...scramble from the shower after hearing a fire alarm and stand outside your dorm in flip flops (and hopefully a towel), no doubt you have considered fire alarms more of a prankster’s delight than a constructive use of your Sunday night. But in 2001 alone, The Crimson reported a fire in the Eliot House Grille and an unidentified naked man in a Cabot bathroom. Last year, a convicted rapist lurked the Mather hallways posing as a fire inspector, and a burst toilet pipe flooded rooms and destroyed ceilings in Cabot. So while fire alarms might just seem...
...illuminate St. Louis's famous Gateway Arch with pink floodlights to highlight breast cancer awareness month because the rangers feared it would create a precedent for other national monuments, Talent passed a Senate bill authorizing him to do so. Earlier this month, Laura Bush flew in from Washington to flip the switch on the pink lights.

His support for those embarrassing candidates was similar to his unyielding support for the historic fiasco of the war in Iraq. He was stubbornly staying the course...
...pleasure. Nowhere in Homer does it say anything about Eos and transportation. Yet in Volkswagen's retelling, Eos has morphed into an elegant two-door convertible. The new VW Eos features a retractable hard top that's a marvel of engineering, stowing in the rear at the flip of a switch and transforming a buttoned-up coupe into a sun-loving hellion. A car with features like that used to set you back at least $65,000. But VW priced the Eos at just under $29,000 to attract midmarket shoppers--and, the company hopes, to help kick-start...
