So basically, a collection of colleges and schools make a University?
Eh, I dunno.
I believe State has the same thing.
University of Mich State:
College of Arts and Letters
College of Education (School of Ed)
College of Engineering
Nursing
etc.
Maybe it has to do with size and scope of the institution.

You don't know, imagine how it is for us non-natives :(
You should get a formal language institution like us.
We say facultad which is != faculty. That's why I edited the articles of the UBA and the UNLP.
The school of Economics is the FCE, or fase, informally.
Fase ftw! :D
The outstanding faults of the economic society in which we live are its failure to provide for full employment and its arbitrary and inequitable distribution of wealth -- JMK

She looks nice. The ironic thing is she's being used as eye candy for a reason that has little to do with her looks. That being said I do like the glasses.

As they used to say on 7chan; "I would hit it like the angry fist of God, repeatedly and with much vigor."
.... I wish you all could see this. I'm running a seek-and-destroy mission in City of Heroes right now, using a Villains character my friend suggested I make. The warehouse I'm in looks every bit like Freddy Krueger's nightmare world, that industrial factory setting. he's known for pulling people into. SPOOKY.

So she'll be unfunny while giving off the illusion of intellegence by means of a condisending monotone? That's actually a good vice president.

Dick Cheney is the most baddest assed VP in American motherfucking history.
This is proven by the pale, bloodless corpses strewn about Cheney's kitchen that resemble small, foreign children of middle eastern descent.

I forgot how delicious Tang was. Is this stuff considered actual orange juice, or just an orange flavored drink? I'd hate to go and get myself another iced mug of this stuff and wind up ingesting more fiber than I need. Blegh.
*shakes head*
I bought some welding steel and a piece of 1/4" red oak from work last night, I'm planning on making a few knives. I've got an idea of making a fixed blade hunting knife based on the general shape of the Gerber Paraframe I carry. I figure this is a good way to start out before I try making knives with that Damascus steel I was talking about a few pages back.
If anyone has any ideas for a generalized knife shape I could try to make, I'd be willing to listen.

A quick Google search shows it is just an orange drink, so I'll probably go mix up another glass of it. I just thought it odd because the powdered mix actually looks like it contains bits of orange peel in it.
Did anybody ever hear that bit by Bill Hicks about being in England and being asked to be a spokesman for "Orange Drink?"
"I can see it now, 'When I'm not busy ranting and raving about a totalitarian government that seeks to control the population at large via state run media, my throat gets parched. That's when I reach for ORANGE DRINK."

You seem to be on a big Bill Hicks kick lately. Althought in all fairness if mystery science theater was more quotable you'd be getting the same from me.

I just recently discovered his genius, and I can't help but quote the guy.

I can't say that I've ever seen that, but I've heard a few good things about it.
.....
This is something you and Funk will get a kick out of, staff; The American Bladesmith Society's JourneymanSmith Test. It's an actual performance test for apprentice knife makers to show they can make a good quality product. And I found instructions to make a blade to pass the test whilst looking into methods to heat treat blades.
I've always heard stories about knives and swords that were capable of doing such a thing, but... I was always been a bit skeptical about it. I guess truth is stranger than fiction.

*sings*
Shadows grow so long before my eyes
And they're moving across the page
Suddenly the day turns into night
Far away from the city but don't hesitate
'Cause your love just won't wait hey
Ooh baby I love your way every day
Wanna tell you I love your way every day
Wanna be with you night and day
Luff you gaiz. :')

I like my tune better.
So I'm headed door to door
With my grandmother's cookie jar
I'm sellin' cookies, 12 for a dollar
I ring the doorbell, nobody wants any
I resort to goin' cheaper - 2 for a penny
Anybody, everybody, they hate me
I can tell when they spit and degrade me
There's only one house left, the last on the block
Old Man Willie on the hilltop
I ring the doorbell, the door creeps open
And there it was starin' and scopin'
The man's left eye, red, big, and drippin'
I was trippin'. "Ahh, seeya!"
I ran home. I couldn't stop thinking
About his eyeball winking and blinking
And it looked not a damn thing like the other Ugh!
Shoulda wore a patch on the motherf**ker
It hypnotized me, mesmorized me
Traumatized, paralyzed, terrorized me
Creepers, where'd you get that ball
And tell me how it even fits in your skull
I want a big long knife to stick it in.
I wanna lift up the eyelid and kick it in.
He's gotta die. I want his eye buried in my backyard.
It ain't hard, I'm killin' Old Evil Eye!

At one of the lounge room in "Sapphire Princess" I'm sure the pianist's playing tunes from songs by Billy Joel.

Hell no. I got to get in my Moby.
Extreme ways are back again
Extreme places I didn't know
I broke everything new again
Everything that I'd owned
I threw it out the windows, came along
Extreme ways I know
Will part the colors of my sea
Perfect color me
Extreme ways that help me
Help me out late at night
Extreme places I had gone
But never seen any light
Dirty basements, dirty noise
Dirty places coming through
Extreme worlds alone
Did you ever like it planned
I would stand in line for this
There's always room in life for this
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Like it always does, always does
Extreme sounds that told me
They helped me down every night
I didn't have much to say
I didn't give up the light
I closed my eyes and closed myself
And closed my world and never opened
Up to anything
That could get me along
I had to close down everything
I had to close down my mind
Too many things that caught me
Too much can make you blind
I've seen so much in so many places
So many heartaches, so many faces
So many dirty things
You couldn't even believe
I wouldstand in line for this
It's always good in life for this
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Like it always does, always does

Even if you're not into dancing at all you wish you could move the way he did in that movie. You tell yourself it's so you could through some action flick moves around incase a streetfight broke out but really you just admire the dancing.
