    Rome and Valencia

    Assuming you mean Valencia, Spain, I lived there for a semester last year, so maybe I'm a little biased, but it's an incredible city. If you're into beaches, they have some of the best there; though, I'd wager you'll have to try hard to find one not overflowing with tourists right now. You...

    "Just Sayin" Eliminated from ISU Daily

    This all happened while there was a debate in letters to the editor section that featured some, if not racist, then offensive opinions about Asians. That debate itself started with a letter that pointed out some definitely racist memes on that facebook page. And being a student at Iowa State, I...

    Off the beaten path TV series suggestions

    Eureka/Warehouse 13/Alphas are all good, nerdy, not-well-known shows on SyFy. Not sure if this is off the beaten path, since it won a golden globe, but Homeland was the best show on tv last year, in my opinion.

    Boring Sunday question of the day.

    Lays Kettle Cooked. Any flavor. I swear, they sprinkle cocaine on those, right along with the unhealthy amount of salt.

    Pancheros v Qdoba v Chipotle

    This. I was forced by my friends to eat Chipotle the other day... up until then, my hate for Chipotle was simply based on how everyone seemed to worship it and dismiss Panch. However, I can now say that the fresh pressed tortilla and mixed ingredients at Panchero's really DOES make all the...

    University of Iowa adds LGBT housing floor

    This thread could have gone so many intensely offensive ways. As is, it's just hilarious. Well done, fanatics.

    For a good laugh

    I sincerely hope this guy is just mega-trolling. If not, then i'll have to bump down my level of faith in humanity a tad.

    80/35 Music Festival Rumors?

    girl talk should be fun... and edward sharpe and the magnetic zeros and grace potter are both awesome. so far, so good. the fact that eddie vedder is in minnesota on the 2nd is just teasing me. he's far too high profile/expensive, i feel. knowing 80-35, they'll make sure the lineup is great...

    John Lennon and Kurt Cobain

    No question that Lennon's death was a bigger deal... speaking from a complete outsider's point of view (i was only 3 when Kurt Cobain killed himself). I'm a huge fan of both the beatles and Nirvana, but the fact is that Lennon was more popular, and more influential, than Cobain was. Both bands...

    Who's your favorite ISU player to watch during the game?

    On offense, I like watching Jake Williams... it's just awesome when he makes the clutch, jumpball catches for a first down or touchdown. On defense, definitely Jake Knott. For all the reasons everyone already mentioned.

    Any SMALLVILLE fans around.

    i think the show got kinda stupid for a few seasons in there, like seasons 4-7 ish. but imho, the last 2 seasons (counting this one currently airing) have been the best so far. love seeing the progression to superman.

    Charity project, if you guys have time...

    Hey, I've only posted a few times on the board, and never started a thread, but I figure this is as good a reason as any for my first. I'm in a club on campus called Hope 4 Africa @ Iowa State, a subsidiary of the non-profit Hope 4 Africa. Our organization essentially tries to raise money...

    What's the last good book you've read?

    If you're into non-fiction books, I'm currently reading Hot, Flat, and Crowded by Thomas Friedman which is a really interesting study on why we need a green, clean energy revolution in America and how it would revive the economy. Friedman is pretty full of himself but he makes great points...
