Quoted: What. The. Spider.

Quoted: Paul Donahoe and one of his University of Nebraska wrestling teammates posed nude for a pornographic Web site aimed at gay men. And that was only the beginning of the trouble.

A very interesting article. However it (indirectly) launches a very challenging debate about halfway through.

Quoted: "There Donahoe was, gyrating and masturbating among tousled bed sheets, under running water in a marbled tile shower and on a charcoal chaise lounge facing a patio window.

on camera, knowing it would be posted to a porn website for gay men? Does it matter if you're a wrestler?

Then it gets to the true question of a double standard, given Nebraska's checkered history of turning the other cheek with football players.

Hilarious. I take it this was a taxidermy stuffed panther that was alive at one point? I hope so, because anything less would be ridiculous.

And in Nicholas Royle's "The Reunion," a school reunion leads to "doppelgangers, identity crisis and unease."
