<p>I realize that most techers don't care about rankings but: <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20228437/site/newsweek/page/0/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20228437/site/newsweek/page/0/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>"Hottest for Science and Engineering
California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, Calif.</p>

<p>Caltech students think of themselves as geeks with power tools. On a beach weekend they may get sand kicked in their faces, but their assailant will soon find his car disassembled and reassembled on top of a lifeguard station, with the engine still running. There are only 900 undergraduates, and admission is very competitive: 17 percent get in. The lucky ones go on to reap the wealth and fame that come to them in an era in which so many of our troubles—global warming, rush-hour traffic, male-pattern baldness—are thought to be solvable if we just give scientists enough money. Even female Teachers say they have fun once they get used to attending one of the last colleges in America where women are still a distinct minority (30 percent). All students look forward to Ditch Day, when automobiles are sometimes found reassembled in side dorm rooms—with the engines still running."</p>

<p>It was nice to see Caltech in the article, but I wish someone had editted better. I doubt the author meant to repeat the car episode</p>

<p>Or say Teachers rather than Techers.</p>

<p>I like how the repeated prank is cars disassembled and reassembled--WITH THE ENGINE STILL RUNNING.</p>
