A new university study found that animals are surprisingly similar to human males. Researchers discovered that male antelopes will “lie” to females by pretending there are Lions nearby in order to keep them from wandering off and having sex with other male antelopes. The study was conducted at our own MSU!
- The male antelopes were also known to light couches on fire after big football games. (Just kidding…)
- The study further showed that gay male antelopes liked to take the females shopping and really listened to them when they talked about their boyfriend troubles.

- Why would KFC want to promote something that will help their customers, “Kick the Bucket”?
