"San Francisco Chronicle, yesterday's edition, has a pic of two Stanford female undergrads skinnydipping in the fountain in front of the bookstore, taking a break from protesting in nude against sweatshop production of Stanford apparels. Oh, the aesthetics of student activism here... (now, take off that sweater, vinod!)"




"Cooling off from sweatshop rally
Stanford University students Bradley Heinz (left) and Christine Hoffmann take a dip in a fountain Tuesday during a break in a rally to call attention to sweatshops. Protesters, many of them nude, want to ensure that goods bearing the school's logo are made in factories where workers are paid living wages and are free to form unions. Eleven students were cited for trespassing in President John Hennessy's office, but they were released after promising to appear in court. Chronicle photo by Deanne Fitzmaurice"

Here are some things we know about the (One) Ring:

It's pure evil.
It wants to be found.
It has gobs of seductive power, particularly when the race of men is involved.
It poisoned Gollum's mind slowly over time, forcing him to dedicate every
thought to it.
It ultimately betrays those who dedicate themselves to it.

Basically, the ring is a woman.
