Assuming I do a PhD, where should I go?

You've Gotta love it

Every now and then, i see something in America which quite frankly leaves me speechless and wondering if this great continent can get any more bizarre, A few weeks back it was watching the David Letterman show when he had some "invited guests" showing off some stupid stunts. One guy was able to kick himself in the head 30 times in 30 seconds, the next drank a glass of beer through his nose and the final used a blow gun and mousetrap to eat a piece of cheese! (Yeah, dont ask how he did it!). This week, however, America has surpassed herself.
Walking down University Mall, the main boulevard through campus, Axe Shower Gell Company had several lorry loads of paraphenalia set up to promote their new product under the slogan "the dirtier you are, the cleaner you can get!". With that in mind, they made people strip down to their boxers, sit in a bath and be covered in gunk-like-stuff reminiscent of Mr Blobby and Noel's House Party, and then roll down a grassy bank being sprayed with more gunk by a scantly clad blonde chav with a IQ of a goldfish. From this, they are then given a free shower using the new gel in a specially kitted out, glass walled lorry body! It was all very stupid and very pointless. They even had a cop on standby to "supervise" the place - what a day he had!

In good news today, the dollar hit another amazing low against the pound. £1 now buys $2.104 dollars and subsequently my rent and everything else i buy is getting cheaper and cheaper! Its fantastic! If it gets much higher, im gonna have to consider buying another guitar! Wouldnt that be a shame!
