Nutritional Sciences Major Eating Cucumber Like a Banana Knows Something You Don’t

KINZELBERG HALL—After multiple passers-by observed nutritional sciences major Anthony Walters ‘23 eating a cucumber as one might consume a banana, sources confirmed he must have access to some insider information.

“There’s no way he’s just eating that because he enjoys it, right?” said civil engineering major Madison Davies ‘24. “Like, pickles I could maybe understand, although that’s already pushing it. But a raw cucumber… that must extend your lifespan by, like, ten years or something.”

Reports indicate that Walters calmly reached into his backpack and produced the cucumber midway through a 9:40 a.m. discussion section. He calmly but directly attacked the forbidden fruit, swiftly devouring it and leaving behind only a trail of horrified classmates. According to sources close to Walters, the cucumber is only the tip of the iceberg.

“One time I was making hashbrowns and he asked if I was going to save the potato skin peelings ‘as a snack for later’ or if he could have them,” said roommate Ilana Morgan ‘23. “I thought about trying to get out of our lease then and there, but ultimately I thought better of it. What if he’s willing to share some of his NutSci knowledge? I can’t miss that opportunity.”

At press time, peers were further alarmed after fumes emanating from Walters’ open thermos smelled suspiciously of apple cider vinegar.

Relationship Between Animal Science Professor and Lab Tech Draws Criticisms After Revelation That They Began Working Together When She Was Just A Calf

FRANK MORRISON HALL—Animal Science Professor Dr. Cleetus Conroy came under fire from campus critics this week after the revelation that his long standing relationship with one of the lab’s research cows began when she was only a calf. While many had looked fondly upon the human-cattle couple, this new discovery has ignited a hotbed of debate surrounding the pair.

“It’s so easy to judge from afar,” said Dr. Conroy, smiling sweetly towards his bovine lover. “Randie and I have an unspoken bond between us, one that connects her cow soul to my human one. I mean, age is just a number, and species is just a bunch of latin gobbledygook.”

While Dr. Conroy maintains that he waited until the ‘appropriate’ time to begin their relationship, other members of the lab claim that the romance began while Randie was still sucking colostrum. In addition, lab employees have accused Dr. Conroy of inappropriate conduct, making crass comments, and “excessive milking.”

“MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO,” stated Randie, in what Dr. Conroy explained was an impassioned proclamation of the love that they shared for one another. Dr. Conroy then placed his arm around the cow’s midsection in a manner that can only be described as “uncomfortable”.

Despite remaining committed to one another throughout the ongoing scandal, the couple’s relationship is reportedly on the rocks after Dr. Conroy was spotted whispering sweet nothings into the ear of a particularly plump rooster.
