He considered ordering it for a while.Once he did, he waited anxiously for the flat pack envelope to arrive. David Smith, a Ball State student, had just ordered drugs online for the first time.
Tarantulas are the heaviest, hairiest, scariest spiders on the planet. They have fangs, claws and barbs. They can regrow body parts and be as big as dinner plates, and the females eat the males after mating.

Two people meet at 3 a.m. in a laundromat — they share a last name and have never met before. As the strangers talk among the whirring and clunking of the washers and dryers, they reveal dark secrets. Out of the three shows this season, director Taylor East said “Third and Oak: The Laundromat” by Marsha Norman is “the most minimal and different, definitely the oddball of the three.” Continuing the all-female Cave Theatre series, the play tells a story that focuses on the personal darkness of being alone.
Despite the muffled shouts and sirens of the volleyball game outside, Ball Gymnasium Room 125 was tranquil. Traditional Chinese guzheng music played off tai chi instructor Junhong Xu’s phone through a small, round speaker. Students stood scattered around the dance room, facing the wall-sized mirror on one side.

The year is 1967. A 2-year-old Mark Racop sits in front of the television, eyes bright as he takes in the action, the music and the color of his favorite show, “Batman.” Adam West, who played Batman, jumps into the Batmobile as the theme song plays in the background.
