    I wonder if Stormcloud Marie Bear-Heiks can get her MBA posthumously.

    What is truly friightening is the possibilitythat so many 'captains of industry' may be appointed on the basis equally spurious qualifications.


    Perhaps that could explain some of the weirdness that happens !

    Ted: "I wonder if Stormcloud Marie Bear-Heiks can get her MBA posthumously."

    John: I think you've identified a terrific new market, Ted. Posthumous degrees for your loved ones. Hey, if the Mormons can baptize the long-dead without the knowledge or permission of the families,* then why not offer the service of awarding deceased people and animals degrees based on their life (and, perhaps, death) experience.

    Perhaps a degree in Thanatology based upon life/death experience?
    :rolleyes:

    There already is Karma University, which "claimed to award" degrees based on experiences in past lives.

    I suppose the only thing left is to award degrees for future experiences.

    I think Colby looks very studious and hardworking.

    Any cat that can work preparing fast food without surreptitiously eating said food has shown great restraint and should be duly rewarded.

    I also think that delivering undamaged papers without opposing digits and with razor sharp teeth is a skill that should applauded.

    Colby should be given a honourary Harvard doctorate in my opinion.

    I have a dead hamster with a PhD.

    Well technically I don't have the hamster in the tangible sense; it is interred beneath a large tree on the outskirts of Asheville, North Carolina.

    The PhD was awarded before his (or perhaps her) untimely demise apparently brought about by eating a cigarette stub.

    I should have signed the dog up for a DVM.

    Maybe they are just following Yale's Lead. Wasn't it Yale give an Honorary PhD to a mule a few years ago?:D

    Elwood Blues, a mule who carried rocks for the Yale geology team, got an honorary Doctor of Portage Equus degree.

    I seem to recall that the honorary Ph.D. died a well merited death with "Francis the Talking Mule". Or maybe I'm thinking of Bing Crosby and Gonzaga?

    It was Bing Crosby.

    Well, anyway, I can't imagine my cat bothering with an MBA. After all, she's a sixteen and a half pound striped DIETY now; why would she stoop so low?

    Have you thought about finding a good unaccredited seminary that would offer your cat a DFA (Doctor of Feline Autotheism) based entirely on life experience credits?

    Why not go for a DFin (Doctor of Felinity) instead?

    Dr. Kitty

    I like it but as Goedel said when they asked HIM why he didn't seek a doctorate, "Who would examine me?"

    Re: Dr. Kitty

    You mean there are no other cats with a DFA (Doctor of Feline Autotheism) or a DFin (Doctor of Fineness) to examine him?

    Russell: Is your cat volunteering to be doctoral examiner for Nosborne's cat?
