Iowa College Goes Paperless

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the go-ahead-order-a-transcript-just-try-it dept.

As reported in this Wired article, joelav22 writes that an "Iowa college plans to go completely paperless. There are no libraries, just work stations for e-books and online information. the article supports that 'The school plans to be an entirely paper-free campus. Last year, about 75 telecommunications students participated in a pilot program to go paperless. Each student used a Compaq iPaq handheld to access e-textbooks, syllabi and class materials, and to take notes and exams.' less time spent in a library equals more time for beer and filming amateur Girls Gone Wild digital video!"

    And they're not likely to make the leap from college to university any time soon, with a hair brained scheme like this one.

    Mr. Brown: O.K., let me tell you what Slashdot's about. It's all about this CmdrTaco who's a regular fuck machine, I'm talking morning, day, night, afternoon, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick.
    Mr. Blue: How many dicks is that?
    Mr. White: A lot.
    Mr. Brown: Then one day he meets this John Holmes motherfucker and it's like, whoa baby, I mean this cat is like Charles Bronson in the Great Escape, he's digging tunnels. Now, he's gettin the serious dick action and he's feeling something he ain't felt since forever. Pain. Pain. It hurts him. It shouldn't hurt him, you know his asshole should be Bubble Yum by now, but when this cat fucks him it hurts. It hurts just like it did the first time. You see the pain is reminding a fuck machine what it once was like to be a virgin. Hence, "Like a virgin."
