The Think Tank: Longbottom Victorious

By: Chelsea Dagger

You know the part in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows when Neville just OWNS EVERYBODY'S FACE OFF and becomes the Gryffindor-sword-wielding underdog champion of the universe? Well, that's how good it felt to see 108 comments underneath last week's Think Tank.

We, the noble, rakishly good-looking, profusely sweaty members of Phi Beta Dagger, must today bravely acknowledge a cold, hard fact: summer vacation is OVER.

The Think Tank: You Brought This Luau Upon Yourselves

By: Chelsea Dagger

As usual, several historic events have occurred since the last Think Tank post:

1. Frodo Baggins died.

2. Frodo Baggins didn't actually die. That was just a joke.

3. It appears that last week's riddle may have had two correct answers (statements 2 and 3). Or maybe it only had one (statement 2). There's really no way to tell for sure (actually there is, but it seems hard), so we decided to count both answers as correct. You may applaud or boo as you see fit. Note: Any boo-ers will be promptly turned into ferrets. SHA-ZAM.
