Ohio University and drinking alcohol Ohio University is nestled in the rolling hills of Appalachian Ohio in Athens. This scenic town is a mere 90-minute drive southeast from Columbus. With an approximate student population of 23,000, Athens, Ohio, is the quintessential college town. Ohio University is well known as the nation’s top Party School. However, the school is trying to end this reputation and has implemented very strict drinking policies. Before we get to that, here are some reasons why they have the reputation. Court Street The red bricks on this historic street are famous. The street is only about a half mile but there are bars up and down. Court Street is well known for drink specials and drunken naughtiness. However, this street is also notorious for undercover cops that lurk in the shadows and into the bars so be careful. Bong Hill - named for all the potheads who make the climb. Green Beer Day - Yay! The beer is green! Win Or Los...

How important do you have to be to have been "assassinated" instead of "murdered"? If the motivation is political, then it's assassination. Otherwise, it is murder. You cannot be assassinated by accident, either. If a jilted ex murders the Prince of Placeland, it's just a murder. If a jilted ex is also a member of a rival political faction, it may be an assassination. If a jilted ex is driving home in tears and accidentally runs over the Prince of Placeland in the middle of the night in a neighborhood where the streetlights are out because of the prince's questionable infrastructure policy, it's manslaughter.

The letter, shown below, is an actual letter that was sent to a bank by a 96 year old woman. The bank manager thought it amusing enough to have it published in the New York Times.  Dear Sir: I am writing to thank you for bouncing my check with which I endeavored to pay my plumber last month. By my calculations, three nanoseconds must have elapsed between his presenting the check and the arrival in my account of the funds needed to honor it. I refer, of course, to the automatic monthly deposit of my entire salary, an arrangement which, I admit, has been in place for only eight years. You are to be commended for seizing that brief window of opportunity, and also for debiting my account $30 by way of penalty for the inconvenience caused to your bank. My thankfulness springs from the manner in which this incident has caused me to rethink my errant financial ways. I noticed that whereas I personally attend to your telephone calls...

A Creative Calendar from a Retirement Home What a fantastic idea.  I bet they had a ball.   A German Retirement Community did a calendar where seniors amazingly recreated famous movie scenes. The Contilia Retirement Group in Essen,  Germany made what is probably the best calendar ever with a few of their seniors. According  to German press, 5,000 calendars  were printed.  And they were given out to residents of the senior center,  along with relatives and staff. The calendar models were interviewed about the project. They said it was a ton of fun to dress up as their favorite actors. The shoot was done with professional stylists.   The photographers tried to make sure everything  look as cool as possible. ...
