According to our Science of Psych textbook, regression is a defense mechanism leading to the “reversion of the ego to an earlier stage of development rather than handling unacceptable impulses in a more adult way” (okay, so we Wikipedia’d it—you know you never opened your textbook, either). In these troubled, pre-finals times, sometimes a good round […]

Admit it. You remember thinking during that one scene of The Social Network how badly you wanted an invite to that final club party. Well now, when people ask what parties are like at your school, you can leave them with this sublime expression: all-inclusive.  

It seems the ever-elusive man about town was spotted trying to blend in with students on Low Steps. How fast can you spot Waldo? If you think this one’s easy enough, check out the intermediate levels from last year after the jump.

Those strolling across College Walk a moment a go saw a glimmer of Winter’s glow. Facilities is testing the lights in preparation for the annual tree lighting ceremony. Daylight hours may be waning, but at least we’re getting prepared to fight the night. Students assembling for the 2 pm OWS march to Union Square are […]

With glimpses of the holiday season around us, we must wonder whether it’s really too early. After all, temperatures are finally dipping, the lights are going up on college walk, and your dorm radiator is belching out all kinds of fluids. And since it’s the weekend, you can finally walk down to the new Crumbs […]

Remember the days when class moms would help you into your Power Rangers costume, march you and your classmates down to the school auditorium where you’d parade around the school to the dulcet tones of whatever the marching band was playing? Long before the horror of weekly readings, midterms and term papers plagued your boy […]

While this isn’t the first time we’ve encountered self-aware posters, we admittedly got a bit gushy after seeing this one. Spotted in Lerner, this bearer of good news seems eager to please. And judging by the looks of it, at least a couple people seem willing to take up the offer.

A tipster noticed the following provocative midterm practice question: Because, you know, as the sole creatures in the world that emit sound, the Blue Tit and the Great Tit are the only two animals that could haven beeen used for this question. Nice try, FroSci.

The NoCo librarians have stuck again! After launching a pun-laden campgain against non-spillproof mugs last week, the intrepid book-minders (there are books in there somewhere, right…?) feel it necessary to now also point out that food is not allowed in the Science and Enginerring Library. Thus, they’ve printed out a picture of a most comely […]

In the midst of the campus-wide smoking ban debate, it would appear that Columbians are taking matters into their own hands. The following pun-ny sign and vessel were spotted by a tipster outside grad student haunt Haakon’s Hall, on Amsterdam:

Is this postapus affixed on a bulletin board on Schermerhorn 3 a sadistic psych experiment or just the creation of some clever human with too much time on their hands? Rumor has it the eyes follow you as you walk down the hall. We are left to speculate on the octopus’ internal monologue: Does this octopus […]

It’s midterms, you’re busy, you got two hours of sleep, and in your delirious haze you stop at a food cart to grab a hot dog. Well, maybe today it’s just a hot dog. But maybe this is the start of something big. Maybe, just maybe, tomorrow you’ll wake up to find Morningside has turned […]

Thought this giant hairy rasturbation was bad? Check out the friskiness that befell the Mudd ‘vator this past weekend. This one has more of a vagina dentata effect… Photo courtesy of Courtney Gianinni

As many Columbia students know, things can get pretty wild on the weekends. Disoriented by the night’s revelry, up can become down, and climbing on top of a vertical slab of metal may seem like a good idea. Or could these be the stirrings of a new coning subculture, vying for a breath of life […]

A tipster noticed a custodian removing every poster for The Matching Game from the Hamilton bulletin boards. Naturally we had questions. Why doesn’t PrezBo want us associating him with Lady Gaga? Have you ever seen the two of them in the same place at the same time? Is PrezGa the new Ke$ho? Would they make […]
