...these more envelope-pushing, wince-provoking skits demonstrate exactly why the puppet is an ingenious mechanism for ensuring the satisfaction and mental stability of grad students. Beyond providing a chance to sit back and chuckle at shared geekiness over a couple of beers, the show provides a legitimate feedback pathway for students to not-so-discreetly air their grievances. The nature of the show provides a relatively anonymous barrier between the Faculty being skewered and the underlings doing the skewering, so that small (and even not-so-small) grievances can be aired in the most blatant and overwrought manner imaginable...
...connect Gateshead with the historic city of Newcastle across the winding river Tyne, they decided that a break from tradition was in order. For most of the day, a single steel arch vaults high above the water, fixed by 18 harplike suspension cables to a 413-ft.-long, curved pathway below.

As the lower deck rises into the air, the upper arch descends on the other side until both halves are suspended opposite each other some 90 ft. in the air. Powered by hydraulics, the $25 million Millennium...
Wolf directs them to split up, one covering the front sidewalk and one covering the back pathway...
...more pelvic girdle to add to the collection. Physicists build gi-normous machines to refine their test parameters of desiccated theories that have been around for decades, if not centuries. Molecular biologists use polymerase chain reaction on everything in sight to find the next link in some signaling pathway. Linguists chronicle yet another moribund language. Computer scientists, taking shelter from the dot-com disintegration, fret over the computational efficiency of the next trendy problem. Economists run endless regressions on the next exogenous variable they have failed to account for, and get it wrong anyway. Each field has its stamps...
...meantime, of course, this development presents plenty of tantalizing possibilities to scientists smitten with the stem cell. "This research shows, for the first time," says Devitt, "that it?s possible to direct embryonic stem cells down a particular developmental pathway - any developmental pathway - to become a product we?re familiar with and can use in a clinical setting: In this case, a blood cell...
