Quote:Fourteen months ago, Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft Inc., visited the University of Texas to encourage students to pursue studies in computer science and related fields. The university will announce today that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has agreed to reinforce that message with a $30 million grant for a computer science complex planned for the heart of campus.

So when is he coming to visit Rice campus?

He could just come visit me. I would give some of the money to Rice. Maybe enough to get my name on a pretty paver near Willy.

Bleh! Better to get one's name on a tap at Valhalla.

Wait, is that an option?

Could it be??

Now that is an option that I bet everyone here could live with.

Hey Emmiesix! What's it cost to endow a Valhalla tap? I was doing laundry last week & found some bucks in OwlJacket's pants pockets... let's make this happen.

Sounds like tall tale #1.

Unless you took away his beer money, that has to be tall tale #2.

* I know. I know. I don't even live in the same city as you and you are sending me to the couch at my house tonight...

EMMIESIX!!! Can I pay a little more and have it be called the "OwlJacket's Pants Pocket Laundry Money Commemorative Tap And Doc Can't Have Any"?
