...this one. But fear not; Weezer’s latest video is still just as attention grabbing, even without the scantily clad women. Rather, Weezer has gathered a host of extras to help out in their latest video endeavor and break a total of five Guinness World Records. Whilst Rivers Cuomo ’99-’06 tells us about his troublemaking past, the motley crew of video extras engage in a broad range of slightly perplexing activities. Watch in awe and disgust as they pour giant industrial-sized vats of chunky processed nacho cheese on chips...
Though the Crimson heavyweights may not have had a stellar season last year, there was one area in which they shined: the freshman squad’s record in spring 2008 was the stuff dreams are made of. The first freshman boat went undefeated in dual racing and finished up the season in similarly spectacular style, with victories at Eastern Sprints and the Harvard-Yale Regatta, a semifinal place in Henley Royal Regatta’s Temple Cup, and a third-place finish at IRAs to very strong California and Washington teams.“Bill [Manning] is a really...

But it, too, is a dangerous place: in 1984, Boenish died from a failed jump off Trollveggen, the tallest vertical rock face in Europe. He had just set the record for tallest BASE jump a few days before - Trollveggen is 3,600 feet (1,100 m) tall - when his parachute failed to open. After 11 accidents and another three deaths, BASE jumping was banned at the site...
...Palin as McCain's running mate was initially a coup. It shocked the nation, rocketed McCain in the polls, especially among white women, and solidified support among the GOP base. McCain rallies suddenly rivaled Obama's rallies in enthusiasm and size. But while media scrutiny of Palin's record started to damage her maverick credibility (can you say Bridge to Nowhere?), her bubble truly got deflated by Katie Couric. Palin's two weeks of interview broadcasts on CBS Evening News coincided with a collapse in her approval ratings and a loss of McCain's gains among white women...
