I saw that in yesterdays paper. Struck me that it is (or should be) a vocational course.

I don't know whether this is true or just urban legend but I heard that one of the Cornish universities offering Surfing as a degree sufferred a ridiculous drop out rate after the first year because all the 'dudes' that thought it was a dream degree couldn't do the complex mathematics involved in fluid/wave dynamics classes.

Makes you wonder how those surfer dudes manage at all, considering the basic Navier-Stokes equations of fluid dynamics still hold many mysteries, such as the existence and smoothness problem

You can just imaging what kind of dude this Ian character might be. You could probably score a bit of weed off him.

Now if they started a "sleeping in bed" course I might stand a chance of getting a degree.

Doesn't it depend on whether it's your own or not?
