GREATEST COLLEGE COURSE EVER?!

[RBJ13]

I think I may have just gotten back from the greatest college course (in my humble opinion): Modern Weapons and International Relations. First class lesson today: Gatling vs. Samurai - Gatling wins, handily. Watching 20 mins of the Last Samurai is a great way to start a semester!

It has to deal with how technological advancements of weapons has steered the course of international political institutions. I know it's nothing like that p0rnography studies class at that one college, but hey, it's exactly what I want to study!! If only I could declare Modern Weapons and Firearms as a Major!!!

This should be a good spring!

I'm pretty sure my Mountaineering and Marksmanship class was the greatest ever. We didn't read about guns we, we shot .22lr for a grade. And to satisfy the mountaineering aspect, we rappelled off our parking garage a few times.

Seriously though, that sounds like a really cool class that you're taking.

Touche, CopperWires

I took a Trap and Skeet shooting class back in 2004. Now that was a cool gym credit.

Nuclear War and Weapons, only a half credit though.

Wow I'm jealous, that is awesome. Yeah too bad it couldn't somehow be made into a major as well.

You know what they say about the definition of "International Relations". ... One country screwing another....

I took scuba in college even though I was already certified. It was a great refresher, and an easy way to take care of those pesky gym credits. I also did bowling and racketball

My fiance was going to take a walking class when she was in college. Until she realized that there was a Water Safety class that she could take which would earn her a promotion/raise at her summer life-guarding job.

So did you walk to class? If yes, was the instructor impressed at out-of-class work?...

And people wonder why college degrees cost so much. Are you guys still paying interest on the loans for these classes?

No extra credit for walking to class.

Bastard teacher didnt even give me credit for being on the track team!

Although I DO find some of this funny, I also find it greatly disturbing.
