Registering for classes isn’t fun. It’s stressful: your internet doesn’t work, MusicHum and ArtHum are always full, you’ll never finish your major, you’ll never get into med school, you knew you shouldn’t have left your ex (wait, what?).

That’s why, each semester, Columbia offers some truly funny classes that no one can actually take (except maybe the Butler Marxist) for you to giggle at. While you’re furiously refreshing your browser to start clicking away the millisecond your registration slot begins, took a peek at some of Fall 2009’s gems:
