“…The dean must be hoping for shorter queues and caviar in the canteen,” one user quipped online. I sincerely hope this wasn’t Cecil, who knows German well. ---

I love the statement in the article that immediately upon this happening, the university’s Wikipedia article was updated to reflect that it had no students. ---

I’ve probably said this before, but this is why I would never vote vote for **Marley** for any kind of public office. Sure, he has reason and intelligence, and you might think he’d make a good city councilman. But then that leads to State Congressman. After that He’ll jump to US Senator which is only a stepping stone away from the Presidency. Once he’s President he’ll be sitting in the Oval Office watching _Downton Abbey_ or something (and c’mon **Mr President** , why are you watching that when there’s football on? ) and he’ll pick up the “nuclear football” ( probably out of guilt for watching _Downton Abbey_). He hit’s the wrong button on the thing and BOOM! we’re all banned from planet Earth. So vote against **Marley** in City Council elections next November.
