Q: What's worse than mid-terms? (Besides exams.)

A: if semesters had half-lives, and we had to take mid-terms at each one.

Shudder. shudder

We got you there with the innocent lilt of that riddle format, now didn't we? We bet you expected that the answer would be some sort of pun, as we'll admit we are wont to make--some petty witticism, with which you could chuckle your ennuiaway. Instead, though, you were shocked with a hideous hypothetical.

"Subversive." you muse. But let us explain our logic: we're simply trying to keep you on your toes, you see. The ides of march are approaching, and you must beware them. You can't trust anyone come this time of year: that means no assumptions, kiddo.

Not even Harvard's favorite travel guide is safe. Who knew that Rolling stone could be so harsh? Now that is one sun that we here at FM do not long for a day in, thank you very much.

We did, however, have a some-what similar experience here on campus. it seems as though our sister conservative publication Peninsula has stabbed us in the back, mocking us by advertising "No condoms inside!" on the front of their February issue. We are extremely hurt. We fear it might damage our sales.

Ides or no ides, you really can't trust anyone these days.
