...flies growing in the remnants of parties. It’s time to get rid of the past. 12) Some Lowellians got into a catfight over Upper Hall privileges. We’re guessing it wasn’t worth it. 13) Macs Rule! No, they’re evil! PfoHo can’t make up its mind as to what kind of laptop advice to give. 14) Mather got pretty riled up over a painting near their dining hall. We hear it looked like a baby getting stabbed through a melon. 15) Adams went witch hunting over stolen...

...there is also a semi-serious element to the Axis of Evil tour. At each stop, the group has invited local talent to share the stage with them, as a way of promoting emerging Middle Eastern stand-up comedy. In Lebanon, guests included students from the American University of Beirut, and an insurance agent who's clearly dying to quit his day job. And, perhaps, by heaping scorn equally on the claims of all sects and creeds, they'll do their part for peace in the region. "Is there any religious group that doesn't believe it's superior...
