Maybe I'm just really tired, but
this article about dieting elephants is funny/bizarre. (Having now read a bit more, it's not funny; only the image in my head of an elephant counting calories is still funny.)

I'm amused by the notion of the People's Front for the Liberation of Provo. What would it fight for: caffeinated Coke on campus? That no view be obstructed? "END THE 1-15 CORE PROJECT!"? (Yes.)
