<p>I think you should all read this: List</a> of colleges and universities named after people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</p>
<p>I just did o.o</p>
<p>it's very informative, you know. and just face it, when will you ever be so interested in colleges as to read such boring and useless historical information? :D</p>
<p>for example, did you know brown was NOT named after the color? :O</p>
<p>did you really read the whole thing??
i’m only interested in “Harvard University, Massachusetts, USA John Harvard Young clergyman whose bequest of £780, was (in 1639) the first principal donation to the new institution, his gift assured its continued operation.”</p>
<p>Ezra Cornell certainly looks like a man that knows how to take charge. <em>starry eyes</em></p>
<p>^ his beard is scary as well…</p>
<p>Actually, being on academic quiz team, it’s a positive for me to read lists like this.</p>
<p>I read a list on things longer than an exasecond, and there were questions about it today!</p>
<p>Aw, don’t be like that neonseri. You know Ezra is smexy.</p>
<p>^</p>
<p>O_O</p>
<p>smexy to me is JFK</p>
<p>^JFK looks squeaky clean (even though he was anything but). There’s no air of ruggedness or mystique. Beards = a simple way to be a simply EPIC individual.</p>
<p>beard… but bin laden has one… </p>
<p>lol</p>
<p>^Shhh, that’s not the comparison we’re striving for here. :D</p>
<p>And Ulysses Grant had one, but he still gets to be on the $50 bill. So they can’t be that bad.</p>
<p>^I beg to differ: the Macaulay Honors College at Hunter College in the City University of New York sounds far more prestigious. ;)</p>
<p>And I’m totally not trying to promote my school here.</p>
<p>^^
what a mouthful…</p>
<p>^I’m still wondering how it’ll fit on my resume in 4 years, but I’ll cross that bridge when I get there. :)</p>
<p>And yes, Handala92, it is absurdly long. One more reason to love it.</p>
<p>@ Millancad, things longer than an exasecond? Couldn’t have been a long list, the universe hasn’t even been around for half an exosecond. The only things I can think of being longer than an exasecond are half-lives of certain isotopes.</p>
<p>@TYiL: It wasn’t very long. There were like 5 half-lives, and then theoretical stuff that won’t happen for forever. Like the development of Boltzmann Brains (which I don’t understand at all), the time at which all protons will have decayed (if they decay), when there will be no more stars in the universe, and the time for something that sounds like the Big Crunch to me.</p>
<p>I like long stuff. Mostly because I would rather never die.</p>
<p>^ protons theoretically decay into a neutral pion and an anti-electron. I don’t get Boltzmann brains either…</p>
<p>i feel so out of place here… ive never taken physics before. although, ive read tons of books about the theory of relativity… :D</p>
<p>Brain…hurts…</p>
<p>^</p>
<p>my trigeminocervical nucleus are causing my head to hurt… the physics talk here is causing noxious stimulation of the endings of the nerves that synapse on my trigeminocervical nucleus…</p>
<p>^ Alright Mister Science, that’s enough of your big words. Save it for Harvard! ;)</p>
