The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

At Polytechnic I did Electrical Engineering. No languages, no English class, no pottery, painting, ice skating or wine-tasting. Math and engineering only. I've sometimes been amazed at the lack of knowledge of Electrical Engineers with master's degrees from prestigious US universities. Different expectations.

I'd expect that from any type of Tech Institute. Well rounded liberal arts educations give people something to think about while they are doing work drudgery. :) As one friend told me, "Gave me something to think about while plowing the north forty." Unfortunately, you end up with classes in Wicca, or something even more valuable - The History of Rock and Roll! As told by Chuck Berry to Keef Richardson and Paul McCartney.

Quiz:
How old was the girl Jerry Lee Lewis married that got him in trouble with the Brits and shut down his tour?

How old was the girl Chuck Berry crossed state lines with and sent him to jail?

What year did Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul, and Mary get tossed into jail for exposing himself to two young girl fans and asking for sex?

What rock stars with initials JP and DB were known to have sex with very young girls?

Anyone can answer, if they wish.
