Each year, dozens of student groups design and flaunt custom tank-tops, always rich with puns, inside jokes, or barely-relevant graphics. The truth about fling tanks, however, is that they're always bad, and you'll never wear them again. That said, everyone loves tank rankings, so we've put together some of the best tanks ever made.
April 20th: the Weed Day baby!! There are conflicting stories on the origins of the holiday, but one thing is for sure: today is the day to take in copious amounts of green, because it says so on the calendar. For many, this is a blessing. For others? A curse. Never fear, though. If you don't smoke, there are plenty of other ways to celebrate.
10. Biochemistry -- How else are we going to engineer new, dank strains of the stickiest of the icky? The world needs Biochem majors.
We all know the many Benjamin Franklin quotes on 37th Street (apparently called "Benjamin Franklin's Way"), installed in 2009. The collection includes classics like "Haste Makes Waste," and many more. Through careful (and trustworthy) research, however, we at UTB have discovered that the 19 proverbs inscribed in the ground today weren't exactly complete – they were shortened to save space. We've found and listed the full quotations below, with the parts from the stones in italics. Reading these very real statements, it's no surprise that they were abridged.

Well before you buy a floor pass from your stoner hall mate who is going to mark the price up 300%, buy from your friends here at UTB! SPEC has given us 12 floor passes that we must selflessly allocate to the greater commonwealth. However, we can't just give these things away so here the challenges that you must complete to earn the opportunity to purchase a floor pass for SPRING FLING!
At this point, most people have heard about about a speaking event featuring CIA Director John Brennan being shut down by protestors. Among their chants were "The CIA is a terrorist organization," and "drones kill kids." Of course the actions of these protestors are controversial, with no shortage of supporters and critics. However you feel about their actions, there are some things we all wish would be shut down by protestors.
Person A: What did you get into last weekend?
Here at UTB, we like to make value judgements in a "Pro/Con/Pro" format. However, today's topic was unanimously decided to be a net loss: hence, the "Pro/Con/Con." We asked ourselves, "Is it worth it to see Hoodie Allen in concert?" No. Certainly not. Then we asked, "Is it worth it to see Hoodie Allen ironically?"
Tomorrow – yes, tomorrow! – Josh Singer, the Oscar-winning screenwriter/producer of this year's Best Picture, Spotlight, will be speaking at the Annenberg Center. Doors open at 4 p.m., and the event starts at 4:30 p.m.
Imagine a pong game-- what do you see? A number of red Solo cups, perhaps arranged in triangular formations on either side of the table, is probably what you thought of first. So it makes sense that running out of red Solo cups really kills the vibes. We've all tried to play pong with different cups, and it's usually a bummer. Not all replacements are equally terrible, though. Here are some alternatives that just might rival the red Solo experience.
An associate Penn professor of linguistics has apparently been hard at work developing a linguistic database that will allow users to view the roots of the words they look up, as well as related words in a number of languages. Cool, right?
One is a beloved, intelligent, and successful musician, known for his angelic voice and home full of Grammys.
Puerto Vallarta. So ubiquitous a spring break destination for the Cool Kids™ of Penn that it goes by a shortened, simpler moniker: PV. Where are you going this spring break? PV. Where'd you spend your vacation? Oh, in PV. But people often forget that there are other places in the world named PV.
If you need to break up with your significant other but can't find the perfect location to deliver the crushing news, consider this depressing spot. Tucked away in the corner of the Starbucks under Commons, this alcove has all the trappings necessary to turn an OK breakup experience into a great one. Here's why:
Hey guys, I'm really sorry to post here, but I lost my coat at a party this weekend. I'm not sure where I was exactly, but I remember there being a bunch of incredibly small people-- like, Night at the Museum small-- doing tai chi to the beat of the critically acclaimed reggae album Earth Crisis by Steel Pulse. If this party rings any bells, please comment below.
The inter-house application process for on-campus housing next year just opened up yesterday, and closes tomorrow. For many, hours of the next days will be spent frantically filling out forms and wrangling roommates for an overpriced, poorly maintained apartment with one too few rooms. But it doesn't have to be that way. You don't have to pay the price of stress for your housing this year. In fact, you don't have to pay at all. We've scoured the campus and created a guide to free housing and showering at Penn.
You might remember when we wrote about the Furniture Campus Home Store a while ago, when they had a "Grand Opening" for their new Asian Food Market. Turns out that not only is the store great for chairs and instant noodles, it's also great for last minute gifts on Valentine's Day. Amazon orders won't get here by tonight, so we've assembled some of the best options below.
