The Crow Knows

For People Who Can Read

The Crow Knows where the good stuff is.

Some things around here take more than seven seconds. We realize this is asking a lot.

Featured Investigation

The “Who’s on First?” Case Has Been Reopened

Crow University investigators reopened the long-dormant St. Louis Wolves case after recovered materials revealed roster irregularities, altered payroll records, and unresolved questions surrounding Lou Costello.

For more than eighty years the public asked: Who’s on first?

Crow University investigators are asking: Who took the money?

Working Papers

We Actually Wrote Some Stuff

Investigations, studies, observations, institutional nonsense, behavioral analysis, and things that took considerably longer to create than anyone reasonably expected.

Some of it is funny. Some of it makes a point. Some of it somehow manages to do both.

This Part Is Surprisingly Serious

You were warned. There are paragraphs.

Crow Seminary

Same campus. Different kind of questionable.

Crow Seminary is located on the Crow University campus. It is CrowU’s kissing cousin: closely related, independently questionable, and very much its own institution.

Ordinations, absolution, titles, and the Doctor of Divinity (D.D.) are offered through Crow Seminary.

Nothing here is implied, unimplied, promised, guaranteed, warranted, certified, notarized, blessed, sanctified, or even mildly suggested.

The Crow Society

The Crow Society is a community of individuals who possess a fondness for Crows, whether it be for the bird itself, a person named CROW, or a member of the Crow Tribal Nation. We extend a lifetime membership to The Crow Society to those who meet any of the aforementioned criteria.

Unfortunately, crows have been subject to negative stereotypes. Some individuals view them as malevolent birds or even as embodiments of evil, much like black cats. As scavengers, Crows have a strong association with death and are often regarded as pests, which has contributed to their unfavorable association with death and fear.

Despite this, Crows are known for their intelligence and boisterousness and have a long-standing history of being linked to the macabre.
