AD 2017
The department secretary sent out an e-mail today about the distribution of completion times in my doctoral program this year.
I quote:
"4 students completed in 5 years, 4 in 6 years, 3 in 7 years, and 1 each
in 8, 10, and 14 years."
So based on just this year's distribution, there is a 7% chance I will graduate in AD 2017. By that time:
a)I will be 37 years old
b)The 50th anniversary of the Superbowl will be observed (Superbowl LI)
c)Sealed government documents surrounding John F. Kennedy's assassination will be released.
d)There will be a human colony on the moon with its own university to which I can apply for a faculty position. (The government of China has announced it will start sending probes to the Moon in 2017, resulting in a manned Chinese landing on the moon in a few years.)
e)Events in Billy Joel's "Miami 2017/Seen The Lights Go Out On Broadway" song will take place.
I am already looking forward to space travel. (All information, barring own age, courtesy Wikipedia.)

I just thought...Ram went for Bonobash for 14 years...maybe he was working on a Phd.
Hmm...I noted when re-reading my comment that Bono-bash sounds like some kind vedic Spring Break in the woods. Had a monstrous vision of Lakkhan doing the grind with Surponokha.
whoa...eje besh interesting line of thought! :)
K, I am proud of you. Tor inventiveness and powers of analogy have truly been honed by graduate school.

Obviously I haven't read your blog since October. Nor missed much since January.
I think you're getting better. The Kong review, the piece about Central Calcutta - very good indeed.
One hears you were - or even are - in Cal and dispensing chocolates. Good man.
