I read this news article earlier:
Researchers: Ohio State lake jump a wee bit of fun
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Intrepid Ohio State University researchers have learned students don't just party in a campus lake during rituals before the annual Michigan game. They also potty there. Thousands of students will jump into Ohio State's Mirror Lake Thursday night, ahead of Saturday's football game between the Buckeyes and Wolverines.
Before, during and after last year's big swim, the College of Earth Sciences monitored the water quality.
Postdoctoral research associate Steve Goldsmith said the lake's temperature went up 3 degrees throughout the night, and the ammonia level surged.
He said body heat could explain the warmer water, but the ammonia likely means one thing: urine.
Goldsmith advises students to have fun, just not open their mouths.
Just makes you wonder... :-)

I'm thinking that if Tony ever knew about this sort of tradition (and what an ODD tradition it is! WTF are these kids ON? LOL!), he'd crinkle his nose in such a Tony fashion. He'd be horrified.
I wonder what he'd do if he read that article in the middle of the bullpen...
Or McGee put it up on the plasma...
"I didn't swallow... I didn't swallow.... I didn't--" Tony quickly dived towards Gibbs' desk and grabbed the ever present cup of coffee and downed it in one gulp. The others looked on in horror.
I'm not sure whether Tony would be horrified or proud to have been part of this kind of, erm, tradition. LOL!
Though I gotta say, I love the idea of McGee finding the article and putting it up on the plasma. Hilarity ensues.
Hmm.
