Actually, the Harvard Lampoon--a semi-secret social club that publishes parodies on a highly irregular schedule--won't be bringing up any charges against itself.

A "canyon" snakes between these mountaintops and is believed by scientists to be shaped specifically to fit over projections, or receptors, on the surface of human cells. The virus may use this canyon...
