Michael K বলেছেন...: When I was a medical student (yes I was ARM), a first year medical student ran for USC Student Body President, which was mostly an undergrad popularity contest, on a platform that, if elected, he would abolish student government. He was elected.

Proving that nothing changes and inertia is resistant to reform, student government resumed after his term.; ১৯/৬/১৩, ৩:১১ PM

Hairballs. IF they're not fixed they spray everywhere and leave a nasty stench. They scratch up the furniture.
Still better than most congressmen.; ১৯/৬/১৩, ৬:২৯ PM
