a great movie. O.J. Simpson was a great running back.
@once again a SEXplorations column, that has nothing to do with sex. way to go miriam dostovfuckface.
@she's no CS major but she DOES have more *insert audience reaction* than an *insert public area* (laughter, park).
@but Graph isomorphism is a computationally hard problem. Exhausting the amount of bad writing will take her an exponential amount of time.
Graph isomorphism is in NP, because a given isomorphism can be shown in P time when given the correct “certificate”. We just need to show her a good sex column!
Obviously, she’s not a computer science major.
@Miriam is a genius In trying to prove a graph isomorphism, one technique is to prove that the inverses of the graphs are isomorphic. This led me to an epiphany:
Miriam Datskovsky is a genius! Rather than write a good sex column (how pedestrian!), Miriam is trying to exhaust the inverse of good writing, i.e., horrible writing, thereby leaving _only_ the _good_ writing behind.
She must be a math major.
@um... bwog is old and busted too…
@Bullshit How does the Spec choose what events they cover? Does somebody take all the events and put them up on a big dartboard? And after they throw all the darts, they take the dartboard off the wall, shit all over it, and then go to the lamest events possible?
For example, according to the Spectator, there was no firedancing at Columbia this weekend. It never happened.
This is why the Bwog is so necessary. The Spectator is old and busted, the Bwog is the new hotness.
@watcher Rumor has it that Spec planned to go but overslept.
@classic miriam “There is a huge, perhaps indiscernible, difference”
@Creative writing I’ve always been told one shouldn’t “study” creative writing. You should study English and one billion other things and write a lot. So unless someone has done that before coming to Columbia (entirely possible) I don’t really thing a creative writing major is very useful or productive. Just look at the culpa reviews of creative writing classes – most people are frustrated with the type of people who take the classes (people with nothing to write about). Is that going to change? Probably not.
@not necessarily The phrases “I’ve always been told” and “Look at culpa reviews” suggest that we can’t always trust what other people say I do think. The creative writing program builds up students as writers. There are workshops and we get different opinions from different writers and people with different perspectives than our own so that we can grow as writers and turn out work better than what it started as. By adding classes in theory for the major, it just allows us to understand certain techniques to help us even more. You learn by doing, and in the program, you do a lot…writing and critiquing improve individuals’ work. Of course natural talent is necessary, but one can only get better!
@yes! “making out with my hot guy friend in order to give myself a definitive excuse to break up with my boyfriend freshman year may not have been the right thing to do…”
a reference to a “hot guy friend.” the miriam-strange personal life connection continues.
@okay so just to clarify, this was one of her non-gay hot guy friends. cool.
@more clap than an auditorium? Fuckin’ lame.
@What's the word On the new creative writing major- is this something y’all would like to do?
@i like how she starts her column with “the dictionary defines this term as…” classic.
@hey i started by college essay with the phrase “webster’s dictionary defines the term…”
@Not a Kluge scholar I take it
@i love Miriam’s ambiguous, there-is-no-wrong-answer columns. Either she can’t form a coherent opinion on any matter (an easy task for a woman), or she is trying to appeal to EVERYONE to increase her chances of being pounded tonight.
