• Adam Bianchi- While attending his first class in Italy he started to argue with
  his teacher who said that trees are a nonrenewable resource and that John Muir was the first chief of the Forest Service. This angered the teacher, so she threw him out of class. He now has a different class with a different teacher. Best of luck Adam.

August 28th, 2007

• This knothead goes to Aaron Rector and Rob Allen for deciding to go to Voyagers National Park to fish and paddle around during a stormy week. The first day was really stormy so they decided not to go out. The second day looked a little better so they decided to give the water a try. With a half days supply of food, fishing gear, and a girl they paddled out to an island (for a romantic get away!) only to be surprised with more storms. After three days of being stranded on the island they decided to paddle back to shore. On their way back to shore 3' waves came up and almost sank them. Way to go you two!
