Happy American Thanksgiving
Apparently people in the States are being thankful for things-- like the 101 things on this list from the guys at Coed Magazine. At least... I'm about 150% sure this was written by guys.
Not The Best Thanksgiving At the Feldman House
The Des Moines Register (link via the Minneapolis Tribune and Sports By Brooks) recently interviewed the woman who was caught having drunken sex in a bathroom stall at a recent Minnesota-Iowa football game at the Metrodome.

And it gets worse: “I don’t know who this man is,” she told the Register. “I just found out his name in the paper.” She's lost her job, as well. Man alive!!!

Well... it turns out, the inventors are in a little hot water, having just pled guilty to "conspiring to defraud the federal agency that administers federal workplace drug testing programs." They now face up to eight years in prison and $500,000 in fines.
