    Small wonder he got refused a visa...

    Could not remember the topic of his PhD thesis
    Yeah, right.

    That takes the concept of 'absent minded professor' to a whole new level...

    What was the topic of your PhD thesis then, threaded?

    You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

        Who's Mr I - and why did you write a thesis on him?

        Or do you mean magnetic resonance imaging?

          Nan-in, a Japanese master during the Meiji era (1868-1912), received a university professor who came to inquire about Zen.

          Nan-in served tea. He poured his visitor's cup full, and then kept on pouring.

          The professor watched the overflow until he no longer could restrain himself. "It is overfull. No more will go in!"

          "Like this cup," Nan-in said, "you are full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?"

            "Like this bog," Nan-in said, "you are full of sh1t!"

            Does this sound familiar?
            I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.
