Precursor: I think you're all incredibly intelligent people.


but....

I was surprised by the number of fancy degrees.

I'm wondering where did everyone go to school and for what?



As per usual, I'll start the bidding low with:

    NO post secondary education whatsoever. Bramalea S.S. grad from 19 . . .
    but that would end the mystery, wouldn't it.

    Yes - I'm older than I think
    No - I did not do anything whatsoever with the degree in any capacity whatsoever

    I thought I'd be the next Einstein or Hawking, turned out I was just the next Homer Simpson :)

    Too funny. If I had wanted to go to UW we would have been in the same class.

    heheh - well, for your first impression of me - instead of thinking to yourself...
    "Who's that drunk donk at Eric's calling my raise with AJo and hitting an A on the river?!?!?" in 2007
    it would have been:
    "Who's that drunk dork in the back of the class asleep and drooling on his notes in Dr. Hemming's Electricity & Magnetism class at 8:00 am?!?!' in 1989

    Ahhhh...some things never change :)

    Thats what Im thinking about OISE stats 2001, a statistical odyssey! I hated that course with a passion.

    I slept through stats 201, but man if I would have known then what I know now.
