DJ Pauly D — of Jersey Shore fame — has been getting his hair styled at the same barbershop for almost ten years. It’s a unique and original cut. Lots of hair, lots of gel, lots of muscle. The Herald investigates.

A recent Google Alert on “Brown University” (and high attention alert to “fake ID”) turned up the following news article from Singapore’s The Straits Times:

Her ‘identification card’ says she is 22 and from Brown University in the United States, while the other has a Norwegian ‘driver’s licence’ which lists him as 25.

Who knew Brown issued valid ID? I mean, they do work at FishCo… and in Southeast Asia?

US News & World Report may say we’re 16th, but Google Trends knows what’s really up. And no, these results have nothing to do with British Prime Ministers, current senators, or Godfathers of Soul. Obviously.

WTF Comcast — Now that cable isn’t free at Brown, you might as well just laugh at it.

The Lady herself didn’t actually shoot Bad Romance in Rhode Island, but four Warwick college students did create this shot-by-shot remake, involving brilliant low-budget props such as hula hoops, laundry baskets and tinfoil. One of the four teens is starting Army boot camp in June, and he told the Projo that “things in the Army will go a little smoother if they don’t know about this video.”

You’ll be amazed and awed, but probably mostly jealous that you didn’t do it first.

For optimal enjoyment, check out the two videos side-by-side on YouTube doubler.

In case you missed President Obama’s State of the Union on Wednesday night because you were gelling your hair for Fish Co. hoping to see DJ Pauly D, already doing work, or maybe just sleeping, do not fear. New York Magazine’s “Daily Intel” blog has created a 5-minute version of the entire speech. The actual speech was over an hour long, and although it would be ideal to watch the entire thing, it is understandable as college students to want to have a general idea of what the President said without watching the entire thing, so enjoy!

Onion rings with the crispy, golden breading that just can’t be found at Jo’s. We know you’re supposed to eat greasy food after you drink, but it can’t hurt to warm up.

Welcome to BlogDailyHerald’s new feature, in which we accost random students and ask them to expound on various issues of importance or lack thereof. After the jump. a freshman, a sophomore and a junior opine on the State of the Union (assuming they could remember it) [Read more →]
