A Social Network

So I mentioned a while back that I watched A Social Network, the film "based" (loosely I would imagine, with several fictional parts created for narrative purposes). I thought it was actually quite entertaining, despite not really being a Facebook user (although I don't see how this would affect my enjoyment of it). Nevertheless, I recommend watching it.

I also went to visit Harvard today which is pretty much equivalent of Oxbridge, (ridiculous) traditions and all. The student tour guide was a rounded student who had managed to find the optimal way to juggle studying, extra-curricular activities and more importantly, partying to the extent that no lifetime regrets were created.

Harvard does come with the prestige of being academically intellectual, but do lack in some basic intellect and common sense. I don't know any other university where

a) They've got a statue of the "founder" John Harvard, when he just donated a large proportion of books (or was it money...I can't remember).
b) They've got the date wrong of when he supposedly "founded" Harvard.
c) This statue isn't even of John Harvard.

Only the Americans could get away with this really.
