Dec 7th

Dec. 7, 1941 7:55 AM Pear Harbor was attacked. It's also the anniversary of my PhD thesis defense. A date I specifically chose because of its significance.

longlake12, believe me when I say that getting a PhD, especially in the science field, is more like joining a fraternity or sorority than suddenly being endowed with unlimited knowledge. If you can get an undergraduate degree, get into graduate school and have a bit of perseverance....anyone warm body can get a PhD.

Got one myself (but not in a science). In my case, it seems to be a license for pedantry. My apologies.
