  1. Thesis: unicycles suit academics.
    Proof: It can be clearly seen in figures 1 and 2 shown below. The
    research is still in progress and data is being gathered.

    -Fig. 2: Chasing knowledge-

    I want to make this a game. What you need to participate:
    1) An academic gown
    2) A unicycle
    3) A camera
    You can replicate the already done studies or come up with original
    ones.

    Also, if anyone has any novel ideas, but for some reason cannot conduct
    a study on them, post them here and I'll test your hypotheses and
    publish the results.

    I remember hearing his story, its the same guy who went across the US
    on giraffe uni and went on to do some greater charity type things. A
    few years later he was drafted and killed in the war I believe. I very
    vaguely remember the story.

  7. So, is anyone going to post any pictures or cool ideas? I want to make
    the most of this gown while I've still got it.

    And it's a shame about that guy being killed in a war. Riding across
    the US on a giraffe is something note-worthy, at least in my books.

    UNIcycles and UNIversity are perfectly complemented. The perfect
    on-campus tranportation.

  14. This is moving a bit too slow, so I'll post another one.

    -Fig. 3: Academic Unispin-

    Edit: and I like those old graduation pictures. I wish I could do the
    same, but my school would probably crucify me for it.

    Tom: I almost gave an old lady a heart attack just by riding in the
    street once; she actually stopped in her tracks, gasped and crossed
    herself. And I was wearing casual clothes, too. I don't even want to
    think what would happen if I flashed her.

    The carnation is very important, white for your first exam, pink for
    middle exams and red for your final exam. That way people know who to
    trash when they leave exam schools.🙂
