Editorial note: The Prereq was just added to the Blogroll. While not written by college students (as far as I can tell) it’s well written and has some of the best stories about higher ed that I’ve seen anywhere. A definite recommendation for your RSS feeder.
Also, July will be a little inconsistant for us (me) here at SB since it’ll be heavy on the traveling. Apologies if this fails to satiate your student blog hunger. - Alex

As you might remember, one of our compatriots previously requested the blogosphere’s help in a paper on the great Pirate vs Ninja war. Today we have the result (which helped get an A in the class)! Excerpt:
When historians look back upon the political climate of America at the turn of the millennium, they will doubtless remark upon the number of diametric issues that polarized the nation: pro-life versus pro-choice, evolution versus creationism, the same-sex marriage debate. All these and many more will be mentioned as essential to characterizing the politics of the era.
Historians, however, will probably not spend a great deal of time on another popular millennial debate, even though it is known to thousands and rages on through the medium of the internet: the infamous and long-standing struggle of pirates versus ninjas. [The Desert Mermaid]
In other diametric Internet issue news (how about that segue?), Nietzsche shows that he can smear campaign as good as any 527. [F]
George Carlin’s lasting appeal shows in the tributes in several student blogs.
