Taco Bell armpits

·

Almost every day, I take a shower. From my observations, it seems that, at least most days, the male peers whom I am typically around maintain sufficient hygiene by cleansing as well. I would presume that soap is involved somewhere in their endeavors, as it's certainly a primary tool in my own hygienic maintenance.

Bonds' shadow

·

Major League Baseball is here again. In a few months, some of the cellar dwellers will once again resign themselves to finishing 30 games out of first place, but for now, every team is filled with hope. Even the Brewers and Tigers have gotten off to great starts (which may change by the time this makes print). But this season, the main story is Barry Bonds. Everything else falls under his unnaturally large shadow.

Coffee shop loser

Let me paint the scene for you. It's 10:30 p.m. Tuesday. I just got off work and met my roommate, Oscar, to go to Starbucks so he could caffeinate himself to work on a paper.

Where da party at? Who cares?

IU studying global warming

·

Global warming used to seem like an issue of the distant future, but recently, it's been gaining more attention in the media. Scientists are divided on whether or not global warming is really a problem, and how to address the issue if it is. Recently, the Bush administration and Congress have been pressed for more research funding and some IU faculty and students say they think it's about time.

Project provides pedals without peddling

·

Bicycles of all sorts hang from the ceiling of the small garage on Madison Street. Many more line the walls of the attic upstairs. While some of these bicycles are now ready for purchase, most of them are just waiting for the right owner to give them another chance. These bicycles wait behind the multi-colored, checkered doors of the Community Bike Project, 214 N. Madison St. The nonprofit organization works to provide alternative transportation to Bloomington residents by teaching bicycle maintenance.

·

From Lara Croft in "Tomb Raider" to gamers featured on www.suicidegirls.com and other Web sites, scantily clad women have long had associations with gaming, supposedly fulfilling fantasies of dating-challenged heterosexual male gamers. As female gaming interest has risen, so have incidences of women gamers who, regardless of talent, have found success based on their breast size.
