I thought the funniest line was Bart's, after Lisa reads something about the mound-dwellers worshipping turtles and whatnot. "Thank God we wised up and started worshipping a carpenter who lived 2000 years ago."

If the 'X' is for "Christ", shouldn't that be "Xianity"? 'Cuz otherwise, that parses out to "Christtianity", which almost has "tit" in the middle, but not quite.

troglodyte mode n. [Rice University] Programming with the lights turned off, sunglasses on, and the terminal inverted (black on white) because you've been up for so many days straight that your eyes hurt (see raster burn). Loud music blaring from a stereo stacked in the corner is optional but recommended. See larval stage, hack mode.

BTW: What ya'll just witnessed, was a Eastfield College (Dallas County Community College District)/UofH graduate/dropout showing a Rice University something something.

That's not supposed to happen. Rice University is one of the finest Universities in this country, there is a HIGH level of intellegence over there (which, btw, happens to be the closest University to where I live. I would say "College", but there's a HCCCD branch closer. HBU is a close second in distance (but it's not a major University anyway.))

Just so there's no misunderstanding, I'm *certainly* not talking about the Baker Institute (which also resides alongside of the intellegence at Rice U.)
