Both my parents were philosophy majors. And look at how they turned out.

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be digging my own hole into.  I keep getting called a troll, but if that's so, I've got nothing to fear by being called a troll except... being called a troll again.  I mean, really... what's the worst that could happen?  Eventually everyone involved will get bored of it and move on.

I tried to add size tags inside all the quotes, but quote tags seems to act similarly to code or pre tags.  I'll look at doing it in plain text with attribution links on each line, perhaps.

I've made a total of four posts at the Cellar: the opening, two replies to someone suggesting that I read up on the history, and a closing.  I'm not trying to start shit with anybody, believe it or not.

Through me the way to the city of woe, Through me the way to everlasting pain, Through me the way among the lost.
Justice moved my maker on high.
Divine power made me, Wisdom supreme, and Primal love.
Before me nothing was but things eternal, and eternal I endure.
Abandon all hope, you who enter here.

I can actually think of four members who are grad students or, were, or will be very soon, off the top of my head.  Most of the rest have either gone to University, are still attending or have the equivalent level of intelligence to have gone, other circumstances permitting.

I didn't say it was wrong -- I've spent my time in rooms of grad students.  Just funny.

I know, it's hard to imagine grad students having personalities or being dicks.  :?

I dunno man, due to sheer coincidence most of my friends are either grad students or postgrads (there is a grad student and a rather well-known PhD on my couch right now watching a movie) and they all have personalities and take some delight in being dicks from time to time.

You seem to be reading something into my post that wasn't there.  I wasn't commenting on your response, I was commenting on the general turn of subject in the thread.

Well, I'm one of the 4 or whatever.  And why thank you, yes, I am quite funny.

I think it might be five, actually.  You, Kai, Nigel (IIRC), zen_magick and me.  There are probably at least one or two I have forgotten, though.

Edit: Jenne as well, I think.

I took the scenic route approach to Grad School.  Started in 98 and didn't finish my Master's Thesis (they call it a Capstone at Muskie) until 2006.  Though, since I started the project in 2001 it says I graduated in 2001 on the diploma.  Which is cool because I don't really want to have to go into the whole song and dance with potential employers of why it took me 8 years to get my degree.

I don't blame you.  Potential employers were pissy enough towards me about the gaps inbetween work when I was studying full time.
