Jennings had dropped out of school in the tenth grade and felt he owed it to his young son to prove his resolution about the importance of education by finishing high school himself. Be yourself!

Andrewwhyte 1 #9 August 3, 2007 Quote If assessors approve the work, which shows that dust clouds in the solar system are moving in the same direction as the planets, the famous guitarist will finally receive his PhD in August next year. I just assumed that that was true. I guess that's why I am not a scientist. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawrocket 3 #11 August 3, 2007 Yeah, I read about that a few weeks ago. It's kinda neat to think that the guy was on his way before his fame took off. Then he came back to it. He actually wrote a book about the history of the universe that was published last year, I think. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Simplyputsi posted a thread about a forum for those people and he and I messed with them a bit. I can't find the link though.
