Alcoholism isn't something to celebrate or encourage.

Japanese Farkers, everyone ok?

A friends son attends Finlandia University. That is, for those that ain't familiar with the exquisiteness that is the UP of Michigan, north of Michigan Tech. The only bonus I can see for attending Finlandia is their old window stickers that were " FU". They've gone Lutheran or something and stopped that nonsense. Boo hiss.

Bonus: most of their baseball team is hispanic. The guys are all from the south and didn't have a chance in TX or FL or other heavily fortified baseball states to get into college on a scholarship, and most had never seen snow. Heh.

Can we get a list of the 10 colleges that will help on the way to headline writing more betterer?

Holy Shiark. Here we go. Let me start out the rest of the farkers:

What is the cut off point from a MAJOR earthquake happening to something being labeled as a NEW earthquake? How can they tell it is an aftershock of THAT earthquake?

I read on wikipedia just now that there is math to figure out the length of time for each fault based on movement of said fault. For example, the New Madrid fault that freaks out the Midwest would still be in aftershock mode until next year. 200 years!

We're freaked out about it? Last time I saw geologists talking about it in the paper they were discussing it possibly being completely deactivated and posing little to no risk in the future.

Not that I buy that, but I don't see folks thinking about earthquakes around here much at all much less freaking about it.

BTW, back on topic, what was the justification for a slide show here? A bullet point list would have worked just fine. There was no information conveyed by the snapshots of random buildings and no unique text associated with each slide.

Considering that your choices don't expand any without an actual degree, but your debt burden does, farked is exactly what most of these students in these colleges are anyway.

Uh, things are fine here....

This isn't exactly big news here. Literally, I mean. It didn't make the news (that I saw). Probably there was some local coverage.

That is some really bad RISK strategy right there.

When I was growing up in Missouri we did earthquake drills in school because of the New Madrid fault. Some psychic made a prediction. All very silly.

The history of Texas A&M's football program should land us somewhere on that list.

As a midwesterner who spent 4.5 years in in the Coastal Bend of Texas recently (Corpus), when I saw TAMUK pop up, I immediately thought, "Yep, sounds about right."

Surprised I didn't see TAM-CC or Del Mar on the list.

Subby: English, motherfarker. Do you speak it?

I think that the university = binge drinking culture is more of american origin.

Sure we have parties here ind Denmark, too, but we already got drunk out of our collective gourd back when we were teenagers, so it's not all that attractive when you gotta get up and follow seminars or give presentations.

Give subby a break, he's been huffing.

I think the worst male to female ratio I've ever seen is Full Sail University. I didn't go there but live in Orlando and its pretty much all dudes and a few uglies sprinkled in. There are a handful of babes ( my friend was one ) and she said no one talked to her, just stared ...and her professors gave her As when she knew she deserved at most a C

What. Ever.

/suck it, Yanks

hey, i went there. i was also a drunk before i even enrolled. i hardly ever drank in class though.

ArkAngel: Wisconsin freshmen are happy about their drinking

But they are depressed about how our football team pissed away the best chance we'll ever have to make a NC title game.

dj_bigbird: List fails without Michigan Tech.

/3:1 men to women ratio when I went there
//and that was an improvement

3:1? Hahahahahahahahaha you lucky bastard!

Universidad de Chile Engineering School, mid 90's. First day. I'm in a class of Introductory Physics with about 120 freshmen (first year was about 600-700 freshmen divided in 6 sub-sections. Second year was about 150 students who passed everything, 100 repeating any of the four 1st year Intro (physics|algebra|calculus|compsci) courses, and the rest dropped off during the year or didn't make the cut for repeating. A firm believer in culling the herd, that school) and about 10 are women. 5 of them qualify for "easy on the eyes". The one sitting next to me has a fuller beard than I have at 18. 3:1 ratio? I'd have loved to have that :)

Nowadays it's better, in the rare ocassions where I go back to school, usually to have lunch with a couple of friends who became teachers/researchers, there are even a few head-turners and the ratio looks more like 3:1 or maybe even 2:1. But back in the 90s? You *prayed* for sharp knees.

The Voice of Doom: 6: Franklin Pierce University

How appropriate -- a depressing college named after a depressed President.

Fun fact: All three of Franklin Pierce's died in childhood. The last remaining son died in a train accident right in front of his parents, a few months before Pierce's inauguration as President.

I wouldn't consider any university on that list as much better than a glorified community college. Of course people are going to party more there.

I think one of the things that encourages this is that in the USA the chances that you are moving out from home and going to live at a campus dorm are way higher than in the rest of the world (what with the USA being so farking big). Bunch of teenagers grouped together with relaxed adult supervision => mayhem.

In my country? I don't think there are any campus dorms anywhere in the country, then again, the population of this country is around 16 million, with anywhere between 6-8 million living in the same city. You don't go to a dorm, you stay at your parents' house, and if you are from out of town, you rent something, but there's no "living on campus", ergo less opportunities.

/of course, and as always, I could be full of shiat :)

List is useless without Jacksonville University. A sh*ttier sh*tstained sh*thole you will never find.
