...Naturally, her column is an instant hit. This might be less absurd if we were privy to their content, but director P.J. Hogan probably didn't want to trouble the American moviegoing public with such details. That Becky and Luke (who happens to be rich - he's basically a walking lottery ticket) will fall in love is also a given, but that's a touch harder to swallow. It's not that Dancy isn't cute - he is, like a smaller, more delicately featured Hugh Grant - but simply because Becky seems more interested in mannequins than in men. There...
...entire genome, but as they get to know its parts better, they're getting a more precise comprehension of one of the most important features of evolution: how complex organs evolve. The notion that something as intricate as an eye could have evolved, Darwin wrote, "seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree." But he argued that new complex organs could evolve through a series of intermediate forms...
...ludicrous situation. After his character fails his mission and becomes brainless, Johnson’s entire physicality changes, making for some of the funniest non-spoken moments of the show.

The lowly sandwich hardly seemed to merit this fervor. But as resident food columnist, I figured it was my duty to uncover the definition of “sandwich” and restore order to the residences on Plympton Street. The task seemed simple enough when I set out to Schlesinger...
...formal of Mather, Winthrop and Currier Houses. Tickets were $15 each and sold out earlier than expected. Again, within a few minutes of the desperate e-mails on the house lists, some students began selling their tickets for as high as $75 or 500 percent of face value. The absurd prices prompted others to make their own mythical sales: “Selling formal ticket—first -born child/OBO.” Jokes aside, this behavior should not be tolerated for three reasons: It takes unfair advantage of our peers, particularly those on significant financial aid; it blemishes...
