A Fundraiser being held at CMU...
“Cow on the Cut” is certain to turn a few heads. Here’s the idea: we paint a grid on the CFA lawn, sell the rights to each square for $10, bring in a cow (Yes. We pay a service to bring a live cow.), and whoever owns the square the cow poops in wins a laptop computer.
From growing up on a farm with cows, I just want to know if any of the organizers know what they are getting...

Breakneck
is the one name for a buggy that is brought up often…it will make it to the second round of voting but that’s it… I kind of like it and others do too, but it seems no one wants to put that omen on the driver of it… Stupid multiple meanings…

What should New Buggy 09 be named?
Tonight after push practice (at about 2:30 am) this year’s new buggy will be named. Last night we narrowed the field to five names. It has been a kind of tradition for the buggy’s name to start with B and we decided to keep it that way this year. Here is a picture of it from rolls on Saturday…(click for larger) Now here is what we have the field narrowed to: Borealis - The...

crushes:
A,
I like you. I like you happy and I like you sad and I like you everything. I can’t wait to see you and I hope that we are happy. You are my hope for things at the moment, I don’t really want that to change. It’s such a lovely feeling. An increasingly overriding and overbearing feeling also. So there is that and that is good, that is the best.

You know you go to CMU when...
you may have seen this post earlier about the playing of bagpipes on campus…
now that may be different enough, but….
you know you really go to CMU when you hear bagpipes playing on campus and as you get closer to the source of the sound you see that it is not a human that is playing them, but a ROBOT!
that’s right, i saw a bagpipe playing robot today…
time to fill out my bracket...
but first i’ll watch the space shuttle launch…
smart idea by the tournament officials to let NDSU play at the metrodome…that’ll sell plenty of tickets…

“I think Facebook has just reblogged Tumblr”

It is turning this c++ code into assembly. This is a computer organization class..
main(){
int numItms, i, data, sum;
cin » numItms;
sum =0;
for(i=1;i<=numItms; i++){
cin » data;
sum+=data;
}
cout « “Sum: ” « sum« endl;
return 0;
}
I think thats right. Now, no matter what data I enter, it gives the sum 0..

i noticed a mouse in our room this evening
i saw one in here last year too, but not until the spring semester…
this is the first time this school year that i’ve seen one in here…
maybe they don’t feel comfortable showing themselves until the spring semester?
