Rats love cream of wheat. It's the freakiest thing. Whenever I make some for Jarrod and me, I put a dab in a plastic container, and when it's cooled off a bit, I add a tiny bit of soymilk. Then I put it in their cage, and they all dive into it nose-first, before I even get my hand out of the cage. Four little heads all stuck into this tiny plastic tub.

It's good for them (all that iron and calcium) but the entertainment factor is very high. Especially when they get some in their whiskers or on the end of their nose.

They always lick every tiny last smidgen out of the tub, too.

Join Vegan and Vegetarian Students at PSU for our first social event: Vegan "Cake or Death?" Saturday, March 10 from 6-10 pm in the Multicultural Center on the 2nd floor of the Smith Memorial Student Union at PSU. This event combines great food (vegan cakes/pizza) with great comedy (the amazing British comedian Eddie Izzard).

At 6:00 we'll be bringing out the vegan cakes for a potluck/bake sale. It's a potluck, so we encourage people to bring vegan cakes or other vegan desserts. We are supposed to charge at least a small donation, however, for any cake eaten by the public. So it's also a bake sale. We haven't decided what to do with the money yet, but it will probably go to a Farm Sanctuary or to fund more club events. We will also be offering vegan pizza from Hot Lips.

Then at 7:00 we'll be showing Eddie Izzard's brilliant comedy special "Dress to Kill." It's really hard to explain Eddie Izzard - he describes himself as an "executive transvestite" and does really great impersonations of both squirrels and Scooby Doo, but spends most of this 2 hour special making history hilarious. Just trust us - you need to see this special. At least to understand what "Cake or Death?" is all about.

My commentary: As far as I know, you don't have to be a PSU student to go. I'm not, and I'm going. So if any of my friends want to show up just because, they totally should.
