962...We R # 346!!! Carleton University That Is

That is number 346th in the world. Sadly the U of Zero, across the Rideau Canal, finished like 222 but we are still ahead of a lot of schools, like all but 345 of them.

The number one school was a college in Boston, Mass, Harvard is its name; Northeastern, another school in Boston, best known for, um, something, was not even on the list.

  1. hahaha, wellll, it just sooo happens that Harvard University is in CAMBRIDGE, Mass NOT Boston!!

    Anyone from Northeastern (which is in Boston, MA. by the way) knows that... ;-)

    Go Huskies!

  2. Thanks for the comment.

    Couple of salient notes:

    1. Go Huskies! Northeastern is not even the best school in the region with that name; UConn, perennial national championship contenders men and women's basketball and now football, are.

    2. I am willing to wager that people who are residents of Cambridge tell folks who aren't from MA that they are from Boston.

  3. Yes, well, the Harvard address is: Cambridge NOT Boston.

    'Go Huskies!' is from DI rowing... UConn isn't even DI for rowing, and therefore don't even go to NCAAs... besides, 'Huskies' is not exactly original since Univ. of Washington in WA state are Huskies too.
