Witty Comment Competition

 In the words of Dave Barry, I'M NOT MAKING THIS UP. 

From the University of Cincinnati's "Communiversity" course listing.

Pocket Billiards Revealed
This course will teach you the joy of pocket billiards games as a lifelong recreational and intellectual pursuit. The history of the game and its current professionals are introduced as well as the physics and geometry required to understand its intricacies. "Laboratory" [eff: quotes are thiers, not mine] work covers fundamental and intermediate skills plus a variety of games' rules and strategies.

We always called it "pocket pool," but I guess when it's elevated to acedemic heights, it becomes "billiards."

Nice.  This somewhat reminds me of this student-taught course: http://www.tufts.edu/communications/stories/030207DiscoveringLost.htm.

Anything to play with some balls and a nice big stick, especially if college credit is involved.
