...that cursed day! Who could have known what sort of inauspiciousness Friday’s rain was heralding? Indeed, no one could have known??or did know, until afterwards. Because our very informant—the server itself—was fighting the battle of a lifetime: a battle against the elements. For at approximately 4:00 PM this past Friday, 1 February, one of the two UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) systems in the Science Center data center failed “catastrophically” as a result of a short circuit, which culminated in a fire...
...Weathermen—or the Weather Underground, as they were later known??were, as my intoxicated adversaries explained to me, America’s own Montoneros. They had abandoned passivity in favor of concrete action in the late 1960s and 1970s, bombing public buildings across the country, including the U.S. Capitol.

People frequently abuse the drug by crushing tablets and snorting them. To test Concerta’s euphoric effects, the researchers took a group of twelve healthy adults and randomly assigned them to take either the slow-release or quick...
Named after a measure of time, Fifteen Minutes—or FM as it’s more commonly known??is the edgier and slightly retarded stepchild of the revered Crimson, a newspaper that makes the Wall Street Journal read like literotica.com. Thankfully, FM is not quite as boring; indeed, it’s a bit like a similarly named magazine called FHM, minus the boobs and stories about dudes who get blackout and make outrageous bets that usually involve one of them getting breast implants...
