Bing bang, Yale in your ears with two strokes of ladle

Historians are like Pavlov's dogs, when it sees a historical phenomenon bing bang it spit an explanation in two shots spoon. And if ever a rival in the profession has already given the same explanation, no problem, bing bang they'll prove the contrary in less time than it takes to write a doctoral thesis (well, okay, it takes a little time but the result remains the same).

Listing analyzable historical phenomenon: The world will know nothing. Or, in more academic, the penetration rate of university-level education in the general population has been relatively limited.

historical phenomenon bonus: Bev Oda is an exception, since it can measure the satisfaction of Afghans with the services of the Canadian army as best we survey Opinion conducted with Afghans in question .

I am a historian, I'm like a Pavlov's dog when I see a historical phenomenon bing bang I spit an explanation in two shots spoon. I will return to the bonus question, but what is the world who know nothing about, the answer is simple: those who did not know much about academics, it is those who have no university education. And several reasons can prevent access to university education, the most important probably being the financial strain of three years or more to pay tuition rather than receiving wages. To the son of a boss is on holiday, the daughter of the restaurant's customers sweats worse. A di da di vla, vla dlom di di ...

(OK, digress here to tell you the truth (to change): I am a convert. I was once a fan of Macintosh products finished, I was part of the Apple club in my area before the Internet does succeeds, and, more generally, I believe to be superior to the rest of humanity. One day, something terrible happened to me (like I'm tired of being taken for a fool) I 'm converted to the dark side and I denied my past (except the conviction that higher than the rest of humanity suddenly increased). And like any good convert, I became a radical opponent of my old faith. End of digression, which appears here as to why I despise iTunes.)

Now therefore I despise iTunes, but there is "iTunes U". iTunes U is a series of university courses (and not anything: Stanford, MIT, Yale, brief the cream) available as audio or video podcasts. Yup, direct access to course content, as if you attend in person. And the number of courses offered podcasts is growing exponentially each semester. The only catch is that you must install the iTunes software on his computer. But otherwise, everything is free. Everything is free when one has the devil on his side.

And we're back in Ancient Times - in what the ancients had time nobler, when education was done in public and joined the group of students who wanted to. Yep, it is now possible to take classes at Berkeley for free, which is still relatively cheap.

And if it does not increase exponentially just as the penetration rate of university-level education in the general population, evidence of Pavlov's dog, although we find an alternative explanation.

Oh, and for the bonus question is just as easy to explain. There are two possibilities: Either Bev Oda is a Jos Binns, who presented a brief to the Bouchard-Taylor , or gnomes are equipped with extra-sensory perception.

You see that I deserve my doctorate.
