<li><p>I just had dinner with Bill Nye (the science guy)</p></li>
<li><p>I'm having dinner with the dean of the ILR school tomorrow</p></li>
<li><p>I'm having lunch on thursday with (once again!) Bill Nye. </p></li>
</ul>
<p>Not bad for my first semester here. This stuff didn't happen at my previous school. Only at a place as wonderful as Cornell.</p>
<p>Care to go a little more into the background of the situation?</p>
<p>mm....bill nye....brings back good memories of science videos in middle school</p>
<p>he's a visiting professor here at Cornell. I was one lucky enough to get to the sign up sheet for the lunch. The dinner was just a general dinner/lecture type thing. Anybody could have showed up, but thankfully people kept things on the down low so it wasnt crowded with people. Everybody got to meet him and have a picture or two!</p>
<p>Bill Nye gave a guest lecture in my nanotechnology class today. It was really cool, and afterwards he took pictures with anyone that wanted one.</p>
<p>His lecture was pretty entertaining as well as informative.</p>
<p>perhaps its already widely known, but just in case...</p>
<p>Bill Nye is a Cornell Alumnus - Class of '77</p>

<p>I didn't know that. NOw I do :D</p>
<p>Whoa that's really cool. Man I really hope I get in as a transfer.</p>
<p>Sideshow Mel from the Simpsons is a Cornell alumnus also.</p>
<p>Sideshow Mel - Frasier - Kelsey Grammar...
Cornell = way cool.</p>
<p>Toni Morrison also went there. She's super cool.
And umm... the guy that did Monty Python's Holy Grail, I think... ugh, what's his name?</p>
<p>John Cleese... like Nye, he's a visiting professor...although unlike Nye he is not an alumnus.</p>
