What is so bad about the wind chill factor? When it's windy the temperature is going to feel colder then it actually is.

At least in California, where they're free range, the imported one's they fly in to New York aren't as fresh.

interesting take on the Vassar story in the tease, but if you read the actual article, it had nothing to do with students being terrorized by deer. as a Vassar alum, i needed to make this correction. the only thing that terrorizes Vassar students are the 20 page papers required even in classes like swimming.
