Oh, those kooky kids over at N.Y.U. When they're not dealing drugs or running out of condoms, they're setting fires in their dorm rooms! Which is why you might have seen shivering, loitering N.Y.U. idiots crowding University Place last night.

Marc, who refused to give his last name, said he and his roommate were burning old credit card receipts that had his card number on them.

"I guess it's not the smartest thing," he said, adding he doesn't own a shredder.

Marc said he left the trash can once the fire seemed to be put out and went down the hall to watch the television show "24."

His fellow students reacted the only way that generation knows how:

CAS freshman Abe Katz said students waiting outside in the cold had their own theories about the cause of the fire. "Rumor has it that is was a toaster," he said. Katz created a Facebook group shortly after the incident called "I love Room 312 because they make us go outside in the cold"

We started our own Facebook group shortly after reading this called "$33,420 a year cannot buy a fucking clue."
