Ahh, so that's what going mad feels like.

:p

My experience was nothing like that. When I went mad I swam in a lake of whiskey.

I didn't call that going mad. I called that university.

(The drinking age here is only 18, so it was legit too)

I don't know whether they're spoofing bad, or just bad.

It's a variation of a quote from a Douglas Adams book.

You guys call college "university"?

[comhcinc]

yes they do.

College is either senior highschool or a technical trade school (sometimes also called "tech").

You get an undergrad, grad, or post grad degree at a University - or more colloquially as "Uni". Its a "colonial" thing - Australia, New Zealand, T&T, and even (I believe) Canada follow the UK naming.

In the U.S. the distinction between a University and a College is clear. A University is a collection of schools, colleges or other universities. I work for a College that is part of a larger university. I got my Ph.D. from the graduate school of a university that was part of a larger university. Colleges don't normally offer graduate degrees because you need a separate graduate school. I think it's an accreditation thing. A University can be organized with a college or arts and sciences, a school of engineering, medical school, law school and graduate school. It's just a political organization. Like the difference between a village, town and a city.

wait i thought a college grant two year degrees and an university grant four year degrees

A junior college offers two year degrees. The requirements for the "university" label probably arn't too hard to meet for any four year school. Many State "colleges" offer 4-year degrees, but almost all state "colleges" are part of a large collection of state schools that is a University.

CUNY has both four-year and two-year colleges.

If you attend school, you are in a college. It doesn't matter if the banner says "university". All degrees are conferred by the college you attend, not the larger university. My Ph.D. was conferred by the graduate college of the University at Albany, State University of New York.

MC Prager has got to be better than DJ iPogue (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vniMR6Ez9cE).

I always thought the difference was that universities got respect.

Not all Universities...

If you attend school, you're attending a college. That college may be part of a larger University.

There are plenty of mere colleges that are steeped in respect.

Tomato/Tomoto?

[vahnx]

Hmm, I noticed David Randolph (the new Systm guy) in the credits for lighting :D

[popltree2]

Tomato/Tomoto?

Not to be a smart ass (or to state the obvious) but i think it is Trinidad and Tobago.

Also, this video offends all of my senses save smell. But if I could smell it, I am pretty sure it would offend that as well. This video should be subject to the seventh circle of internet Hell.

i thought we were already there.

No, I was reffering to the different ways people say "tomato". Maybe it's a Maryland thing...

[comhcinc]

everyone saids tomato. the only time you hear the word "tomoto" is in that stupid saying.
