• Acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. The greater the mass (of the object being accelerated) the greater the amount of force needed (to accelerate the object). (Paradise Circus - Massive Attack)

New NEW Hosts of Moynihan's Trivia: George & Dawson

George Arno and Dawson Ingersoll began hosting trivia together at the beginning of the Spring Semester 2015 at Clark University. They first met on the green where a timid yet confident George approached the scrawny ginger surrounded by multiple females and an aroma that combined beauty with hints of hookah. Since that blessed day they have been acquaintances ever since (Dawson never wanted to be a friend because he had a friend once and it went too fast too quickly).

Pictured Above: A Horny Dawson

Dawson is a wild child from California yet at the same time has proven to be the tannest ginger in all of humanity. You may find him throwing down some tasty tunes in the ROCU studio or outside of Moynihan's pulling people into trivia by playing the "Whoa is me I have red hair" card. Dawson's magical powers include being able to seduce women with his bunny and above all else being able to blind people with the beauty of his hair. 

Pictured Above: Worst Male Model of the Year Candidate

George hasn't changed much over the years, as you can tell from his amazing good looks from above. Diet Mountain Dew consumption has lead to significant health issues for George including: the inability to grow a mustache, a bad sense of humor, and a huge ego. All that being said he is still an alright guy (judges scored him 6/10). You may find him throwing a frisbee when there isn't a mount of snow on the green or whispering sweet nothings into Freud's ears. Never turn your back on George, for if you do you may or may not get your elbow licked.
