UC Santa Cruz, has as one of their sports mascots, the banana slugs.. the are really gross, and discourage early morning walks in the woods (as did the report of fresh pather tracks and spoor!) Give me nice paved concrete any day!

(do a homemade movie!) they also sell brain shaped jello molds, for halloween or other scary parties.
