This last weekend for the men’s hockey squad was one mallet stroke away from a complete gong show. Against the University of Manitoba Bisons, they earned only one of a possible four points and accumulated 99 minutes in penalties over two games, so it is not surprising the Dinos no longer find themselves in the… Continue reading Shitting the bed like senior citizens

Pemmican anyone?
Another weekend, another sweep–this team is finally getting rolling. After struggling with consistency in the first half of the season, the #1 ranked Dinos women’s volleyball team is playing with a little attitude, playing like they know they’re the best. “All year we were fluctuating up and down and then, after the [games against] the… Continue reading Pemmican anyone?

With an election on the horizon, Calgary is experiencing daily bombardments of media coverage on party candidates, oops, I mean candidate, singular. All we hear and see is Belinda Stronach. No, wait, come to think of it,… Continue reading Judging by appearances
Mentality of the mob
‘Are they getting louder or just dumber?’ “Dumber, sir.” That would be Mayor Quimby questioning an aide if the crowd outside his office were as unbelievable as they sounded. They wanted the “Bear Patrol” but didn’t want to pay the “Bear Tax.” The solution, or perhaps the problem, was too many immigrants keeping taxes too… Continue reading Mentality of the mob

There are indeed many connections between the so-called natural sciences (biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, etc.) and the social sciences linking these two disciplines together. The Merriam-Webster definition… Continue reading Another take on science
