After I saw the same wrong answer a dozen times or so, I started to feel "I already told you this is not right!" Bizarre, huh?
Thanks Ann, but I have not reached the professor level yet. I am still a couple of years away from getting my PhD. For the time being I am but a lowly TA/Grad Student.

And by the way Suffolk Shippers, my undergraduate experience was pretty much one big party too. But working on a PhD is a different can of worms.

Hey, don't you have to wait 7 years to get a Sabbatical from this board?! Maybe we'll grant you a very short leave of absence, but I do hope it's short.

Good luck with everything.
