Is it time for IU to buy

Uhh...Yeah... I'm certain the cannibals of Papau still speak highly of you fellows in the part of the world where time seems to stand still...

Most of the rest of the world has moved on but I understand they still "worship" you guys and can't wait for your return...

I heard that there was a small smattering of their language that was only just translated involved in their pur-n-gin-ear ceremony: "next time I hope they bring some hot sauce".
Good grief.
 
Good grief.

Dude, you were the one that used the totally laughable word “worship.”

What do you expect? I mean....the hyperbole is so deep in here right now we are choking. That was just an asinine comment and not even close to the truth.

No, worship is the appropriate word. Among the world’s scientists, Purdue is very highly regarded. I interact with these people every day.

I get it now...

You're one of those "if I just keep repeating it enough that will make it true"...

Good Luck with that.

Don't go away mad, just go away...

I suppose they could be worshipping me for other reasons. My sexual prowess is universally acknowledged, so it might be that alone. However, they frequently mention Purdue as well. Frankly, there are many reasons supporting their collective reverence.
 
Rose-Hulman is a fine institution; however, its reputation is regional. Purdue, on the other hand, is recognized as not just one of the best engineering schools in the country but in the entire world.

Is it third or Fourth in the Big Ten these days?

Unless of course one wants to run a corporation as opposed to an engineering dept.
Well, if your desired career path is corporate governance, an MBA is probably required, and your interdisciplinary degree hardly prepares you more than an engineering degree from a highly ranked undergraduate program like Purdue’s or Rose-Hulman’s.

You clearly know nothing about these programs. Keep that head on the sand Sparky.
 
Do you mean to imply that Purdue and the other Big Ten engineering programs are not so highly ranked? Perhaps you should review a few of the available rankings.

When one's head is buried so deeply in the sand...even simplistic conversations tend to go right over it.

Oh Lord.... sure they worship you. Sure. You have a minion of nerdy lab rats kissing your feet and entranced by your Purdue degree.
Pat - you didn’t happen to once live in this place called “Guyana” did you?
 
You mean at 25 years old?

Dude, you really need to pull up.
So, these 25-year-olds with IU interdisciplinary engineering degrees are well-positioned to conquer the corporate world? That’s your prediction? How conveniently unprovable! I’ll make sure to save this post for the 25 years it will take to be proven wrong.

You fellows are riot!

No, and no one other than a paranoid insecure reader would infer that in my postings. Congrats.

Zooooom.
 
You should consider taking some adult education courses in persuasive writing. It might help you express the points you believe you have made but so clearly have not.

The issue here is not writing. The issue here is reading comprehension.

Not your best day here Sparky. I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are just an angry drunk this fine Sunday evening. Good night Sparky.

“I work with these scientists everyday. I walk in the room, their heads spin. They foam at the mouth. I have a big “P” tattoo on my left butt cheek and when I show it to these nerds, they mount my leg. My sexual prowess is world renowned!”

Thanks for the humor tonight on here.
It was a nice break from the serious stuff. Pat Kline - mechanical engineer by day, Super Purdooman at night.

Well, I tried.

You have not stated your points as eloquently as you have given yourself credit. You should take the next few moments to examine this thread in its entirety so that you may, perhaps, identify the instances where you have failed

I think you might have finally grasped the point.

Come on join the party, dressed to kill.

I'm guessing that was the pu astronaut who didn't know you actually needed an SD card in the Go Pro the other day... (he was also baffled by the flashing light and No SD Card message on the screen...) yep, had to be a pu grad...;):D

Maybe we can have an IU freshman go to the Cape and teach the intricacies of Go Pro Camera operation to them...:D
 
There is something disturbing about judging the academic departments of universities like they are athletic teams.

The only thing that matters in the end is the relationship and impact the programs have on the individual student and society.
