Here at the Editorial Board, we have noticed that the repeated appearance of a few key factors in the Alligator has actually presented us with a defined cycle.
In a true act of holiday heroism, a Sacramento, Calif., man valiantly defended holiday guests from a knife-wielding, drunk neighbor using only a giant candy cane.
Last week's violent attacks in Mumbai, India, echoed back to the UF campus, and the UF Lubavitch-Chabad Jewish Student and Community Center held a public memorial and vigil service to mourn the victims of the attacks.
Nothing signifies the end of a semester like 20-hour days at the library.
In January of 2007, UF made it illegal to smoke within 50 feet of any campus building. It's a simple rule. It's easy to understand. Somehow, though, smokers keep forgetting to maintain a proper distance.
A 17-year-old from The Villages recently found a potential cure for cancer while doing a science project for school. Seriously.
If there is any lesson to be learned from our parents and grandparents, it's that we shouldn't trample Wal-Mart greeters to death the day after Thanksgiving.

In our freshman days, when Maui Teriyaki wasn't 20 minutes away from campus, Sloppy Gator was still alive and the football team battled for a chance at the Outback Bowl (ha!), there was nothing we hated more about dorm life than doing laundry.
Right now, the economy is the 10-year-old jerk who lived across the street that ruined every neighborhood game because of his bad attitude.

Ticketmaster may very well be the worst misnomer this side of "Big Ten football." They've mastered nothing.
