Congratulations!

 

Congratulations on your second doctoral degree.

 

Woo hoo!:dance:

 

Wow. Congratulations Rich. I am STILL working on my first one..LOL

 

10 thousand posts! Wow. Good job on your new doctoral degree. That is great. Most people would stop at the first one.

Abner :smile:

 

It had been a year since my last post. Hence, the link to a great Twilight Zone episode. I may add the occasional assertion here and there as we go forward.

 

Congrat DR - DR ... or Doctor Squared !

 

In Germany, I'm made to understand, a person with two doctorates might indeed be listed as 'Dr. Dr. So-and-so.'

Interestingly (to me), it is illegal in Germany for non-physicians to use the title 'Dr.' unless the doctorate comes from either a German university, a university in the EU, or a U.S. university on the Carnegie lists of 'high' or 'very high' research activity. Union is listed as a research university, but not on those two lists. I guess Leicester makes me legal in Germany. Great. I always wanted to be big there.

 

Google says: Your client has issued a malformed or illegal request. That’s all we know.

 

Yes, it seems that a company in Riyahd want to talk with you about termites. They're gone now.

 

50% of the time I have no idea what you people are talking about.

 

Well, Rich was referring to a spam post in the thread. It was an ad, written in Arabic, for an extermination company in Riyahd. I was responding to Rich's comment. It is all a bit difficult to follow because the original spammy post has been removed. All that's left is the shadow of the post, the portion that is quoted in Rich's post. See, nothing to it.

 

LOL, that explains it!!

 

Hi, Rich! You are now the second person on this very board to have a quintuple digit post count. Congrats on becoming a double doc!

 

Rich, I just got re-accepted to an online master's in history from WNMU. Wish me luck with that. After I succeed at that, I think I am going to go for Union's PHD in Humanities & Culture ... wish me luck with becoming the fourth Union doc on the boards

 

Fourth? My memory ain't what it used to be. Who is the third, besides Steve and me?

 

The use of Dr. Dr. is also the case in Austria.

However Austrians are way less anal about the source of the degree, as long as it is legitimate you can have at it.

 

Tony Maranto (spelling?) who earned a PhD in Biology/Environmental Science/something like that who wrote his dissertation on carcinogens in Chesapeake Bay shellfish and i believe he grasduated in or around 1987.

 

Congrats on making it into the 10,000 club ... i promise i won't do anything terrible to you like force you to become a mod or giving you a roast thread if you don't want top do eityher
