In college we had a professor that taught a series (of 6?) database classes and Oracle was the relational database of choice.  You learned all of the useful skills like normilazing your data to Nth normal form, etc.  Anyway, he said that if you could make it through all (6?) he'd buy each student a beer. True his word our last class was at New Deck Tavern.

It is.  My first time at White Dog was when I had my offer acceptance dinner to my job.  My last time there was when schmoopie and I ate there while Mom was in the hospital at UPenn.  20 year span and its still as good.  (I don't believe I ever had a burger there)

If a Hindu is recommending a burger, you know it's good...

Dr. Hassell.  Easily my favorite professor.  Tough, no B.S., and a ton of knowledge to give.

 

If a paco is recommending an educator, you know they are good...

  i had to study youtube videos before driving in ireland a few years ago...roundabouts all over the place & approaching them from the left was so unnatural.

Try doing it when you're 19yo like I did.  Went on family trip to Ireland years ago with my dad and sister and she wasn't old enough to drive.  My dad and I took turns.  They are mental over there on the roads.  They will pass you on a curve or on an incline where you can't see who is down the road in the other lane.
