<p>"The University of Chicago has long been known for Nobel Prizes, but if the organizers of a new website have their way, the school will soon elevate its sexual reputation.</p>

<p>As CBS 2’s Mike Puccinelli reports, a group of University of Chicago students have created a website called UChicagoHookups.com.</p>

<p>The site offers students a chance to spice things up on campus by helping them hook up with other students for casual sexual encounters.</p>

<p>The site also carries the motto ‘Where Fun Comes To Thrive,’ a play on the school’s unofficial motto.</p>

<p>‘This is known as the place where fun comes to die,’ said Jon Clindaniel of Palatine, a junior archaeology major.</p>

<p>That will change if the students behind this website have their way. The site advertises: ‘Chastity is curable if detected early…’"</p>

<li>We don’t have an archaeology major! That guy is in NELC! PSSSH.</li>
<li>My house has taken to ■■■■■■■■ this site really hard. You’ll notice that some posts sound exactly like Disney princesses. That was us. Next quarter–presidents!</li>

<p>Grindr for nerds?</p>

<p>Because it’s psychologically healthy to have large numbers of sexual encounters with different people with no emotional involvement!</p>

<p>Psychologically healthy has yet to be defined.</p>

<p>Pretty much everyone on campus has heard of it. I have a feeling that like, 20 people actually use it. Might as well just go to a frat party if you want to hook up.</p>

<p>Apparently this website is all over the news, even in the British media.</p>

<p>Yupp, this website is basically ■■■■■. It’s very fun to go onto the live chat and say “Hi, I’m a girl” and see the number of private chats that you get…</p>
