This really cracked me up. I was flipping through my TextTV (not sure of this is available overseas), and I came across this news. A quick translation: One of Stockholm universitys oldest insitutions has today been put under new management. The dean of Stockholm university has fired the entire board of this institution for failing to come up with a plan to solve the insititutions financial problems. Here is the funny part - which instutition is this?

Of course it is the one instutition in the entire university dedicated to m-o-n-e-y! They also have courses in financial planning, business, economy, bookeping. They really should be the one institution in the entire university capable of knowing how to  make a plan to get some money! Don't you think? When I read that part I was ROTFLMAO (Rolling on the floor laughing my ass off).  If it had been any other institution like maybe northern languages or science or teaching, non of them could be expected to know stuff about money, but this one?!

What this news has to say about the distance between actually knowing stuff and being able to do something with that knowledge and being in the business of educating about the very same stuff is very sad.
