An 'Idol' DUI and an 'Idol' Honors Thesis

Two of the American Idol Top 36 have some interesting news. Via TMZ, Jesse Langseth from Minneapolis is the only ex-con, having been arrested for a DUI and spending 4 days in jail a few years ago. On a lighter note, Anoop Desai wrote a thesis during his undergrad time at the University of North Carolina. It was 60 pages long and the topic was... barbecue.

The table of contents, via Serious Seats, is as follows:
