One of our incoming grad students just mailed me this.  BTW, his other
choices were California schools.

  Starting this fall I'll be in the Computer Science PHD program at:

  HHH HHH    AA     RRRR VVV VVV  AA     RRRR  DDDD
   H   H    A  A   R    R V   V  A  A   R    R D   D
   H   H   A    A  R    R V   V A    A  R    R D    D
   HHHHH   AAAAAA  RRRRR  V   V AAAAAA  RRRRR  D    D
   H   H   A    A  R R    V   V A    A  R R    D    D
   H   H   A    A  R  R    V V  A    A  R  R   D   D
  HHH HHH AAA  AAA RR  RR   V  AAA  AAA RR  RR DDDD

  Why? Here are eight reasons.

  7] Harvard motto, "Veritas," translated from latin to Russian is "Pravda."

  6] I'll be able to laugh at undergraduates who pay $21,000 for
     something I'll get paid to do.

  5] I'll be enjoying Chowda when "the big one" hits California.

  4] If it's good enough for the Unabomber, it's good enough for me.

  3] The sun arrives three hours earlier than at UCLA or Stanford.
     (Sun is overvalued anyway, just ask any investor.)

  2] The local accent is more like Mayor Quimby's and less like Bill
  and Ted's.

  1] If Bill Gates dropped out they must be doing something right.

  0] DeVry and ITT don't have PHD programs.
