Dude, Ed Glaeser is awesome! If only he spoke in the video as fast as he did in my "intro" Ec 1011a lecture, Ph. D students may have learned how to make good economic models for sex (this was on the final, no, really), feel weeded out from the program, and made to think that a great deal of economics was taught when it was mostly just algebra. And Ed Glaeser is still awesome.
And who says this is the "Dismal Science?"
The only thing missing after the lengthy equation was for the janitor to walk into the frame carrying a mop and say: "Yeah, you guys sound like a bunch of bookies!"
;)
To the Econ. guys on at least one thing: when they want to attract women to the program, at least they take the time to put on some clean clothes and a tie, comb their hair and hopefully brush their teeth. In contrast to the computer science guys, who just turn their underwear inside out and hide the faux chain-mail armor and 12-sided dice inside the eight month old pizza boxes under their desks...
;)
Dude, 12-sided dice is not how we roll. Real geeks use d20's. Games, like White Wolf, that use d10's or d12's are for wannabe geeks. Also, the chain mail is real, hand-made using real chain links -- the Harvard Society for Creative Anachronism (subset of HRSFA, the Harvard-Radcliffe Science Fiction Association) is making some chain mail now.
CS people do have 8-month-old pizza boxes, though...
Here's the way it really works. [WARNING: Not for romantics or their children.]
I almost didn't watch the second video, man that was laugh-out-loud funny. Third one is pretty good too.
I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant. - Alan Greenspan
Until I saw the parodies, I thought that was a promotion for an upcoming TV show similar to The Office but based on academic life. The guy on the right even looks like Steve Carell.
