The Quinnipiac Barnacle is a parody newspaper at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Connecticut.[1] The newspaper currently publishes weekly articles and one print edition each school semester.[2]
History
[edit]While the official website of The Quinnipiac Barnacle states humorously that it was started in 1964 by former Quinnipiac University President John Lahey,[3] it was actually started on November 5, 2012, by juniors Shane Collins and William Vessio as a parody news website.[4] The website received popularity and press on-campus, as well as strong negative feedback. In Fall 2013, The Barnacle became an officially recognized organization on the Quinnipiac campus[5] and came out with its first print edition on September 4, 2013.
The Barnacle used to have a web video series called BarnacleTV, and currently runs a bi-weekly news program called The Barncast[6] that airs during the school year.
Controversy
[edit]An unofficial newspaper on the Quinnipiac campus, The Quad News, published a negative article about The Barnacle on November 11, 2012.[7] Shortly after, The Barnacle published a satirical response to the article titled "Quad News Staff Tries to Draw a Line."[8]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
