"I guess the worst part is that I've sung along to the words for so long without thinking about them. It's kind of scary to think about the number of times I've said the words 'I'm a hungry man, but I don't want pizza.' The music is just so catchy, I guess I had just kind of overlooked the words." .

Winter Olympics Delayed Because Of Massive Anthrax Contamination

The Winter Olympics scheduled for this February have been indefinitely delayed because of the discovery, by maintenance personnel, of a massive anthrax contamination at the sites of both the downhill and slalom events.

However, in honor of Spirit Week's theme "Hey, Remember the 80's?" the Madonna classic was utilized.

She then snickered when told to report to the headmaster. .
