Perhaps you remember the cartoon shown above and our discussion; or, maybe you remember our critique of the Cavalier Daily when it published an article loosely based on Catholic pseudo-science that claimed having sex around a “natural planning cycle” is more effective than condoms. Let’s not forget the “tear down this wall” column which said the freedom wall was “nothing more than a cheap, interactive platitude.” And finally, take an opinion from the same publication about StreakTheLawn.com (now shut down) which explained that exposing seedier aspects of college life was a “risk” to UVA’s reputation.

This is disturbing:

Authorities are considering whether to file charges in the case of a woman who they say sat on her boyfriend’s toilet for two years.

The 35-year-old Kansas woman had been the bathroom for so long, it appeared her skin had grown around the seat. Police say she had to be pried from the toilet with a crowbar and the seat was removed at the hospital.

Kory McFarren, the woman’s boyfriend, told The Associated Press he wasn’t to blame, although he says he should have gone for help sooner. But he says after a while — quote — “you kind of get used to it.”
