QuickHits for Dec. 3

Roy gets 600th win

Thumbs up

UNC men’s basketball coach Roy Williams recently notched his 600th career win. Congratulations are in order. Now let’s see if he and his boys can pull a repeat of last year’s NCAA victory.
 

Texting law

Thumbs up

Chances are, you text while driving. In fact, maybe you’re driving right now, reading these QuickHits.  But there’s a  state law banning texting while driving. Bummer. Now  you can’t text your friend and tell him how great this QuickHit is.   

Cannabis University

Thumbs up

Advocates of medical marijuana are opening  colleges that teach how to grow and use pot in Oregon and Michigan.  Why do they need a new college for that? We thought that was what your dorm was for.

Group projects

Thumbs down

As the semester draws to a close, many students are working on group projects.  Everybody hates them and complains: “Group members are unreliable and  I’m doing all the work.” But if everybody says that, somebody must be lying!

Party crashers

Sideways thumb

Move over, Balloon Boy. There’s a new pointless story: the White House party crashers. Yeah, it’s cool they got in. But it’s getting kind of old. How about we launch them in a giant hot-air balloon for real?

Same-sex marriage

Sideways thumb

D.C. is well on its way to legalizing same-sex marriage after the D.C. council voted to approve it on Tuesday. But New York failed to follow suit yesterday. Major fail, New York. Remember the Stonewall riots? Yeah, that was in your state.
