Local elections are coming up, and I think we need to stack the regional council with people like the ones that run Vegas.  In the mag this week, Elliot’s written an excellent piece about the Otago Regional Council (ORC) and their management of a major river in Otago. It’s Read more...

It was your average Saturday night on Re-O week, I'd finished up at Castle and figured it was time to pull. I had just seen the guy that ghosted me pull another bird and I needed to crack on. With perfect timing, I got a Snapchat from a Tinder guy who I had been talking with a little. I thought, Read more...

This week we have an image supplied by Jeff. We were spot on with last week’s location, but it cost us our dignity. Fraser was looking at Larry the Lobster in Kingston SE, by Adelaide. First Thoughts: Budweiser stadium, we’re in the States for sure. Is there a Budweiser stadium? Read more...

Booze Review | Guinness

Posted 6:33pm Monday 25th July 2022 by Chug Norris

Ireland may have shown themselves to be a superior rugby force in recent weeks, but at least our national beverage doesn’t taste like watery-piss vegemite.

Editorial: How much data is in one ejaculation?

Posted 2:40pm Monday 25th July 2022 by Fox Meyer

One sperm contains about 3.3 billion base pairs, stored in DNA. Each base pair is two bits of data, for a total of 787MB of data per sperm. With somewhere around 280 million sperm per ejaculation, that means a single load contains about 220,000 terabytes of data. That’s a lot of information to Read more...

There I was, fresh into my first year at Otago, having spent the first-half semester with my virginity still intact.
