...final, while stuff that takes up multiple lectures is never heard from again. This is not “Food and Culture,” folks. Science B skipped the lecture on “Um, Cores are Supposed to Be EASY, I’m Trying to Write a THESIS Here!”, so do yourself a favor and get it out of the way early. This need not be a nightmare–just know you won’t be half-assing a final paper about chicken nuggets or lollipops or something. Or, at least...

...laid-back West Point grad who showed Conan O’Brien clips in class—and the term paper topic is wiiide-open. One senior wrote about marijuana and food in stoner movies like “Half-Baked.” Fun fact: getting high before writing these papers can be helpful.If you’d prefer a more edifying, less edible experience, check out “Culture, Illness, and Healing: An Introduction to Medical Anthropology,” a theory-intensive class popular with pre-meds.

...kind of homey touch you didn't find on the web. For all the convenience that my current scriptural search engine, BibleGateway.com offers, it doesn't have the muscle to allow you to mark up its verses.

...site into a massive devotional center for the Mahdi, and on weekends tens of thousands of Iranian pilgrims peer down the well where legend says he is hiding. Some visitors claim to have seen the Mahdi there, and report things he allegedly said to them. More commonly, people write him letters asking for blessing, and drop them down the well (on the male or female side). Caretakers fish the letters out regularly, and burn them nearby. If you happen to be walking through the area, it's common to find half-scorched fragments of letters to the Mahdi...
