Back in late January, Sky Sushi replaced their old sign. However, they kept the old sign due to the sentimental value it holds. As written on the Facebook Page for Sky Sushi, “it’s not only our first business sign but also it’s our memory....” Recently, the old sign was stolen, much to owner Curly Zhang’s dismay. Zhang wrote to the Lode that they kept it at the side of their building,...
Only 23 years after the beginning of the Hundred Years’ War, on April 13, 1360, a hail storm devastated English troops when it killed 1,000 soldiers and 6,000 horses in France.

Have you ever been in bed, comfortably reading or watching a show, perhaps even simply just dozing, and happened to glance towards some shadowy, forgotten corner of your room? You instantly jolt to awareness, pulled from the soothing embrace of sleep, to lock eyes with a hideous, frightening, and ungodly monstrosity, just casually making itself at home in your bedroom. Before you jump to vanquish this monster, squashing it under a magazine, consider this: spiders are actually our friends. Life...
Most of us have at least one hobby we enjoy. Interests dictate what hobbies we invest in, whether that’s collecting Pokémon cards or scuba diving. Money and time also affect what we can do.

I’m sure you’re all so excited to get to wander the campus again, to gaze adoringly up at the questionably phallic shape of the MEEM and get swept away in the wind vortex of the main paths. It's a thrilling time of year. Statistically speaking, you, dear reader, are either a student or professor of one of our wonderful and well-funded STEM programs. This means that you probably work with a fair amount of math. I would even go so far as to wager that you consider...
