Wasn't it the LSU student who did the statistical study for the FS website?

So many attempts have been identified which seemed to "doctor up" or otherwise "enhance" various sorts of data (e.g, enrollment figures, salaries, other) that I have no idea which data set you are talking about here. Lots of things seem to have been washed over in a strange sort of way. Tell us. Don't make us guess.

PBN, I believe this question about data is specifically for the older board members who remember the Fire Shelby days and the poster "Iddad" who never seemed to make it over to the AAUP board. My guess about this one is above.

I agree with Truth - it was the LSU student's statistical study.

Here's my question for FS Trivial Pursuit: what was the name of the graduate student in the famous H'burg American photo who was thrown out of a USM basketball game in March for holding up a SFT protest sign?

CORRECT, Swan Song and T4USM - think it was actually LSU Graduate Student, but that's close enough. As first winner, Truth gets to ask the next question (and already did) so now I have to put my thinking cap on and play - Truth will determine the winner - see, won't this be fun?!

I guess it is really my turn again anyway - you have to answer a question correctly in order to ask a question.

2 point question...

Who has an african grey and what does it do to upbeat music?

Date: Jul 20, 2004

As I try to remember this one - did it occur in April, I'm also hoping the African Grey has been trained to defecate on certain individuals in certain newspapers that might line the cage!!! THis is a JOKE, folks. Levity. Smile. Grin.

Haven't seen hide nor hair of him....what is the fate of Mrs. Cooley? Wasn't she last seen in somewhere on campus? Isn't she "in the family way?"

Very good Stickler and Riddler. First one back gets to ask a question - Swan Song, you get to ask one too for your confirmation above.

What was subject of the first FireShelby thread to move to a second page of postings?

Date: Jul 21, 2004

As the bird's owner - I didn't participate. But, watch out for me now. This is one great challenge of a question.

I know that I'm right and since I have adult onset ADD and don't have time for confirmation let me ask my question.

By what nickname was Shelby known and bothered in his earlier life?

Date: Jul 21, 2004

waffle

Nice assist by removed student but Googler has it. Googler gets to ask a question.

Broom Hilda, it really is proper form to wait until I return from dinner - ADD or not! That said, it is nice to see you back - it has indeed been a long time!

Date: Jul 21, 2004

What is Shelby's personal favorite current nickname?

(too easy, I fear)

Date: Jul 21, 2004

I'm a afraid an accurate answer would be sacreligious.
