Nestles between valleys of the Broadband, far away from traffics of the Highway, lies our beloved university. On all sides line the trees that bear the fruits of knowledge, as if holding hands, swaying to an electronic breeze that cackles. A statue of our great founder guards the front entrance; a puzzled visage greets the world. Behind him a huge fountain sings, in a language seen but not spoken. Through the entrance the main hall welcomes us, its walls lined with portraits of the faculty members, accompanied by Socrates, Einstein, and Mel Gibson. There is a huge board that hangs from the far wall, on it are the rules of our establishments.

It reads: “No passes are required to go to the bathroom” (for Mith)
“No need to enroll, no need to be on time. Only be respectable toward
others.”
“Come late, come naked, but come with an open mind.”
“There are no distinctions between race, age, and most importantly, sex,
provided you share and share alike.”
“Have fun learning!”

I guess Oxford will be shutting down as all of its professors seek positions here.

Hey! It'd be a priviledge to have you as our english prof. You can feed us AND teach us grammar. We use to have a thread that dealt with grammar questions ... but you should start a new one, I be having lots of questions for you prof.

Hmmm...
I'll also take a role as the T.A. for French 101. Groza or CF would both be more advanced in French than me though.

Kakapo it is ...but what does a Kakapo look like?

PP, what are some of the books in our library? (it'd be great if you can describe our library as well, that'll be cool!)

Will DP start a history thread too? And maybe a Dutch language for beginners?
I'd be quite interested in those since Afrikaan is an off-shoot of Dutch and History is just an interest of mine.

"Sprichst du Deutsch?" (informal) or "Sprechen Sie Deutsch?" (Formal) is the correct phrasing

Ja, Ich spreche ein bissen Deutsch, aber nicht sehr gut.

Can I start a modern Greek class?

I'd like to teach potential tourists a couple of words more than "syrtaki", "Zorbas", and "mouzakas" (a dance, a fictional character and a food containing meat, aubergines and cream if you must know). Like how to complain when the taxi drivers takes you on a 20 km ride to cover two blocks of distance, how to reject unwanted advances by random passers-by, how to accept wanted advances by random passers-by, that sort of thing.

(I wonder why the tourist board turned me down for a job .)

Plus that could be a thread whaere the [ symbol] tags got more use than in the math threads. That's gotta be worth something .

I own a shirt that declares babies as good protein and I also spend time plotting the destruction of humanity. And making up good arguments against humanity and just about everything else like the good little nihilist that I am. Yay.
