The Mindset of the Incoming College Freshmen

Posted by kdawson on from the we-have-always-lived-in-the-castle dept.

Beloit College has come out with its annual Mindset List of what the incoming class (of 2013) has always known and has never known. "For these students, ... the Green Giant has always been Shrek, not the big guy picking vegetables. They have never used a card catalog to find a book. ... Tattoos have always been very chic and highly visible. ... Rap music has always been mainstream. ... Except for the present incumbent, the President has never inhaled. ... Amateur radio operators have never needed to know Morse code."

    It's a weapon, +4 to music slaying, +2 to virgin slaying, +10 to eardrum slaying. Successful attack requires target to roll saving throw for will.
