Watching TOW the Girl From Poughkeepsie yesterday, and Chandler says to Rachel something like :

You graduated Magnacome Loudie, right?

What on earth does that mean?

Intergalactic82Jan 5, 2001, 1:11 PM ET↩ Paul Hyett

Magna cum Laude is Latin for "with great honors." Cum Laude is Latin for "with honors" and Summa cum Laude is Latin for "with highest honors."

On Fri, 5 Jan 2001, Intergalactic82 stated this considered view. Waking from my doze, I hastily scrawled -

I thought 'cum' meant something very different altogether though! :)

No, "cum" means "combined with". If you are referring to ejaculation, or the ejaculate, that should be spelt "come".

You know Tennant....always ready to give an explanation..... He should be a teacher. I can see it now:

student:  "Mr. Stuart! Mr. Stuart! I have to go to the bathroom! May I
                 please be excused?"
Tennant: "Urinating is an important part of the day. It's something we
                 as humans can not do without. And we should never pass up
                 the oppertunity to go to the lavatory. Many of the worlds most
                 important businessdeals are discussed there. It's something
                 that happens automatically. There was never an art to it, but
                 some people think that the ancient Mayans did more with it
                 than others......"
student:  "Mr. Stuart.....never mind. I don't have to go anymore, but I do
                 need some clean underwear. May I go home now?"

Sorry Tennant......I couldn't let it go again. :-)

Actually, it would be more like...

student: "Mr. Stuart! Mr. Stuart! I have to go to the bathroom! May I please be excused?"

Tennant: Tsk tsk, not now! Why didn't you put your hand up earlier?

student: I did, but it trickled through my fingers.

I've actually had a teacher like that once. He was so boring, that I stopped going to his classes. And that's how I failed math. :-)

I'm just really glad he's a good sport about it. There have been people here (I think some of them still lurk) that just couldn't take a joke.

I loved teachers that would tend to ramble off topic, and encouraged them to do so as much as possible. However as a teacher myself, (of adults who have been paid a lot of money to learn), I'm very to the point actually.

Teaching what you teach, you have to be to the point. It's serious stuff. I don't think the teachers at a medical academy would take a break to tell a joke or anything.

not so wierd now! So if you work as an aircraft technition teacher person, Do I have you to thank for safe airways? hey! do you think they could make an aeroplane that could fly low down?

Thank me, and many other thousands of engineers.

The Russians are developing a plane that flies just above the waves, but that's for economy - it's a mistake to think that height equals danger.

The higher you are the safer you are. There's less to hit, you are above the weather, you have a lot more time to take emergency action, and your altitude is a source of energy in itself. Don't forget that driving down the motorway is like continuously falling off a thousand foot cliff.

okay then Thank you Tennant and thousands of other engineers!

really?

so it is, you know you've made me a lot less scared of heights now, in a wierd way... :)
