Considering the fact that Urbana, Ill. has traditionally played host to a very large Christian youth conference held by Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, I find that all the more amusing.
I've known quite a few people who've gone to that - I never thought to look but maybe the next time I see some of the them I'll check for red eyes and a lack of genitals (or maybe I'll just shoot them with a .45 to see if they bleed green).
