Summer of Code Deadline Extended 6 Days

mithro writes "If you thought that you had missed out on applying to the Google Summer of Code, you've just gotten a reprieve. The deadline for student submissions has been extended from the original April 1 to Monday April 7, 2008. To quote Leslie Hawthorn: 'This year, we experimented with the Google Summer of Code program timeline, providing one week for students to discuss project ideas with their mentors and then a single week to submit applications. The good news is that we've heard that overall application quality is much higher this year and that students have really benefited from the opportunity to have extra time to discuss their ideas with their potential mentors. However, we've still heard feedback from the community that it would be useful to provide more time for students to submit their applications, so we've done just that.'"

    Dozens of people all across the globe huddled together to watch... NOTHING AT ALL! Gotta love the ever-nebulous reasoning of "raising awareness," though. With no clear goals and absolutely no effect on energy usage, at least you greenies got to assuage your self-imposed guilt for one hour.

    Is it sexual harassment to ask if it's ok if someone sold back a used book that they may have accidentally rubbed their wang on all over once or twice maybe?

    Is it ok to rub your wang on stuff?

    Can the police get DNA evidence from things that have been rubbed by wangs?

    I rubbed my wang all over this computer.
