Heh, I'd rather make the world happy than haveacalc. Ah, Model Congress, that was a relatively fun endeavor.

That would be a perfect opportunity for you to form one, wouldn't it? You should try and see if you can; I know I enjoyed being part of the debate club.

I just meant that if North Korea's gonna try to blow up the world with nukes, right now is the most convenient time for me. 
Besides, I feel kinda safe. Who wants to blow up Kansas?

No, you didn't. I challenge that statement!

Let's move to my first area of analysis and review how the debate club earned me academic prestige...
You're currently in Cooper Union; a college no one heard about until you told us it was a top college

The keywords are "whose highest degree is a bachelor's or master's:" almost all of the major engineering schools offer doctorates.

Exactly; we didn't know about it untill you told us about it & its standing on US News
Oh, and the electrical engineering is actually second in the nation:

http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/rankings/brief/enns06_brief.php
That's because it's a specialty school; so it's #2 for an electronics engineering specialty school (in other words it's not ranked against general colleges; but it's still a good college)
(in other words it's not ranked against general colleges; but it's still a good college)
That is incorrect. It has every type of engineering. Its electrical engineering department is ranked second of all undergraduate EE departments in the nation.
That is incorrect.

Specialty schools are ranked separate from general colleges; so it's not #2 for the EE department in the nation.

Not at all. Look, it's not that hard:
Cooper Union Engineering School: 3rd in nation
Cooper Union Enginnering School - Electrical Engineering Dept: 2nd in nation
Here's your link:

And here's mine:
http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/rankings/brief/eng_brief.php
(3rd for unranked specialty colleges)
So we're both right...and we're both wrong...it all depends on what categories we're looking at.

It says that because we also have art and architecture schools, which are (as far as I know) unranked.
mebby we could develop the technology to launch a missle that follows the nuclear missile and nets it, requiring no pilot, except the one that might shoot the missle, and the net EMP's any detonating device (I dunno if that would really work) which would then parachute down to any pre planned nuke catching ship or something. it could happen....
First of all... NO NECRO POSTING
second of all...
We already have technology to shoot them down (its kinda like a giant ray gun, but cooler =P )

Any fool can use a computer. Many do.

Actually his was borderline OK, because it actually added something (albeit just a little)

his idea was a net to catch them so they don't explode. Because blowing up a nuke in the sky is just as bad, if not worse, than blowing one up on the ground
