quote from finance professor:
"In physics, the problems were so complicated. you had problems like: 'You are the pilot of a B2 bomber'- You're like 'oh shit! I don't even know how to fly a plane!'.

"George W. Told The Nation"

2008-01-02T03:37:00.000-05:00

In honor of when Bernie posted about Bush sending more troops to Iraq by posting Tom Paxton's "Lyndon Johnson Told The Nation"...I've been directed to "George W. Told The Nation" by Tom Paxton. It's pretty much the same. Thought I'd share...

Security e-mail of the year

2007-12-19T21:42:00.001-05:00

Dear Students~

Early this morning while on routine patrol in the vicinity of Vassar Lake, one of our Security officers was alarmed by the sound of a man screaming, followed by a loud splash and the sudden flight of geese from the lake. Rushing to the scene, the officer saw nothing but immediately reported the incident to the CRC.

example used by professor in my philosophy class:

My sister will shave her head and join the space program, if the aliens land on her roof. Therefore, she will shave her head and join the space program, if the skies are clear Tuesday, since the aliens will land on the roof if the skies are clear Tuesday.

Shocking development

2007-06-26T14:06:00.000-04:00

According to Wikipedia (and its references), Amadeo Avogadro did NOT discover Avogadro's Number (6.02*10^23); it was discovered by by the Austrian physicist Johann Josef Loschmidt. I am very disappointed. I am ashamed at the nation of Italy.

NPR pun?

2007-06-08T07:19:00.001-04:00

So I was listening to NPR this morning, and they had an interview with Bono. Right afterwards, the local anchor gave the weather, saying, "Hot day for you today." Hot day for U2 day?

New term

Someone who is very wealthy and very stupid (some CEO, for example) should called an incomepoop.

Totally random question

2007-04-15T20:16:00.000-04:00

Anyone know if it was anyone famous who said, "If it weren't for bad luck, we'd have no luck at all?" I always thought it was a baseball manager (Billy Martin or Casey Stengel came to mind), but a search has turned up nothing.

Vassar 1935

2007-04-13T13:46:00.000-04:00

I was doing some research for a paper, and found this jewel in the Vassar Alumnae magazine from 1935, about the rise of radicalism and communism among Vassar students-

STOP PLAYING WITH DOLLS

A male outsider expresses his views

Anonymous

I wasn't asked. I volunteered the information that parlor radicalism at women's colleges annoyed me. Why? Simply because I have become intolerant of those who lead and instigate such movements, as well as those who have been taken in by them.
The leaders, usually: a half-dozen physically unattractive, twenty-year-old girls who seek compensation for their lack of popularity with both men and women by banding together in discussion. . .

On Solitaire

2007-04-08T01:46:00.000-04:00

I just had this idea. When you play Solitaire, you should always call up a friend, and say, "Hey, I'm playing Solitaire, wanna be the other side?" That way, if you lose, your friend wins. It makes sense, because right now, if you lose Solitaire, no one wins, and so it's a total waste. This way, someone gets the pleasure of winning.

Just for the heck of it...
