Clearly they weren't physics majors.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Two math majors at Reed College lost control of a massive snowball that rolled into a dorm, knocking in part of a bedroom wall.
No one was injured.

The students began making the snowball last week during a rare snowstorm in Portland, Ore.

Nobody weighed the object, but college spokesman Kevin Myers says it was estimated to weigh 800 pounds or more.

The students responsible for the runaway snowball reported the incident and have not been disciplined. Myers says they didn’t intend to cause damage and feel awful about what happened.

A maintenance manager told Reed Magazine it will cost several thousand dollars to repair the building.

Pharoah Brown got suspended for the Alamo Bowl. The two "math majors" apparently are getting no punishment from the school. I mean, when your parents are paying $30k/year for private school, you don't actually expect your students to know that rolling an 800 lb. snowball toward a dorm would be a bad idea, right?

What a police state. Every mistake must be punished, say the bullies who rule the legal system.

What an idiotic post. If they were black, the snowball would have been beaten up by them before they rolled it down the hill. :MARIS61:

I might be one of the few on this board who understood that.

I feel sick now.

Lol. Me and my friends have an ongoing "just two bros" joke about another one of our friends and his "roommate".

Everybody knew what it meant. We're all not 14 years-old mentally, though.
