After discovering the latest omen of the world’s coming demise, the Clog encourages Berkeley students to put down their books and enjoy their short-lived time on earth.
Unfortunately, the title isn’t a reference to illegal, bootlegged copies of Chinese porn or anything like that. Instead, the Communist government notorious for Platonically enlightening its citizens by denying them access to terrabytes of information decided to give in to criticism and allow journalists access they didn’t have before. That’s more than we can say for our wireless connection, which annoyingly loves to cut out every 15 minutes or so. read more »

A Brazilian boy fought back a dog that attacked him earlier this week, using the only method the dog knew—going for the neck. We can only hope the boy grows up to be a masked hero, defending citizens from the canine menace with the awesome power of his teeth.
On the other side of the globe, three kids were sentenced to over three years for holding up a jewelry store and stealing over $100,000 in shiny metallic stuff. Good thing they were caught, because we don’t think Bite Boy has the right stuff to be fighting crime in China. Yet.

This Friday was particularly worrisome for the financial world as mortgage firms Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac faced problems on the scale of trillions of dollars. Combined, they manage about half the mortgage debt in the U.S.—that’s five trillion dollars. Allow us to repeat that: $5,000,000,000,000.

Today is National Pigeon Day and, coincidentally, also Friday 13. This reeks of “The Birds” eeriness. Berkeley doesn’t have too many pigeons around, but maybe that’s because Chez Panisse serves squab from time to time. read more »

You know your art project succeeds when your school’s paper picks up the story, then Drudge Report features it and now a school across the country takes notice.
The Paper Trail reports that Yale art major Aliza Shvarts decided to artificially inseminate herself multiple times while inducing miscarriages throughout a nine-month period. Yes, you read that correctly. But that’s not the end of the story.
No, she didn’t get the semen from the football team. No, she’s not collecting her … uhh … media in Tupperware. The twist? It’s performance art fiddling with public reaction. We don’t think it ever happened, save for the thought coming from Shvarts’ brain and the words from her mouth.

We know we’ve been neglecting our post–watching for signs of the imminent demise of the world–but we’re back on the job, and this week we’ve got a big one.
This morning, people around the world fell into chaos and panic when they realized that the time showing on their cell phones did not match the time on any of their other clocks. Others rushed to Church and other sundry appointments an hour late, causing even more pandemonium. Why? read more »

Don’t be fooled by this little guy to the right–he could have landed you in big trouble in Texas until a while ago. Texas recently lifted its ban of “obscene devices” (a.k.a sex toys), and that’s proof enough to us that the world has turned topsy-turvy. What’s next to go?
Since the ’70s, the sale, promotion, donation or lending of dildos and what-have-yous could have landed your fanny in jail for up to two years. The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, though, has come in to give the fannies want they want: just a little peace and privacy.
It’s a lot of buzz for Valentine’s Day weekend, but that doesn’t mean everyone else has opened up to the idea. Several other states still have restrictions on sex toys, and Alabama and Mississippi in particular cross their legs against the sale of the little devils.
As for Texas, well, you just don’t mess with Texas … at least not until those batteries run out.
