Odds and ends

I happened to walk by a spontaneous gathering on the brickyard today, consisting of about 100 students arguing with one of those really conservative brickyard preachers. This guy was new, claimed he was 24 and from some church in Georgia. Who funds these guys? I doubt they're independently wealthy and choose to travel around to universities to spread their particular brand of hatred around. Anyway, there were 4 or 5 people arguing with this guy at the top of their lungs, shouting bible verses back and forth, and in one case, flinging obscenities. The rest of us were watching and cheering on the students. I had to leave before it was over, but the group was pressing closer and closer in on the guy. I gave him 10 minutes to fold, his position just was not at all sustainable. It was all quite wonderful and extremely amusing. I'd heard of these things happening, but I hadn't had the chance to see one. I hung out there for a half hour or so and took notes on the guy's speaking style to turn in for my COM class:D

( Cut for a couple of alarming news stories )

And, finally, I'm playing with new features and I'm going to ask your opinion on Animal Science courses! Whee, a poll:) Tell me what I should take next semester.
