Cross out the part about grad school simply because I havent'
been there (yet?) but otherwise I could have written that
statement.  I wholeheartedly agree.

I'm only half-joking when I frequently say that everything I
learned in school was somehow related to the ducks.  :)


P.S.  In addition to the incidents I mentioned earlier, I
remembered another time I brought a duck comic to school.  I
took a year of Latin in college for fun(!) and when we had to
translate part of the myth about the Minotaur and the Labrynth I
brought Barks' story to class to show my professor.  ;)
