I agree. Lately, I have started to seriously question the Harvard
education....... and it's not Harvard's fault, if you catch my drift :).

In 1994, there was a movie called "With Honors" - with Joe Pesci & Brendan
Fraser.
In the movie, Joe (a homeless, intelligent man) keeps addressing Brendan, a
Harvard man, as 'Hey Harvard' and teaches the uptight Harvard student, the
real life lessons.  A good movie for anyone, but specially for Harvard
grads:).


On another note, from all I'm reading about SDM, my predictions -

SDM will get 5 Oscars: Best Picture, Best Screenplay, Best Music, Best Song,
and the Best Hyped (this is new for Oscars, this time around :)).
