A great example of the cool stuff going on at Cornell...

<p>AWESOME I want to go for Computer Science :)</p>

<p>He substitute taught my CS/ENGRI 172 class last Monday....and he teaches CS280 (Discrete Structures, I believe), so he actually does teach. And he does seem like a real genius in person as well...</p>

<p>Oh and he's a Cornell grad ('93).</p>

<p>Man. I wanna meet this Genius guy. I so hope I get in as a transfer.</p>

<p>that's great for him, but i'm still looking out for Bill Nye!</p>

<p>Bill Nye is quite possibly the best known cornell alum if you think about it. bill nye or john stewart</p>

<p>i thought john stewart went to william and mary</p>

<p>Sparty,</p>

<p>I think you're thinking of Bill Maher...</p>

<p>as for most famous (infamous) I'd vote for Annie Coulter (former Delta Gamma Sorority Girl)</p>

<p>or perhaps Janet Reno, Sandy Berger, or Ruth Bader Ginsberg...</p>
