Tech Nightmare: Inbox Overflowing With Spam And A Super Icky Goo

Tech Nightmare: Inbox Overflowing With Spam And A Super Icky Goo
Glenn Carstens-Peters

It was a regular morning for Ball State University student Jacob Hedlepki, 21, until he opened his email inbox, only to be met with a flood of Bath and Body Works coupons and also a bunch of icky goo.

Gross.

According to Hedlepki, the gloopy glop first started oozing out of the inbox ever so slightly and then began pouring out at a breakneck speed. The goo-sludge was a translucent purplish-brown with a stink smell like old waffles or something.

"It was really so grossy bad," Hedlepki states. It was so grossy bad in fact, that Hedlepki had to step out of his lecture due to the tragic prime time slime time explosion. Said his Psychology professor, Dr. Richard Bards, "The gooey was so soupy soggy. It really became a distraction to the other students." One student added, "At first, it was kind of fun, like the Kids' Choice Awards. But then, it got noopy nasty and I didn't like it no more."

Unsure of what to do, Hedlepki finally decided his best bet was to take the mega mucus machine to the Apple Store. "I had to run to my car while my computer spewed skunk syrup all over the campus. I felt saddy for being the mayor of Sludge Town," Hedlepki said, very saddy.

Four hours later, the entire Genius Bar of the River Hills Apple Store was covered in sour Shrek cream and still at a loss. Said Apple Store employee Riley Carver, "I've worked here for five years but this is the first time I've come across a laptop leaking ucky nasto juice." Carver claimed that the Geniuses tried everything from deleting emails to rebooting the computer, but it only made things worse and the laptop eventually began "goin' goo ga crazy again but this time with big ol' crunchy chunks, too."

Eventually, the moo shoo goo shoo chunk puddle absorbed the laptop within itself, rendering the device useless. Hedlepki left the store with a new Macbook Pro in hand, having had to pay out-of-pocket as Apple clarified that Apple Care does not cover "crispy crusty stick scum problemos."

Hedlepki reports that he has had no goo problems since when opening his inbox, other than still receiving four thousand Bath and Body Works coupons a day.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
