The Hell Hole | Issue 3

Posted 3:14pm Sunday 12th March 2017 by Jessica Thompson

I was baby-sitting my little sister that afternoon and we decided to go to Discovery World. She loved the giant piano but got pretty bored with everything else so we paid to visit the Butterfly room. There was no one inside. My sister ran off to gawk at the glass boxes containing caterpillars and Read more...

Posted 11:52am Sunday 12th March 2017 by Charlie O’Mannin

This week the ODT has finally done it. They’ve run out of content completely. Over the next couple of weeks they plan to see how many different kinds of feathers they can lodge in different locations.   We seem to have an infestation of Australian Read more...

Whānau Fit

Posted 2:31pm Sunday 12th March 2017 by Terina Raureti

Kia Ora whānau! Ko Terina Raureti tōku ingoa, ko Ngāti Raukawa tōku iwi, nō Otaki ahau. I started my postgrad journey last year when I discovered my passion in Māori Physical Education and Health and working within our Māori communities. To be honest, when I Read more...

Science Bitches | Issue 3

Posted 2:37pm Sunday 12th March 2017 by Wee Doubt

A placebo is anything that seems to be a “real” medical treatment, but isn’t. It could be a pill, a shot, a spell, a potion; anything a person is told will make them feel better. What all placebos have in common is that they do not contain an active substance that demonstrably Read more...

Booze Review: A Diesel Yardie

Posted 2:45pm Sunday 12th March 2017 by Swilliam Shakesbeer

Diesel is a foul, horrific, gross, horrendous, revolting, evil, nasty, blasphemous, putrid offense to the senses and all sense of moral righteousness. Whoever invented it has done more damage to New Zealand than the Christchurch Earthquake and Max Key’s musical career combined. It’s no Read more...

Economics Everywhere | Issue 3

Posted 2:48pm Sunday 12th March 2017 by Danni Pintacasi

This is a controversial statement to make at a university. For a long time I saw education as a human right, something that should be universally accessible to all those seeking it. Sure, it might be a drag on the taxpayer, but investing in educating a population helps keeps the populous politicians Read more...

Vitalogy | Issue 2

Posted 2:12pm Sunday 5th March 2017 by Prof's Wood & Ruddock

Deadly snakes are generally distinguishable by the thinness of the neck, immediately behind the head, and by their having only two teeth in the upper jaw. Kerosene oil is a never failing remedy for the cure of the bite of snakes and all other poisonous reptiles. Bind cloth wet with kerosene on Read more...

The Hell Hole | Issue 2

Posted 2:18pm Sunday 5th March 2017 by Fanny Clive-Trevor

Sarah had spent years trying to remove the hair on her legs, but the hairs fought back. If she shaved, she’d only graze herself and wreck the blades. If she waxed, the hair would rip out in agonising patches, then her skin would become puckered and pimpled. Lasers glanced off them; depilatory Read more...

ODT Watch | Issue 2

Posted 11:09am Sunday 5th March 2017 by Charlie O’Mannin

This week, the ODT proved yet again that they will brave nonsensical surrealism in order to make a pop culture reference.   Nothing makes us at ODT Watch more aroused than a nice bit of old fashioned ODT ineptitude. Not only is Dan Hendra not the OUSA president, he is also not Read more...
