On a typical Sunday morning, the line for Bui's food truck extends down 38th Street, as Penn students desperately search for relief from headaches, fatigue, dehydration and unsettled stomachs -- classic symptoms of a hangover.
I'm not a huge baseball fan, but I do make it a point to tune in for the historic moments. I tuned in to the Mark McGuire/Sammy Sosa home run battle when I was in high school. As a true-blue Bostonian, I watched every second of the Red Sox's unprecedented victory over the Yankees, and I drank a bottle of cheap champagne when they swept the Cardinals. I also watched the game where Barry Bonds hit his 660th home run, and the game where he hit number 700. That's why I was so sad to hear on ESPN that Barry Bonds had admitted to using steroids.
Hey, there, holiday shoppers! Can't think of any good stocking stuffers this year? No time to hit the mall? Never fear, eBay has got you covered. Nothing says I love you like -- the ghost of someone else's dead father! Cnn.com recently featured the story of a woman selling her father's ghost on eBay in order to allay the fears of her six-year-old son, who was convinced his grandfather was still haunting their home. The winning bidder is asked to send a letter to the little boy telling him how well they are getting along with the newly acquired ghost. That person would also receive grandpa's walking cane as a memento. The last I checked, the bidding was up to $20,000.
Another game, another controversy for the Penn student section.
With its grand opening just a week ago, Penn's all-cereal restaurant has already become a popular spot on campus.
The Inca Empire thrived on the seemingly tireless efforts of its conquered subjects. Working for days on end without food or sleep, the multitudes toiled with a small wad of green leaves tucked in the corner of their mouths. Picked from a small bush the Incas called "k'oka" -- the "holy and highly exalted" -- the plant soon underpinned the exploitive Spanish silver industry, financed European wars, and, a bit later, helped 25-year-old Albert Neiman publish his doctoral thesis in 1860, entitled "On a New Organic Base in the Coca Leaves."
Penn Nursing professor and researcher Linda Aiken recently finished directing a three-year program aimed at bringing four Eurasian hospitals up to Western standards of health care and nursing.
'Thanksgiving is on a Thursday this year," I wrote in a third grade essay. "My entire family is coming over to eat and watch movies. This year, we're having 50 people, eating turkey and watching Home Alone."
The signs that have been appearing in SEPTA vehicles of late -- threatening the end of the world if the state government doesn't agree to give SEPTA more money already -- are taunting me. The next time I have control over the minds of state legislators from other counties, I'll be glad to exert my powerful influence. Right.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Last night Penn had no answer for Providence's best player on the court. And no, it was not Ryan Gomes.

The Penn Police stress that their priority when dealing with incidents involving alcohol is keeping students safe, not arresting those who violate underage drinking laws.
Penn and its various peer institutions are embarking on different paths in their common quest to make the undergraduate weekend party experience as safe as possible.
When I think of practical jobs, I think of cubicles. I think of forsaking one's dreams. And, unfortunately, I think of math.
The Weiss Tech House kicked off its first annual PennVention competition last night with a meeting featuring Marvin Weinberger, a professional inventor and entrepreneur whose creations have received national attention and been featured in The New York Times, Popular Science and the Chicago Tribune, as well as on CBS's The Early Show.
On Election Day, a little less than 60 percent of eligible voters showed up at the polls, and the electoral college carved the country up into red- and blue-colored states. The eve of Nov. 2 was tense, all over Philadelphia. This is a diary of the people who really lost the election this week.
I love drinking. I always have. When I was a kid, I used to drink non-alcoholic beer. I'm serious. I did this from the age of like 10 until I could convince my folks to give me real booze at home. I started young and never looked back; I would say drinking is one of my most serious hobbies.
Following six deaths at New York University within the past year -- at least four of which were suicides -- mental health has become a greater concern for many university communities.
While Halloween weekend is known to be one of the wilder weekends on campus, the Halloween nightlife this year was surprisingly sedate across the University.
I grew up one town over from Cambridge, Mass., and all my life I went to school less than a mile from that most famous of Cambridge institutions, Harvard University. As such, I spent many a Friday afternoon and Saturday night hanging out in Harvard Square, the little shopping district adjacent to campus. The Square, as it is known to all those lucky enough to have graced its sidewalks as more than one-time tourists, has historically been a place of cultural independence, a national chain store-less beacon for non-mainstream youth. But that all changed about 15 years ago.
