Satire: Human meat a healthy alternative

Satire: Human meat a healthy alternative

Published Sep 23, 2009

It's hard to defend something so barbaric as eating another human being. It seems so animalistic and improper, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Eating another person as a last resort is a legitimate option.

Satire: Consider health risks of eating human meat

Published Sep 23, 2009

Human meat is very tasty. The variety of breeds and numerous recipes that are out there like Toe Stew, BBQ Shoulder Blades, or Belly Button Shish Kabobs (which go stupendously with guacamole salad I might add) make it a great selection to feed highly-esteemed guests. I also understand the abundance factor since human meat can now be found on every corner, under every rock and in between every crack on earth. But I've decided to take a stand against cannibalism for one reason: indigestion.

Dont let God take the backseat during college

Don’t let God take the backseat during college

Published Sep 23, 2009

Many students face an ominous decision every Sunday morning: they wake up (of course, they are tired from a late Saturday night of studying and doing homework) and ask themselves "do I go to church like my parents expect me to, or do I sleep in and be sloth-like, which they will also expect?"

Balancing church life with a busy school schedule is not easy, and it requires the occasional selfless act.
