To those of you of [&hellip;]</p>

<p>As an endowed member of the Academy of Science I would like to share with you a part of my study on what is funny and what is not funny. It comes down to the actual anatomy of the human being. Comedy is brewed exclusively in the testicles. Only those members of the species who [&hellip;]</p>

<p>STUfail Tried to get on the STU page today at 1:50pm.  Fail. We&#8217;re looking into why it&#8217;s down. Could it possibly be the new website that&#8217;s been &#8216;on it&#8217;s way&#8217; for about 2 years now?  We can only hope. -Update- 1:53pm:  Nope, looks like it was just down for some other reason.  Oh well.</p>

<p>Bailey White &#8211; The Aquinian Resident tears the roof off it – literally Harrington Hall was down some ceiling tiles, windowpanes, and few chunks of wall last weekend after a particularly ragin’ party.

<p>It&#8217;s New Brunswick&#8217;s biggest political story in the last three years, and perhaps in my lifetime: the sale of NB Power to Hydro-Quebec. It&#8217;s not quite a done deal yet, but the final agreement is likely going to look very much like this memorandum of understanding (MOU; .pdf file). In case you didn&#8217;t read a [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Dear Skanks, Sweet Mary mother of Jesus, I am so glad Halloween is over. There are a lot of problems with Halloween, the first of which is its inherent Pagan-y qualities that just don’t sit right in my Catholic mind. The second is trick-or-treating, a ritual which romanticizes begging and teaches kids that they need [&hellip;]</p>

<p>As I sat in a crowded after-hours clinic waiting room watching a parent try to coerce their coughing child into putting on a surgical mask, I became nostalgic for much simpler time. A happier time. A time I wasn&#8217;t  present for, and I&#8217;m only 68 per cent sure I&#8217;m not making up. The time of [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Jayne Erickson &#8211; The Aquinian Featuring Jayne Erickson, Kelsey Knowles and Stephanie Fauquier Let me start off this edition of the Sports Writer&#8217;s Challenge by saying that I have never played hockey.

<p>I&#8217;ve been getting the visions lately. Getting them something fierce. Something to do with the constellations or where the moon is or my prescription antipsycotics running out.
