"Crow thinks, therefore crow is"...?

...hang on, are you calling me a hooded crow as some sort of oblique reference to the white hairs that are gradually appearing in my otherwise glorious flapping barnet?
(LongJohnBaldry, Wed 14 Jul 2010, 13:47, Reply)

It might make sense with "to be" in
so: cornix esse cogitas, ergo cornix esse es


but it's meant to be "You think [you] are a crow, therefore [you] are a crow"
Trying to take off cogito ergo sum is harder than it looks.

Or is "hooded" another oblique reference?

I was actually trying to out-pedant you on the latin
As the carrion crow (typical everyday crow in this part of the world and my favourite type) is Corvus corone corone whereas the less common hooded crow is the sub-species Corvus corone cornix, hence when you said "cornix" I thought you might have got the wrong type of crow.

(Although if cornix is simply how it varies due to the case it's in then I humbly apologise and go back to quietly gluing feathers to my person)

Apparently "corvus" has the alternative meaning of "one who sucks someone off", as well as meaning a raven

++BUMDER ALERT. BUMDER ALERT. A BUMDER HAS BEEN DETETCED WHO IS SO ASTONISHINGLY BUMDERISH THAT HIS BUMDERISM HAS PROPAGATED THROUGHOUT TIME AND SPACE IN AN UNPARALLELED ACT OF TARDIS-LIKE BUMDERISM (I.E., IT FEELS BIGGER ONCE IT'S ON THE INSIDE THAN IT LOOKS WHEN IT'S OUTSIDE). THIS BUMDER'S EXTRAORDINARY FEAT OF BUMDERISM HAS CAUSED LIMP RIPPLES TO MINCE BACK THROUGH TIME AND CORRUPT THE DEFINITIONS OF WORDS THAT YOU PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT WERE HARMLESS (FOR EXAMPLE, PRIOR TO THIS EVENT, I'M FAIRLY SURE "BUMDER" WAS A TYPE OF TRACTOR OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT).

THIS GIVES HIM THE POWER TO SODOMISE YOU ANYWHERE AND AT ANY TIME. EVEN IF YOU THINK YOU'VE HAD YOUR ARSE PROTECTED FOR YOUR WHOLE LIFE, YOU CANNOT BE TOO CAREFUL. ALL PATRONS OF THIS BOARD, PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE ARE ADVISED TO GO BACK IN TIME AND ENSURE THEIR INFANT SELF KNOWS TO TIE A RADIATOR OVER THEIR NIPSY FOR THEIR WHOLE LIFE FOR FEAR OF THE BUMDER SPONTANEOUSLY WINKING INTO EXISTENCE BEHIND THEM AT ANY POINT IN TIME.

NATURALLY FOXTROT AND POSSIBLY BOOBYPIRATES NEED NOT WORRY AS THEY'RE GOING TO BE BUMDERS ANYWAY SO THEY MAY AS WELL GET USED TO IT.

According to Lewis and Short, "cornix" is a crow and "corvus" a raven.

You know what I find stupid?
You do a doctorate here, in England, and it doesn't matter what the doctorate is about (Engineering, chemistry, physics, maths... anything) You get a paper saying you are a Doctor in Philosophy. Really? Isn't that silly?
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Wed 14 Jul 2010, 13:37, Reply)

No, it's not.
Well, it's not really a matter of silliness or not, it's the rules. Doctor of Science (DSc) is a different degree, and is awarded as an honorary qualification to those with epic research reputations. EngD (Doctor of Engineering) is a newer doctorate, but is supposed to be 50/50 academic research and industrial experience.

It used to be that way with undergrad degrees. Still is at Oxford last time I looked, you graduate with a BA even if you do science.

Incidentally, where else in the world is a doctorate not a PhD? I know you get Eur Ing in front of your name if you do an engineenering PhD in some european countries, but it's still a PhD, isn't it?
