Debatable: Is it okay to pee in the shower?

Posted 9:23pm Sunday 4th May 2025

Yay If you gotta go, you gotta go – and why not when you’re conveniently in a location with a drain and soap? Before my opponent suggests this: no, it is not a slippery slope into pissing in the sink. Frankly, I don’t see why it’s an issue. If I’m busting to pee Read more...

Debatable: Do rats make good pets?

Posted 9:31pm Sunday 27th April 2025

Debatable: Have Aliens Visited Earth?

Posted 10:44pm Sunday 13th April 2025

No: Let’s not be silly here, team. I love Star Wars and Aliens in the Attic as much as the next guy, but you know what else I love? Rational thinking.  Let’s consider, for one, the sheer vastness of the universe. It’s probably infinite in scale, and even if it’s Read more...

Posted 8:07pm Sunday 5th May 2024

Otago’s campus is rife with debauchery, crawling with scallywags wreaking havoc in the prime time of their youth. Campus Watch, the noble defenders of order on our beloved Uni grounds and student-populated streets, have their work cut out for them. No student would deny their appreciation for Read more...
