The early days of NSO saw a curious character by the name of "Elizabeth Acker" surface on Facebook. Said figure has managed to friend request just about every undergraduate at Penn, with not one student able to confirm the identity of Ms. Acker.

"Hey." When I visited Penn as a junior in high school, my tour guide leaped at each chance to brand Penn "the social Ivy." We all understood, according to legend, that the parties would be abundant and the nights out would outnumber the nights in.

Obama criticizes Republican VP hopeful Sarah Palin for Congressional earmarks. Here's a heads up, Barack: who cares about earmarks when your pregnant 17-year-old daughter has stretchmarks? Two teenage girls stab 75-year-old man to death in a robbery that got them $15, which they promptly used to buy four gallons of gas.
