Coyotes At Columbia!

Coyotes have made their way to Columbia University's Morningside campus. Over the past week, one has been spotted roaming around Central Park... but now they are multiplying and possibly prepping for a takeover after getting an Ivy League education! Columbia Public Safety reported the sightings of the three coyotes, observed in front of Lewisohn Hall this morning—at which point 911 was called and the NYPD responded. They're all still at large, but the one they did manage to spot "went behind the CEPSR build and it is believed he exited the campus." Ergo, no one is safe. If you are in the area, you are advised not to approach the wascally guys and report them immediately, narcs.

Columbia must have a lot of garbage if they are roaming around

Hey, has anybody noticed this recent and annoying phenomenon of people not pronouncing the last "e" syllable in "coyote" and instead saying "CAI-YOHTS"?

"Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Wile E. Coyote, Super Genius," he said to the Dean of Admissions.

Oh, to see the look on the NYPD officers' faces when they realized they were chasing a coyote. We shouldn't be chasing off the coyotes - they eat squirrels and pigeons. An admirable behavior!
