Online only: Golden showers

By Chris Nelson · Monday, Oct. 19,2009 8:58 p.m.

You’re being green by making your shower golden. A Brazilian environmental group, SOS Mata Atlantic, says that if Brazilian citizens flushed just one less time during the day, they’d be saving 1,157 gallons of water a year. To put that in perspective, an Olympic swimming pool holds about 660,000 gallons of water. So if about 570 Brazilians just took a tinkle in a shower, they would save up enough water to fill that pool to the brim in a year’s time.

The comparisons that many Americans draw between Iran and the Arab world are almost entirely superficial.

By Tyler Chernesky · Monday, Oct. 19,2009 8:51 p.m.

I’m dropping out. Who needs a degree anyway? Midterm papers are due and exams are approaching. The days are getting shorter and the nights longer. Seasonal depression has set in. It won’t stop raining. I haven’t done laundry, and nothing in the food court looks edible. I owe money to the bursar, the credit card company and my parents. This isn’t working out.
