For those of you who haven’t been living under a rock for the past couple of weeks, we’ve got a new pope! If you have been living under a rock, seek help, because that’s not normal behavior, and you’ve probably got a disease.

Let’s get nostalgic.
A few weeks ago, we ranted and raved about one of the beer world’s greatest treasures, Bell’s Hopslam. And we noted that it definitely slammed you with hops. Maybe you just like hops, or even like-like them. But you don’t love them like us or don’t appreciate being slapped in the face by them. Does that mean that you can’t enjoy a good IPA every once in a blue moon? Not if you can get your hands on one of Bell’s other fantastic beers: the Two-Hearted Ale.
One month ago, while others were smelling fragrant bouquets of roses and unwrapping boxes of heart-shaped sugar, I was still struggling out of the humiliating mire of pubic rejection from my one true love.
So much of our entertainment and culture is centered on violence. It is shown in almost every form of media we have — music, movies, television, advertising and books among the group — yet video games are made the scapegoat.
Five past midnight, Monday, March 11. I had ventured back to Ohio from an ethereal week in St. Augustine, Fla., and even though the cats of the town made me ill with their dander, spring break could’ve stayed with me until May and my life wouldn’t have been unlived. But my girlfriend made this return trip with me, so suddenly I felt I could be here without simultaneously being lost in a sea of nostalgia.
High-school sports are a great way for youths to be active while learning discipline, hard work, teamwork and the joy of competition, which is why Missouri is currently pushing to join Kentucky and Illinois as the only states to include bass fishing as a publicly sanctioned varsity sport.
Airplanes, automobiles and home appliances all became commonplace during the 20th century, but one particular development ranks among the invention of the wheel and the printing press: mankind’s first forays into outer space.
The NFL season currently includes four preseason games, none of which mean anything in terms of a team’s record.
Mark Zuckerberg created Facebook as a way for people to network socially, and we all know how that turned out. Jack Dorsey created Twitter so the world could share the human experience as fast as the chatter of birds and it became just that, as well as an outlet for people to regurgitate what others have written and call themselves journalists as well as to passive-aggressively fight with each other through the use of vague public messages.
Two weeks ago, something monumental happened: White House Chief Beekeeper Charlie Brandts retired. Which means that, for the aspiring beekeepers at OU looking for greener pastures, have at it! REPRESENT!
Former President George W. Bush has recently been caught with a hidden talent: painting.
As journalists, our profession requires us to be unbiased and impartial. Sometimes we have to stifle our personal opinions in the interest of the public and our own integrity. Luckily, for those who cannot restrain their creative, opinionated and sometimes controversial voices, there is something called the opinion section. In The Post, we publish columns, cartoons, editorials and letters on our opinion page, like many newspapers across the country.
This week we tasted a beer that is supposed to taste like a wine. Or it is a wine that is supposed to take like a beer. We’re really not sure. The brewery, Dogfish Head, claims that it’s the perfect meshing of the beer and wine worlds. We wish we agreed. The Dogfish Head Noble Rot, made with grape must in addition to normal beer ingredients, is nonetheless an interesting beer, even if it fails to impress. Dogfish Head is the maker of some of the greatest beers out there, including the 120 Minute IPA, the Midas Touch and The Black & Blue. Some of their beers are too alcoholic to buy in the state of Ohio; some are made from recipes that date back to ancient Mesopotamia. They’re a brewery that pushes the limits and isn’t afraid to try new (or old) things. Unfortunately, we wished they hadn’t tried this.
I’ve been waiting about seven weeks to say this ... we’re halfway through the semester. It’s a great feeling, right? Think of what is coming for us: spring break is right around the corner, only seven more weeks of classes, fest season is coming soon! These things aside, I can’t help but hate what else this time means — lots and lots of midterms.
