Patriot University. P.U.

Hmmmm.

I have little problem with these diploma mills. After all, they help keep idiots from disrupting legitimate, science classes.

And, they produce clowns for our amusement.

You know what I think I'll do? I think I'll found the University of Dave, enroll, earn my PhD, and call myself Doctor. Consider the advantages of the U of D:

* It's the only institute of higher learning within practical travel distance of my home.

* It's affordable -- much more so than P.U. or any other diploma mill.

* I can work at my own pace.

* It's accredited (by the Chicken Girl College Guide).

* Best of all, it will demand that I meet certain standards of excellence before it awards me a PhD -- namely, that I read certain materials and type up a final dissertation of a certain length.

There, you see? My PhD is just as legitimate as Hovind's. Go me.

I should buy doctorates for my young children. Then I can rightfully claim that they are as educated as Dr. Dino.

Pre-schools and kindergartens often give out little diplomas to their wee graduates. Trust me, they represent a higher level of education than PU doctorates.

Is that where Johnathon Sarfati got his Ph.D too?

gallo · 05-28-2003, 09:40 AM

In his biography at AIG the only institution of learning mentioned is Victoria University of Wellington. It says he has a B.Sc. in Chemistry and a Ph.D. in Spectroscopy. I think that Sarfati himself would consider P.U. to be below him.

I can assure you that he has no degree from By Bayou U. Although I might consider him for one. After all, Helen Fryman (Setterfield) got her degree in Trans-sonic Trubidity for her thesis on the origin of the Green River Formation as being nothing but turbidity layers.
