Scene: a bar on the Upper East Side.

A curly-haired man in his mid-20s approaches a Barnard senior and asks if she's heard of David Blaine. "David and I, we're kind of friends," the man says. He then reveals that he's a magician, and offers to show her a trick. "Sure," she says, at which point the man reaches into his pocket and produces a dark blue velvet pouch.

Realizing that he's for real, the Barnard student brings over her friends to see the spectacle. He places three coins in her hand and closes her fingers over the coins. When she opens her hand, the original coins have transformed into ... different coins. The girls applaud and disperse.

He then asks if the girl wants to go out with him sometime and "see the real magic."

Also! Learn why "God is just an overhyped David Blaine."

Graffiti from the 600 113th St. dormitory's basement bathroom after the jump. Bwog found it to be quite instructive.

A prank caller has been terrorizing first-years as of late. When the gullible first-year answers the phone, he is asked what his favorite fraternity is. Then the caller claims to be a Pledgemaster from that fraternity. As we all know, pledgemasters can often be rather demanding. Even if they are fake. Requirements for initiation are quickly shared. Among them? Penis sword fighting. How people have fallen for this, Bwog has no idea.

Not to be outdone by Blue and White writer Christopher Beam's guide, the Butler Reserves Desk has posted its own Definitive Guide to Butler Sex in room 209.



Maybe CLIO can help us find the clitoris.

In which Bwog staffer Mark Krotov familiarizes us with the places where you can find him when he's supposed to be in class.

When I took chemistry in high school, I sat in front of a sink that I regularly turned on and off to prevent myself from falling asleep. When Columbia students take chemistry, they take it in the most beautiful lecture hall on campus, 309 Havemeyer. As any General Chemistry student could tell you, to call 309 a classroom is akin to referring to calling Low Steps a back staircase.

Bwog staffer Brendan Ballou sat down with Columbia junior Jamie, a writer for the Fed, the former singer for the F-Holes, and current Suicide Girl to discuss knitting, pornography, and why the Blue and White is too pretentious.

Don't I know you from somewhere?
Well, I'm naked on the Internet. I feel that it's something not a lot of Columbia people get paid to do. Most of the modeling I do is for money. And it is work, and it's a job like any other job. It can be boring. It can be hard. It can be creepy.

What is Suicide Girls?
It's a cool website full of pin-up style photography and alternative looking women who don't fit the normal notions of beauty—although some of them are skinny and white and have big boobs—but not all of them, and that's a common misconception. But it's fun for me. It's a community, and a lot of my friends are Suicide Girls.
