By Alyson Brodsy and Sam Nissen · Thursday, April 21,2005 12:46 a.m.

Tuesday, April 12, should have been the last day any IU student ever drove without a seat belt fully secured. Before that date, you might have gotten away with claiming ignorance or laziness, but now you know. From this point on, take heed and buckle up.

Moribund metal music

By Chris Wisner and compiled by Chris Wisner · Thursday, April 21,2005 12 a.m.

Back when I was a freshman in high school, Mudvayne and I had a rocky start. I can remember listening to L.D. 50 and thinking it was boring and uninspired. I gave them a second chance, taking the advice of a friend who said to listen more closely to the music, and somehow it all clicked.

Pop star Spears' prego pandemonium

By Katie Schoenbaechler and Katie Shoenbaechler · Thursday, April 21,2005 12 a.m.

Britney Spears has done it all -- sold millions of records, traveled across the world and back, gotten married (twice) and kissed Madonna. But as the pop princess has said in tabloid rags she hasn't done the one thing that will put her close to God and give her what every little girl dreams of -- have a baby. Well thank the Lord above, Brit and her hubby of almost nine months, Kevin Federline, have been blessed with a bun in the oven. According to what Britney has been saying to the media she's now at the perfect age to be a mommy.

By Olivia Morales · Thursday, April 21,2005 12 a.m.

As any literature professor will tell you, the work of William Shakespeare is still read and renowned not only because of the Bard's gift of the written word in his own era, but also because the themes prevalent in almost all of his works still apply to society and human behavior today.

'Amityville' one 'Horror' of a film

By Sean Abbott · Thursday, April 21,2005 12 a.m.

Some people believe that the spirits of the dead who have yet to atone for past crimes still stalk the Earth, bound until they make up for their sins. Maybe "The Amityville Horror" is evidence of this phenomenon. It all started with a less than tolerable 1979 film based on an allegedly true story of a Long Island family moving into a good old haunted house.

FAMILY TREE

By David A. Nosko · Thursday, April 21,2005 12 a.m.

The modern-day Tarzan and Jane are alive, well and living in Monroe County.

Royale with cheese

By C. Warner Sills · Thursday, April 21,2005 12 a.m.

As an American currently living in Spain, I have become very perceptive to the differences between the United States and Europe. Sure, most people in my position will tell you their horror stories about being fed weird exotic dishes, or how they had a run-in with some crazy locals. (I might add that since being here I have tried almost every part of the pig imaginable, and encountered numerous crazy locals, who enjoy taunting Americans with obscenities and chasing pigeons in the plaza on a regular basis.) But I've decided to write about the subtle differences across the Atlantic, mainly those regarding popular culture. To quote Vincent Vega, "It's the little things."
