If a virgen ever graduates from __University, the Penis Tower will fall down.

We aren't always fun, but usually we're accurate. And if we don't work for the government, the bias isn't usually that bad. I was told when I began my road to a history degree that I'd be able to use it to either teach history or tell stories at pubs and parties.
At least they were half true...

borg: The best part about being a tour guide is making shiat up.

That's what I was thinking. When I was touring schools I asked tour guides specific questions to see if they would bullshiat me or admit they didn't know.

"This is a nice painting of an old man, why is it here?"

Agrees.

Man I haven't thought about Easters in years. Used to be quite the event.

"They have very vivid imaginations," ...He's good with words. When I describe a progressives I normally just say "they're full of shiat".

For real?

Next thing you'll be telling me that these tour guides make stuff up.

When I tour, I appreciate the wit and energy of the tour guides as they make stuff up.

This guy must be a hoot at parties!

Ha!

And then the "un" un-nazified the University... FOREVER!!!

A tour guide on Mackinac Island gave a very similar story about the natural land arch on the island involving the indians that lived there. He also claimed the indians thought the island was a giant sleeping turtle.

I imagine if I could meet one of long ago natives to Mackinac, that he would just say yeah that arch thing is just something we throw stuff through for fun. Then he would tell they decided to prank the French when they showed up by telling the "turtle story".

/for those that don't know the French visited the island first
//the french are why people pronounce the "c" at the end of Mackinac like a "w".
///i don't, i pronounce the "k" sound at the end, don't care about the French

So, UVa was not the center of the underground railway?

@nadie_az Charlottesville is actually a very liberal part of the state, surrounded by the rest of the right wing freaks.

There is no pay wall. Some articles require registration. email etc. nothing more.

I guess not... but it's still where the Manhattan project started, right?

7 years of college... down the drain!

No Road Trip references yet?

At the University of MD they say the same thing, except that it's that it's the statue of Tetsudo that will sprout wings and fly

I wasn't sure if you realized this, but this isn't Twitter.

It totally sucks. It doesn't even make anyone pay anything! That's a crappy pay wall.

My mother who was there in the 70's would dispute the last one. Streaking was definitely popular before the 80's.

My favorite college tour guide story: When my alma mater built a new library the students lined up to pass all of the books, fire brigade style, between the old and new buildings.

vygramul: Nadie_AZ: Eh. It's Virginia. Have you seen the laws their passing? Who needs history and facts n stuff?

The state's nutcase Republican Attorney General tried to subpoena Mann's climate change emails and research materials. UVA told him to fark off and won in court.

Yeah, why would we want transparency from the studies performed by scientists that influence political views? I mean, it's not like if he were wrong, we'd find ourselves spending billions on nothing, right?

And really, why all the sociopolitical poking about Virginia in a thread about the University of Virginia? Hey, UVa is on the planet Earth, and you know, humans are prone to violence, like murder and war. Man, that stuff sucks and is 100% related to the topic of the article, right? Right?

/Tired of idiots trying to hijack threads.
//Get back on topic people.

My college actually had/has a couple of dead people entombed inside the administrative building. In a special little room. At Halloween you can win a raffle and spend the night in the tomb. Not a legend. Been in there.

/the part about how he tries to talk from inside is probably not true though
//This guy

One thing, however, is undeniably true, George. You're dead.

Florida Southern College, right?

Ha! No, but I find it hilarious that I'm not the only one who's heard that story.
