"University" is quite an interesting word... is what I thought today, as I was cleaning up after my lunch. University... it sounds like it should be related to the "universe" in some way - university, universal, universeness, universia, universism, universige etc. I'm glad they didn't pick any of these words though, University is definitely the best out of that lot. Apparently the word comes from the Latin word universitas meaning "the whole". The Whole is a rather "universal" phrase, in the sense that it is related to the word "universe".
Then I thought, could it be that I, by studying at "University", am becoming more in touch with the universe? 'Tis an intriguing thought... considering that most of the time I'm there I feel like I'm in my own world. Maybe university is meant to get you in touch with your own "universe", and by gaining all this extra knowledge you diversify this "universe" with the goal of making it totally self-sufficient so that it can survive in isolation from all the other "universes". So basically university, whether you like it or not, teaches you the art of antisocialism. It is a conspiracy…
On that note, I'm not going to BP tonight so if you're planning on going don't bother looking for me, worrying about me or shedding a tear for me. I will be studying at home, rolling in the dangerous web of antisocialism...

Very true Andy, very true
I think most universities should be renamed "plytechnic". Because it seems to me, that is waht they have become.
What have we become!!!
iumfvi - I, um, fell over, innit?
(a lame excuse, if you ask me)
Perhaps, Doctor, 'the whole' means the whole person, mind body spirit etc, and university addresses all 3. Or all 33.
Or maybe its a typo and university actually means "the Hole"
I guess we'll never know........
BTW, i HATE word verification because i often get it wrong and then i have to type it in again and i feel like a retard
Don't worry Debs you are not a retard. I can tell a retard when I see one. So keep trying, I know you can do it.
