Duck Penises, Perfect Chins, and Cornell's Inferiority Complex
The quick and dirty about what's been going on around the Ancient Eight (and other schools too).

What exactly are they going to do with all that money, you may be asking? Hopefully answer that pressing question of just how much duck penises shorten or lengthen depending on the time of year, the age of the duck, and its "social environment" (we'll leave it up to you to figure out what that means). Fascinating.
