You might be a millionaire and not even feel it (http://www.heraldnet.com/stories/07/03/25/100bus_rich001.cfm). Many people are worth $1 million, but that doesn’t mean they’re living like Thurston Howell III before he got to the island. Usually it just means they own a nice house.
It so happens that we here are about to become millionaires. We’re just waiting on instructions from a wealthy Nigerian who needs a little help getting to America.
Jeb Bush was denied an honorary degree by the University of Florida (http://www.heraldnet.com/stories/07/03/25/100wir_a10bush001.cfm).
Some may think it’s a political thing, but it’s really very simple. If you want an honorary degree, you’ve got to go to honorary class and turn in your honorary term papers on time. You can’t spend all your time playing honorary Frisbee in the Quad.
India’s top technology institute has cut off Internet access in dorms after 11:30 p.m. (http://www.heraldnet.com/stories/07/03/25/100bus_technotes001.cfm, down the page a bit). Professors say students have been showing up bleary-eyed for class after goofing around on their computers at night. They want students to socialize instead.
Maybe India is different, but if American college students were told to socialize more and given nothing to do after 11:30, they’d find other reasons to be sleepy the next day.
