    Okay, when the page first loaded, I thought that pic of Stephen in the cap was Michael Moore. It must be the way he’s sitting or something. Also, I thought it was funny one of the athletes was named “Michael Moore”.

    As a recent college grad (one month ago yesterday) and member of the class of ’08, Stephen’s words are both hilarious and inspiring to me. Especially his virus line :)

    I wish my school could’ve had Stephen speak to us. He certainly would’ve been more entertaining than the pharmaceutical company guy we got instead.
