Why is it that some businesses think that leaving photocopied ads strewn around the University is a legitimate form of advertising? I was disgusted to find the hallways and emailing stations littered with advertisements for the Top Hat Strip Club reading, “Ladies Night – International Men”. The tattoo parlor located coincidentally right next door to Top Hat also had ads on the floor and windows of the University Hallway. It seems to me that the companies responsible for this “littertising” should be held responsible – even fined for littering. It’s not like we don’t know who is leaving the mess behind. They should at least have to come and pick it up.

Strip Clubs and tattoo Parlors are not the only guilty party. Vector Marketing has long been an enemy of common sense and decency – laying hundreds of thousands of business cards strewn down hallways and on chairs around the campas. This kind of unethical advertising should be stopped but how? Well I for one have decided to boycott their services. That’s right, just because of their shady marketing campain, I won’t be signing up to buy or sell knives from Vector Marketing – nor will I be chipping in for a new tattoo or going to see “International Men” at the Top Hat. Geez, can I possibly be anymore Activist?

Point your hands towards your chest. Cross your hands one over the other and interlock your fingers and then raise your knuckles. Now look at the index finger that is pointing to the left and wiggle it. Bet you move the wrong one.

While sitting in your chair, lift your right foot slightly off the ground and move it in clockwise circles. Now draw the numeral “6” in the air with your right hand. Your foot will involuntarily reverse direction.

I’ve decided to go to Vancouver on reading week for the 2004 Western Canadian Championships in swimming.

In other news, I have discovered that whenever I am supposed to be writing an essay I find it really easy to clean the house. “Hey I can’t write this essay yet, the walls need to be cleaned!” But I did get the damn thing finished – sort of. I hope he goes easy on me. 1 down only 3 more to go (in that class).

If you’ve ever wondered if dragons really exist, finally we have proof.

Here are the two designs that I entered into the University of Lethbridge’s Web Information System Name and Logo contest. I like the white one better.

I made a screen saver advertisement for the Swim Meet coming up on the weekend. Here it is in all its shockwave flash glory – in other words you don’t have to save it and install it in order to view it. I may only leave it up for a month or two, so if you missed it… well that’s too bad! :)

You may have learned about something like this from watching My Big Fat Greek Wedding, but apparently it really did happen:

A 7 year old boy living in Kazakhstan, who doctors originally diagnosed with a stomach cyst was actually carrying his dead siamese twin inside his belly.

“The foetus had developed into a tumour but was found to have hair, nails and bones.”
