    Dollarshaveclub.com - it's real

    FYI, you can buy the razors direct from the manufacturer for much cheaper than Dollar Shave Club: http://lifehacker.com/5903771/forget-dollar-shave-clubbuy-the-same-high-quality-razors-for-a-third-of-the-price Some guy figured out that they were marking up Dorco brand razors.

    UCLA/USC Brawl - clear video of guy being shanked

    a lot of the people at the usc-ucla football game aren't students... my 1st thought when i heard about the brawl was that it involved a bunch of transplanted raiders fans. this certainly doesn't help the case that LA should get an NFL team.

    Activist group claims to send AIDS-tainted razors to animal researcher

    went to UCLA... a couple of years ago these animal protestors admitted to lighting a van on fire. IIRC, the van had nothing to do with the animal research; it was a van-pool van owned by the transportation department. take-home lesson: this group doesn't really act logically, and they're not...
