Hey jobless alumni, why so glum? With your Columbia degree, the world is at your fingertips: first phone sex operating ("executive stress relief"), and now digital entrepreneurship. Bwog caught up with Kareem Shaya, former Fed editor-in-chief and inventor of famous website Send Barack Your Baby, which lately has gotten all sorts of attention from the rest of the internet, namely Gawker and CNN.

The website provides an opportunity for parents to ship their children in boxes to Illinois so that they might be kissed by a certain other Columbia grad. Except it doesn't actually, which is why the slideshow of Obama-supporting babies features no baby-in-box pictures, to remind us it's only a joke and that babies can't even vote.

One newsanchor in the CNN video also cautions us not to send an actual infant but "if you do, be sure to use bubble wrap." At which point she suffocates a doll with bubble wrap and sticks it in a carboard box. Mazel Tov Kareem!

City Room is reporting that our red-tailed friends down on 81st and Riverside have hatched a trio of eyases! The mom and dad are still unnamed, though.

Keep updated for a post later this week about Hawkmadinejad's gender, marital status and more! Oh my!

Bwogger Katie Reedy overheard the phone conversation of a dorm security guard...

"I know. I know, I was like 'oh damn' too... Yea, and so I asked her, I said, 'Girl, how do you know it's mine.' And she said, 'I didn't ever do it with anyone else.' And I was like, 'What?! Girl, I need to know this is for real - I need to know that this is not just some Maury shit.' I said, 'I am not a statistic!!'"

Just make sure that at Thanksgiving dinner 20 years from now, you don't let him know he was an accident. Bwog knows that hurts.

Bwog came across this flyer on a lamppost on Broadway near 113^th today, and immediately melted from cuteness-overload. Our heart goes out to this poor child—the loss of a favored toy is a tragic event, indeed. Like the Good Samaritans we are, Bwog will do anything in its power to reunite blue giraffe with his rightful owner—so if you have any leads, email bwgossip@columbia.edu and we'll give you the phone number from the poster. Tally Ho!

More stuff you shouldn't have saved on a public computer.

However, only the artists know the intentions that lie behind these choices. Since they are dead, we will never know but can guess.

These artists seem almost the equivalent of psychologists in that rather than telling us what is important, they depict it through the use of geometry, color, light, contour lines, and the placement of figures, and they devise many ways for our eyes to be guided to a single place, the Madonna and the child. Some questions remain.
