why pay more $29.52 when you could pay less $17.73 play Out&About [If you could be any animal, what would you be and why?] "Manatee. I could just swim around and hug people all day long. They are the cutest, dumbest animals in the sea. They are called the sea cow, you know." —Tom Cox, Shawnee graduate student "The Kentucky Derby winner. They have the perfect life. First, they work hard for three years while getting whatever they want from trainers who cater to them 'round-the-clock. Then, they get sold off to a stud farm to have sex with the best mares money can buy—must be rough trying to break Wilt (Chamberlain)'s record." Brvce Davin, Pine Top, Arizona, senior "Squirrel. Their brain always seems like it's going a hundred miles an hour. They aren't the smartest animals, but they have a lot of energy just like me." — Angie Nigro, Kansas City, Kansas, freshman "Dolphin. It would be awesome to get to play in the water all day. Plus, Flipper was sweet, so why not!" — Caitlin Jones, Maize senior "Sperm whale. They can eat anything in the ocean, which would be nice, and they have the biggest brain." — Devin Lowell, Concordia, Kansas, junior "Dragon. Who doesn't want to breathe fire?" Bryan Thelen, Shawnee freshman "Kakapoo. I think they are extinct, but they are so lazy they forget to fly. They are so chubby and just so cute." — Hahna Curtin, Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, freshman "Bird. I think it'd be fun to fly." — Molly Thurman, Lawrence sophomore "Grizzly bear. It would be awesome to hibernate all winter and they get mad respect. Plus, they are all cuddly but they have those big claws. Pretty lethal combo, man." Sean Tokarz, Wichita sophomore 12 — Kristopher McDonald, who would be a miniature dog, because who wouldn't want to be able to roll over and have a giant hand immediately rub your belly? April 9,2009
