World's Oldest University found in Egypt

[Bradius]

I just came across an interesting tidbit. Archaeologists discovered the remains of what appears to be a 5th century 5,000 student University in Alexandria. This would make it the oldest University found to date.

No doubt the clue was the skeleton of a student in the back of the lecture hall that never woke up! Scribbled notes next to him translated said "So boring...loosing the will to live..."

Do you think they'd admit me to the university? :rolleyes:

I think the clue was the stacks of Smack Ramen found in the dorms that are still edible. Not that Smack Ramen is really edible mind you.

*nudge* My brother will eat anything! (snails...rattlesnakes...etc.) So don't underestimate human appetites. ;)

And I'll take that as a no. They won't let me in. ;)

Rattlesnakes and snails you say?

Well, the normal person would give up, but I am going to trump this.

I ate two cans of canned spinach.

Rest assured, even Smack Ramen sounds like a feast compared to canned spinach!

[Elvenwarrior2001]

Well I'll top that. I had a spinach salad tonight for dinner. :p Just spinich and...uh, dressing. And there might have been a little something else, but that was about. ;)

Strangely enough, I got some spam today offering diplomas from this university.

There are no required tests, classes, books, or interviews!

No staff either. ;)

Oooh! Exactly how I like it! I'm homeschooled! I get my books and I teach myself. Hehe. So no staff needed. ;)
