There’s Gonna Be A Big Future in Plastics
“Sandy, let me tell you something. Something that you want to hear.” “What is it?” It’s going to revolutionize everything. Even seismic retrofitting. It took decades of research, experimentation and head-scratching, but a team of San Francisco engineers says it has found a way to save the beloved landmark in Strawberry Canyon, which straddles the [...]
It Is Done
You know what. Full petition here. Jubilation reigns.
If Marshawn Lynch Was A Treesitter…
I tried reading this editorial in good humor, but then the writer started invoking Goodwin’s Law and my mind blanked out. Once someone analogizes Hitler massacring half of Europe to cutting down a bunch of old oak trees, you’re probably going to lose me. Clearly this woman was speaking in some sort of nebulous third-world [...]
Cal Gals: Ryan Langdon
Our contributor Danzig is currently indisposed, so I’ll be reviving this long popular series. Ryan Langdon is another one of those rare talents that we just never get to see enough of at our esteemed University. She emerged with degree of architecture from Cal, and is now down south in LA to become a successful [...]
Cal Girls: Sumi Das
Listen, I’ll be the first to admit: I can’t watch Bollywood movies without breaking out into open laughter. Whenever I see guys doing Jazz-hands, I’m gonna start cracking up no matter what.* However, that doesn’t mean Indian ladies don’t have their laurels. Sumi Das is probably one of the most striking and recognizable Cal grads. [...]
Cal Gals: Morgan Webb
Morgan Webb is one of those Berkeley treasures that makes you happy to be alive. A true hot nerd who loves playing video games. She’s the only reason I’ve ever stopped to watch G4. She makes me feel love inside. She makes me hope that one day, I will be able to associate with beautiful [...]
Cal Volleyball All-Star of the Week: Angie Pressey
As usual, I have overlooked other Cal sports over the past…seven months, and during this long, interminable offseason I hope to reward our good teams with feature posts. So let’s start with the Cal Volleyball All-Stars. By all-stars, I mean girls with sparkling all-around bodies of work. This team got all the way to the [...]
Stokke Inflation, Part II
Part I here. Definition: Where a writer of a site spends an inordinate amount of time researching an article that gets a decent amount of traffic, then links to pictures of an attractive female athlete which receives about a hundred times more attention. Oh well. I’m not complaining. It makes the site look nicer, that’s [...]
Cal Gals: Iliana Fischer
The audience asked for beautiful Cal gals, and I have obliged. From the Superficial (and thanks to Bear Insider), meet Playboy Playmate and Psychology-grad Iliana Fischer. You can view better pictures of her from the Superficial link, but it seems the tiny dog gets the best of this image. This is just to show proof [...]
Introducing…Stokke Inflation
I think we’re going to have to come up with a new term for behavorial economists after another ill-informed list of hottest college campuses: We’ll call it Stokke Inflation. Definition of Stokke Inflation: (n.) A drastic increase in the net hotness of a population based on small samples of beauty. Example: Allison Stokke, who has [...]
