About a week ago I found out that (supposedly) Shambolina is a real PhD. Of "Maths" no less.
To say the least - I was mildly impressed, having seen my mum go thru getting a PhD I understand what the workload is to get your thesis approved by the uni, presented and then printed.
Then I had a think about it.
Shambone spends a lot of time on this site (I can give regular time-frames), apparently he works as a consultant and has a young family.
Where does all his time go. Particularly for study (he's been a member for 9 odd years don'tcha know).
But there was something else. Niggling at the back of my mind.
And then it hit me. I remembered a young lady getting her doctorate on the same night my mum did.
Her PhD was on "The Impact of The Klingon Lexicon as part of Modern Language".
I. SHIT. YOU. NOT.
So. All due respect to all the people on b3ta who have spent years studying, presented their theses and got a piece of paper. I salute you.
But remember there's someone out there who got theirs by watching Star Trek.

is that Shambles has a PhD in Maths, but because PhDs in Klingon exist, his is somehow worth less?
