		<description><![CDATA[Do we really need a study to tell us that most experienced drivers would fail their written tests if forced to take it again? Probably not. In fact, just last night I parked my car in what I considered to be a respectable distance from a fire hydrant, but my friend was convinced that the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a professor, it&#8217;s probably hard to make certain topics interesting and engaging for students. One such topic? The application of Platonic and Hegelian ethics to business. Stifle that yawn. What if this lecture included strippers who gave lap dances to willing students as the professor taught?
