    This isn’t one of those pyramid schemes you’ve heard about. We use a different model - the trapezoid!

      There’s a joke in the industry:

      Q: Whats the first thing an egyptology major says when he graduates?

      A: You want fries with that?

        Back when I was a philosophy grad student there was a joke going around:

        The head of the chemisty department goes to the dean and asks for money to buy some new lab equipment. The dean shakes his head and goes, “No, you are asking too much here. Why can’t you be more like the physics department? All they ask for in their budget is pencil and rubbers… or better yet the philosophy department - all they ask for is pencils!”

              Is this another academia joke? They need to solve their two body problem first!

          Lol, a society economic system with absolutely no respect for knowledge or humanity anything that offers no immediate shareholder value.
