  • verygoodyear, on 03/03/2009, -5/+48Seriously? What would you actually learn?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beatles

    Done.
  • Yondelldude, on 03/04/2009, -0/+32Yeah, it'll take many a hard day's night.
  • BrettFromTibet, on 03/03/2009, -1/+32And in the end, the love you take is equal to the grades you make
  • Cronikeys, on 03/04/2009, -0/+30You can get by with a little help from your friends.
  • ryan83189, on 03/04/2009, -0/+30I heard you have to work like a dog.
  • inactive, on 03/04/2009, -1/+27This degree will get you far in life

  • capachino, on 03/04/2009, -1/+20just let it be
  • booksnmore4you, on 03/04/2009, -0/+19The degree is actually in The Beatles, Popular Music and Society.
  • pootpoot, on 03/04/2009, -0/+19I can't believe people are burying this. The randomness alone is worth a digg. Hank Hill just sweetens it.

    Yup.
  • ryan83189, on 03/04/2009, -0/+15That far ehh?
  • NextGenXbox, on 03/04/2009, -1/+14Are classes offered eight days a week?
    Is the University located on Penny Lane?
    Does Mother Superior teach there?
    Will this degree be useful when I'm 64?
    When it comes to job hunting, I don't think this degree will be much help.
    Will all the grads come together every few years to bitch about their silly degree?
    Where will this degree be of any worth? Nowhere man.
    The students may as well attempt to earn money as paperback writers. The odds are the same.
    The students will ask, please mr postman, tell me my unemployment check is here!
    And when the taxman comes a knocking, they'll say I sent the check in yesterday.
    I can imagine the parents paying for this... all they'll do is shout!
  • inactive, on 03/04/2009, -0/+13I can tell this degree will be even more popular than jesus christ.
  • doshindude, on 03/04/2009, -1/+14Propane.
  • Trekhawk, on 03/04/2009, -1/+13Not just a degree, but a graduate degree! On behalf of grad students everywhere, I'm going to the bathroom to puke.
  • BlackJackJester, on 03/04/2009, -2/+13wow, finally a degree less relevant and pays less than art history.
  • hd95, on 03/04/2009, -1/+12just the kind of skill set we need in a bad economy!!
  • soccerman90, on 03/04/2009, -1/+11and propane accessories

  • deaconyermouf, on 03/04/2009, -3/+12I swear to God, this better not show up as a "why I love digg" posting.
  • Gguillorn, on 03/04/2009, -2/+10Dude, just let it be, she's had a rough life
  • Chjoma10, on 03/04/2009, -1/+9Maybe Humboldt State will offer a degree in Smoking Pot, it's most beloved son.
  • nigelmansell, on 03/04/2009, -1/+8a degree course from the University of Phoenix
  • ousthouse, on 03/04/2009, -1/+8Ooooooohhhh... well that makes it not worthless.
  • avrygoodfrnd, on 03/04/2009, -2/+9It's a long and winding road to the end, friends...
  • inactive, on 03/04/2009, -1/+8Now bobby, let me tell you about a story about when I was young.
  • paulvq, on 03/04/2009, -2/+9It's Hank Hill. He's always relevant.
  • GreatSunJester, on 03/04/2009, -0/+6should have taken Spanish
  • aftern9ne, on 03/04/2009, -1/+7Credits unlikely to transfer.
  • anaclagon, on 03/04/2009, -0/+6In my life I hope to earn this degree.
  • walrusonion, on 03/04/2009, -1/+7BWAHHHH?
  • IAmTheGuy, on 03/04/2009, -1/+6It is, however, from the Glass Onion.
  • soccerman90, on 03/04/2009, -1/+6YELLING IS A GOOD WAY TO MAKE UP FOR NOT HAVING A VALID ARGUMENT!
  • x2cprincess, on 03/04/2009, -1/+6But if it does then you're at least poised to show up in the screen capture, complete with the standard derisive "this better not show up as a 'why I love Digg' post.

    Predictability results when everyone tries to make their e-penis a *teeny* bit bigger.
  • N837AW, on 03/04/2009, -3/+8Farther than those who take Art History.
  • Sail3, on 08/04/2009, -1/+6Oasis is so overrated!

  • tarbaby10022, on 03/04/2009, -2/+6You'd be the best qualified record store clerk ever.
  • cryemoxkidcry, on 03/04/2009, -2/+6...I thought this was from the Onion at first...
  • GreatSunJester, on 03/04/2009, -0/+4Just how many boxtops do I need to send in to get this degree? Also, is it delivered by Headmaster Tony T. Tiger?
  • TheDHC, on 03/04/2009, -0/+4Judging from your reasoning, perhaps you would benefit from taking a few courses in rhetoric.
  • Cronikeys, on 03/04/2009, -3/+7The Beatles transcend subjectivity.
  • inactive, on 03/04/2009, -1/+4I want a Rutles degree.
