Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I would say this is an urban legend, but I thought the whole "UMASS built a library without accounting for the weight of the books" thing was a myth.
I heard this about the University of Waterloo.
U. Cincy claims it as well.
"There are no sorority houses because of an old brothel law."

That's so sad.
I can say my elementary school had little windows because it was supposed to have a "state of the art" heating/cooling system. But then they ran out of money, is what I heard. At least, that makes some sense why the school would have no air conditioning AND windows that didn't open.
"There are no sorority houses because of an old brothel law."

I just purchased some birthday gifts for my nephew. A onesie with the galaxy on it and the caption: Center of the Universe.
Also, a space shuttle tub toy with two astronauts.
CUTE.
Auntie buy toys.
That's so sad.
Yeah, that's a big Oops.
Heh - I know where Allyson shops.
At the Auntie Buy store?
