The twin actresses who played Pebbles in the Flintstones movie go to Columbia! And now Bwog has that stupid song in its head.

UPDATE: They're in SEAS. And they're girls. And they're in SEAS.

Tips are slower these days, but a critical mass has long since accumulated. Items of interest:

NSOP has a theme! Not as graphically snazzy, but least they're not hyperventilating like last year.

Silly kids. Don't they know that winners play basketball?

This happened a while ago, but good news doesn't get old. Cute!

71 indictments for accused J-school rapist: why don't we just assume he's getting life and call it a day?

CU profs come out for Spitzer spawn (at least 5, by our count)

It appears that the SEAS 2011 valedictorian race is over.

Everyone should enter this. Cereal party!

A few items have come over the alias recently that we thought we'd share. To wit:

University Senate candidate Eric Wang has scored again on the campaign publicity. Although his website seems to be inactive and posters alone don't quite measure up to last year's brilliance, somehow, it works.

One tipster unaccountably roaming Hamilton this week sighted an odd poster, calling for virgins to audition to be on a show in which they'd live in a house with porn stars and compete to lose their virginity to a porn star (or to all the pornstars?). The company doing it is also responsible for some Paris Hilton video and something called "American Cannibal." While Bwog doesn't endorse such loose living, if you do elect to audition, please let us know how it goes.

According to an e-mail sent to the same tipster this week, one of our innumerable illustrious alumni has started a teeth-whitening company, and we are among the select students who get a special discount!

Bwog recieved a strange departure notice in its inbox this evening: some bureaucrat is leaving for better pastures, and the Office of the President saw fit to commemorate the event with an ALL CAPS ANNOUNCEMENT. Stranger still, the press release seems to have been verbalized in large part by President Bollinger himself, who found time to rehash the retiree's credentials for some assiduous PR scribe. If for some reason you're not on PrezBo's mailing list, the e-mail is reprinted after the jump.

A few notable links that have come in over the past couple of days:

1) Andrew Delbanco's essay in The New Republic, War College. The chair of American Studies department, Delbanco reflects on his teaching of LitHum and the difficulties of understanding war within the university.

2) An update on the final exam incident at the J-school. At least one student has sent Gawker some scuttlebutt on today's section of Freedman's course, which was mandatory and supposed to weed out the cheaters.

3) Advice from the Dude Decoder on Alloy, an online magazine targeted at 12-16 year old tweens. A CC sophomore interns for the company, and the dudes here are a bunch of her '09 friends - Bwog's favorites are Steve S. (Do you mind if a girl is better than sports?), Max P. (Are girls who dress for class hot or not?) and Jordan K. (What's the last time you cried?)

4) More from Gawker - they've read our Wednesday personals and have nothing nice to say about our Greek friends. Too bad.

Bwog recieved this picture and a panicked message from a camera phone a few minutes ago:

"I WAS WALKING DOWN BROADWAY AND THIS LITTLE AGE [sic] WAS SITTING INJURED ON THE SIDEWALK SOMEONE FIND A BIRD EXPERT. There as to be someone here for enviro day.We put him near this Tree at bArnard"

Save the bird! Make a friend!

Bwog doesn't quite know what to say about this sign, encountered unexpectedly in a stairwell to a bus platform. Fragments here, full advertisement after the jump.

Craziness.
