Swiss Cows no Longer Tramps

Since peaceluvbug is out there in the Swissland also known as Switzerland, I thought I’d share will all of you this story I cam across. Apperently, Swiss hikers are horny for cows, so new laws had to be put in place.

Keep your distance. Avoid eye contact. And even if it looks cute, never hug a Swiss cow.

Responding to numerous ?reports of unpleasant meetings between hikers and cattle? along Switzerland?s picture-perfect Alpine trails this summer, the Swiss Hiking Federation has laid down a few ground rules.

?Leave the animals in peace and do not touch them. Never caress a calf,? according to the group?s guidance, posted on the Web site www.swisshiking.ch.

Full story, mooooo!

Introduction to Borat

If you don’t know who Borat is, this interview he did on the Conan O’Brien show will sum it up for you.

Basically, he’s a journalist from Kazakhstan talking about making romance with Queen Latifah.

Waawaaweewaa!

GMU SAT Update

Freddy reported this past weekend that George Mason University is no longer accepting SAT scores for incoming students. This is acutally not 100% true as a reader pointed out to me yesterday.

From the Mason Gazette:

George Mason will permit high school seniors with strong academic records to apply for admission without standardized test scores, becoming one of the largest competitive public universities in the nation to offer such a policy.

Beginning this fall, seniors with cumulative GPAs of 3.5 or higher who rank in the top 20 percent of their class will have the option of being considered for admission without submitting SAT or ACT scores.

Who Needs SATs When You’ve Got Basketball

As Freddy informed us this past weekend, GMU is no longer accepting SAT scores for incoming students.

L’avant Poste has found out why. It’s because the George Mason basketball team will be playing in 3 nationally televised basketball games this winter.
The ESPN Game Schedule for your information

  • vs. Witchita State Nov. 18 4pm ESPN
  • vs. Duke Dec. 9 ESPN
  • Hofstra Feb. 10 ESPN
  • …possibly Bracket Buster on ESPN Feb 17…

And of course next March, fingers crossed!

Sigh…Ginobili!

Well, Turkey’s run in the FIBA Championships ended about 30 minutes ago. They lost 83-58 to Argentina.

But I’m not that sad because I really like to yell,

GINOBILI!!!

USA plays tomorrow against Dirk Nowitzki’s Germany, should be another great one. Stay tuned, I’ll keep you posted.
