Heh...apparently not enough true credits there to get it a decent ranking in research. Makes one wonder, eh? So how about...patents? http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/com/speeches/05-18.htm According to the (obviously biased) US Patent Office, UT only ranks below UC (combined campuses), CalTech and MIT in Patents. Where the h*ll is rice? I'm just speechless...well, not really ... like totally responsible for all these civilization changing technologies and they don't even know how to patent any of them? Hey...did Gore go to rice? I wonder how many Americans know where rice is.
Hmmm, then that must be one of Rice's satellite campuses...like UT's UTEP, UTD, UTB, UTSA, UTA, UT Pan Am, UT Permian, UT Tyler, UT Medical Ctr Dallas, UT HSC Houston, UT Medical Galveston, UT HSC San Antonio, UT MD Anderson, UT HC Tyler ...
Sam, you might want to take that up with the Nobel Prize committee. They awarded Rice's Smalley with the Prize for his work. Tears. A very weak effort on your part, Sam. Very weak. State school weak.
Cohen - let this be a lesson to you not to post while drunk. I'm quoting this email so others will be able to view it after you edit things up in the morn. Patents! Good humor indeed! Rice envy at its finest!
That's too funny. Are those Rice debate tactics? Respond to a continuously decreasing percentage of points raised until all you have left is 'you are drunk, sir!'. I'll give you some credit though...I can tell that you comprehend when you've been totally pwned. And even though it quivers in the shadow of the grand Texas institutions, I really do like Rice. Such a nice, quaint little college. Every State should have at least one.
I heard from a good source that you should not post while drunk, your reading comprehension may falter. Sam said they ALL shared the Nobel, which they did. Must be tiny school weak.
