On the surprising side...

Despite the University football program's recent push to create a "Sea of Orange," blue remains the color of preference. In addition, the college student's obsession with AIM was debunked, bringing e-mail into the limelight. And, for all the have-to-have highlights girls out there -- start saving your money, because brunettes steal the show.
