Even though it's Patriot's Day, we still have to eat, so coffee, donuts, bagels, & cream cheese will be served @ 10 a.m. in the lounge. ============================ clip here ================================== Today's prognostication competition: How many times will the large Kodak copier break down before the drinking fountain across from the Physical Sciences Library is repaired ? And now a few words from Paul Callahan (callahan@condor.cs.jhu.edu): > When you've made it through your orals > you want academic laurels > --you want your damn degree! > I would feel so much wiser > --wouldn't hide from my advisor-- > if I had a PhD. > If I had a dissertation > there'd be no humiliation. > I'd say "Doctor, if you please." > [instrumental] > I would publish all my theories > in a twenty two part series, > writing off the printing fees. -4M
