Part of my job requires that I spend a lot of time talking with university professors. Therefore, I spend time researching universities. Most of them make sense. The University of Michigan is, well the University of Michigan. And on.

However, there is an odd trend of naming universities after faraway places. I suppose that naming a univeristy after Rome, Oxford or Milan would be very interesting. However, this isn't the case. I offer these two as examples:

The Indiana University of Pennsylvania
Miami University . . . in Oxford, Ohio

Why? I ask. I'm sure there's some sort of interesting story behind each one, but that doesn't matter. Why the hell would anyone want to go to Indiana University in Pennsylvania? Why not go to Indiana?

And I feel sorry for the students who admit to going to Miami University.

"Really? Wow! It must be great to live in Miami."

"Well, no. It's in Ohio."

"No, Miami is in Florida."

"True, but not the University. It's in Ohio."

"So you do a lot of drugs, huh?"

Again, the world confuses me. Therefore I'm going to ignore it and try to solve this damn Rubick's Cube.

I've been working on it since 1983. Being red/green color blind doesn't help.
