I found out the other day that doctoral students receive a top hat and a sword when they graduate. 



Envy.  I wish they had that over here with the swords.

Really?
Had that been the case in Katy, Tx., I would've bothered showing up for my ceremony back in '90.

I'd've had a jolly time stabbing my principal.
I think a lot of us would've.

I wonder if they throw their swords up in the air afterwards. That could get messy.

I think they tried it in texas for a while. The first black to receive a doctorate was shot 47 times within 5 seconds by a cop who was quoted as saying "UH feeered fur muh lahf!" and acquitted of all charges.

They actually should try that here.
Give kids something tangible to strive for instead of a fruity tassel to go with something they're embarrassed to wear.

Ok,  playing on your idea what could we give graduates?

How about a gold plated lantern, a symbol of the light of knowledge in the darkness of  ignorance?

Or how about something less symbolic and more useful? If you earn a significant degree in america,  and i'm serious, maybe yiu get one guaranteed low interest government backed loan to do with as you  please.

And yes you could use it to pay off your student debt at once and repay the loan at special low interest rates instead of the vigorish that the governments ng charges on scholarships.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
