New York has finally acknowledged that those ‘No Honking’ signs were not stopping anyone. The honking never seems to stop anyone either, so the whole debate seems futile. (NYT) Trying to escape death is also futile. Apparently the average life span of a species can usually be determined from its average size. (NPR) Detroit may […]

Work may not be bothering you in Butler yet, but Bwog is! We spent our Sunday night asking the few souls who are already studying in Butler, “Why are you here?” only to quickly realize that it was a silly question.  While Bwog’s shoddy work ethic keeps us from the depths of the library until […]

As spring internships start, we here at Bwog have realized that knowing exactly where Odysseus went, the intricacies of a Hobbesian state of nature, and the proxies involved in fMRIs aren’t very useful in a real workplace. With that in mind, we have compiled a list of classes the Core should teach in order to maximize […]

Remembering our fine tradition of reviewing things that don’t really matter pass over the undiscerning eye (such as pastries, cafes and chairs), we mark the beginning of a new semester with the beginning of a new set of criticisms — in this case, the lecture hall.

Which is a good thing, since apparently the catalog hadn’t been updated since 1985. You can go ahead and leave your condolences for this dying and painfully time-consuming research […]

CCSC is back, and so is Bwog’s coverage of it. We sent someone to report on this magical mystery: Maren Killackey. Here’s her account: After a slight mixup with the Georgian Students Association (yeah, it exists) regarding whose turn it was to use the Satow room (cue typical-Columbia-with-its-space-issues eyeroll/politically incorrect and unfunny joke about South […]

  Literal: Dung beetles apparently use the Milky Way to guide their poo-hauling journeys. Maybe they could bring some here to unclog McBain toilets? (Reuters) Potential: Rumors that the iPad 4 is coming are already coming. Apparently the new model features a revolutionary change: a larger memory. *gasp* (CNET) Figurative: As sanctions increase, so do fears of cannibalism […]

Looks like attendees were having a good time (18 hours worth of time) at the Columbia University Dance Marathon (CUDM) last night. All proceeds from the “dance party” fundraising event went to the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation towards the fight against pediatric HIV/AIDS. Congrats to everyone who participated, even though you’re all probably asleep right now […]
