A study released Thursday by the Cato Institute found that the Puget Sound Model United Nations team is doing more things more efficiently than the actual United Nations has ever done in its rich 168-year history. The study, which defined things as any action that could potentially affect people and efficiency as if things are actually completed, reviewed actions taken by the UN during multiple crises and compared them to our own Model UN team’s previous resolutions. “Every instance we found, Puget Sound was taking action whereas the actual UN...

Onlookers were mesmerized earlier this week by a wild Barred owl that has taken up residency on campus in the President’s Woods. This adorable creature, while majestic, is in actuality a revived corpse. The owl is part of an ongoing research project between the University’s Biology Department and the Slater Museum of Natural History. The two departments have discovered a means to reanimate this creature that was previously taxidermy. The experiments have been ongoing for the last 20 years, but only recently have breakthroughs been made. Scores of unknowing students...

An anonymous poll reinforces the campus authorities’ concern over students abusing drugs, shown today. A whopping 68 percent of students “consume some form of dietary supplement,” Detective Joe Parsons announces. “I mean, sure, you’ve got a lot of vegans and vegetarians that say they take supplements to get enough iron and other minerals that they aren’t getting from their dietary choices, but are they really?” Other skeptics also voiced their concerns, claiming that many students are in fact abusing iron, potassium and even calcium supplements in order to “stay healthy...

WASHINGTON, D.C.—In an act of bipartisanship unseen since the time of the great compromiser Henry Clay himself, democrats and republicans came together last Tuesday to pass a bill that will have six-year-old Jeffry Thomas, the boy seen on national news just that Monday questioning why Congress could not just come together and be friends like his kindergarten class,  stabbed to the fullest extent of the law by the end of the fiscal year. The bill, officially entitled The Stabbing Rights Act, outlines in 146 pages  how the fun-loving and energetic...

Q: What are some good dorm food options I should stock up on? A: Living on a college budget can be pretty difficult at times, so you’ll really want to make sure you’re getting a solid bang for your buck. Eating healthy is another concern. To address both issues and to find a good compromise, I recommend a few different options. You’ll want to buy spoiled milk, because grocers will usually sell it to you pretty cheap, and it’s a good source of anti-oxidants! You also don’t have to worry...

By MR. BUTTFIST F ollowing a recent survey asking students what the next improvements made to campus should be, President Tonald Rhombus has unveiled plans for one long continuous lazy river to substitute the sidewalks between buildings. The announcement was, however, met with some controversy. Some students would prefer the river be filled with chocolate milk, instead of plain water, for example. Others would rather see buildings made with  gingerbread or professors made of taffy. “I’m glad my tuition is paying for this, instead of something useless like a better...

For Gulliver Granola, wearing Crocs is not just a fashion statement, but a way of life—I mean that literally, since he’s been eating only Croc soup for the past couple days. Insisting that I call him “Gull, just like the bird, bro,” the haggard man I see before me seems but a ghost of the zealous Croc champion my boss at The Flail had described to me. Later, I gathered (from the internet) that the bird he was referring to was in fact a “seagull.” Clever man. Surprised that no...
