Ask The Beast column
| Origin | Winter Camp X (1986) |
| The Story | At Winter Camp X, the newspaper debuted a new column, Ask the Beast. Campers were invited to ask the Beast questions on just about any topic from life advice to science and literature. Each question was answered with the sort of irreverence and humor one might expect from the Beast. When Ron Donohue received his doctorate and a resulting change in sobriquet, the column was renamed to Ask Dr. Beast. It has the distinction of being the only column from the newspaper ever to spawn it's own website. askdrbeast.com is part of the Winter Camp Network. It has received sporadic attention over the years since it's founding in 2003 after a six-year stint on wintercamp.com |
| Veracity | True, although the column sometimes took liberties. |
