The Vikings lost against the Packers early tonight/yesterday and boy did it ruin my day. With that in mind I move on to more pressing issues.
So evidently the Thai Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej has been ordered to resign after being found guilty of violating the constitution after he went on a cooking show. How embarrassing is that? I just found that funny.
The real meat of this post though involves the folks at Forbes. Forbes is currently in extremely dubious standing with me right now as they rank the University of Minnesota as the 524th best college in America out of 569. That's right folks...Millsaps College is 400 spots better! Besides the dubious ranking methods I am incredulous as why my degree is worth so little. That said I really wanted to talk about the Forbes ranking of Best Cities for Singles.
They came out with a new list and Minneapolis is tied at 3rd with Dallas for best cities for singles. I would argue that there is no "best city" for singles because when you're single you are going to feel like shit and if you are dating someone you can live in Butte, Montana or New York, New York and you'll feel good about yourself. It is definitely worth noting that they list Atlanta as the number one city to be single in which in itself should be a warning sign.
Insert self-deprecating joke about being single in the number 3 city.

It's dumb to rank colleges on just absolute terms like that. I mean, with the University of Minnesota, you have several different colleges and with hundreds of degree programs and majors. People always quote "The UofM has the #2 school in the nation for such and such degree!" when talking about how excited they are about their major.
ReplyDeleteI mean, how does that stack up against podunk college #716 which teaches only science about pig slaughtering, but their program is the best pig slaughtering program in the country?
