As a slimmer version of Craig’s List, our beloved NNB has been the mouthpiece for student organizations, campus events, the lost and found, and random requests. We’ve found some of the NNB’s submissions to be of noteworthy praise, wit, and concern: How did those insects get into somebody’s mailbox? What could “Mathematical Models of Rock Deformation” be about? The following is a collection of some of the best, weirdest, only-at-Carleton NNB ads from this term.
