...before my 18th birthday. It was literally the worst thing you could ever imagine happening. I mean, if you saw it in a movie, you wouldn't believe it. It was just the greatest set ever; I mean I was f___ing killing. And I even said, "The red light's on - I gotta go," and people were like, "NOOO! STAY!" So I finished and stepped off the stage and thought, Wow! I'm a genius. And then probably the next 16 times, I just bombed. I couldn't understand it - "Wait, these are the same jokes I told last...
...electric car, so long promised, may finally be pulling into your driveway. In the U.S., a humbled General Motors just showed off one of its rare rays of light - the plug-in Volt, which GM says will get 230 miles per gallon when it hits roads in late 2010.

...light of the College’s ready willingness to chop Freshman Week into Freshman Less-Than-A-Week, we fear that many other Harvard services and traditions are next in line. Freshman Parents Weekend may become Parent Saturday. And those infamous, trendy lanyards that everyone (yes everyone) at Harvard dons around their necks? Next year they’ll be just a single, unknotted red string that you drape hopelessly over your shoulder...
