My Bad

Posted on December 6th, 2011 by graham.harwood

I apologize. I am sorry to anyone who read my article in the magazine. I said that Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, and Jon Huntsman were sticking around for the sole purpose of garnering enough attention to get a show on Fox News. Frankly I think any of the three would be willing to take a [...]

Posted on November 2nd, 2011 by erin.kuhl

Good Evening, fellow Cow aficiondos! I know what you’re thinking- you’ve never heard that mantra about 5 glasses before. Well, I will explain. You eat three square meals a day which obviously includes a full glass of milk (we don’t discriminate- as long as you’re supporting our cows, we’re happy but we strongly urge 1% [...]

Frozen Purple Cow- Episode 6: Wake up at 6AM to Milk ‘Em

Posted on November 2nd, 2011 by erin.kuhl

Yo. I’m so tired. These past few weeks have been really busy. When you’re not studying for heat & mass transfer prelims, you’re doing problem sets about a shell-and-8-tube pass heat exchanger forcing you to stay at Olin Library until 2 AM or doing the thermodynamics questions about fugacity which guest Professor Tester introduced two [...]

The very first thing on Cornell’s famous “Big Red Ambition: 161 Things Every Cornellian Should Do” list is the following item: 1. Make the library into your bedroom and have sex in the stacks. I find it interesting that fucking in the library comes before spending a summer in Ithaca (#31) and taking Intro to [...]

Hot For Teacher

Posted on April 25th, 2011 by Samantha M.

For my “Desire” class this semester we’re reading The Symposium: Plato’s infamous play about the complex, sexual nature of learning. In the play, the leading philosophers of the time (Socrates, Aristophanes, Alcibiades, etc.) gather to praise Eros and discuss the true meaning of love. As each man delivers his speech, it becomes clear that the Greek method of [...]

Despite what we see on TV and in the movies, sex is often awkward, messy, and embarrassing.
