11 CommentsIn John Collins’s metaphysics class:
Collins: You all should come to the philosophy prospective majors open house tonight. There will be a keg, Jager shots, and cake. Due to Phillip Kitcher’s absence, we could probably get away with anything, and of course he still assumes all responsibility.
A TA chimes in: And he has terrible taste in beer.
Collins: Yeah, cause he’s british.
Other TA who is British: HEY!!
A student, who apparently missed the joke, then asked about a drink limit. Collins replied, “Yes, there is a limit on Jager shots, and it is a natural number.”
Seriously, though, class of 2013, get thee to a departmental Open House. You only have a week and a half to figure out the rest of your lives.

@xkcd alt-text As so often, funnier than the comic:
“I hear Steven Levitt is writing a book analyzing A.J. Jacobs’ quest to spend a year reading everything Malcolm Gladwell ever wrote. The audiobook will be narrated by Robert Krulwich of Radiolab.”
