How Many Domains Does Your School Own?

ADrexelStudent asks: "A debate has been brought up in recent months at my school, Drexel University, on the issue of whether the school should be allowed to own over 300 domain names. One domain, drexel.com, has been purchased from the students that owned the site, which was being used as a student forum. Another site, drexel.org, is under contest from the school against it's owner, a student. The university claims they didn't know the owner was a student and hence filed a lawsuit claiming trademark violation. Problem is the school doesn't own the trademark, a furniture company with no relation to Drexel does. Out of all the 300+ domains, only one outside the .edu TLD is being used, drexel.com, prompting the argument that this is an attempt by the university to silence student opinion on the Internet. My question for slashdot is how many schools out there purchase domains with no intent to use them, should student tuition be used in this manner, and what is your opinion of this practice?"

    "In retrospect, lighting the match was my big mistake. But I was only trying to retrieve the gerbil," Jeff Bates told bemused doctors in the Severe Burn Unit of Salt Lake City Hospital.
    Bates and his homosexual partner Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda, had been admitted for emergency treatment after a felching session had gone seriously wrong. "I pushed a cardboard tube up his rectum and slipped Raggot, our gerbil, in." he explained. "As usual, CmdrTaco shouted out "Armageddon", my cue that he'd had enough. I tried to retrieve Raggot but he wouldn't come out again, so i peered into the tube and struck a match, thinking the light might attract him."
    At a hushed press confrence, a hospital spokesman described what happened next. "The match ignited a pocket of intestinal gas and a flame shot out of the tubing, igniting Mr. Bates' hair and severly burning his face. It also set fire to the gerbil's fur and whiskers which in turn ignited a larger pocket of gas further up the intestine, propelling the rodent out like a cannonball." Bates suffered second degree burns and a broken nose from the impact of the gerbil, while Malda suffered first and second degree burns to his anus and lower intestinal tract.

    And while I'm talking about weather forcasters.. People in MA/NH/VT should check out Al Kaprilian on WNDS, a local indie station from NH. His weather delivery is insane. He has a high pitched squeaky voice that fluctuates octaves and he runs and jumps and skips and flies across the green screen. There's a picture of him at http://www.wndsnews.com/kaprielianbio.html . Just looking at him, you know he's a few cards short of a full deck. But he rules.
