Mid-life crisis meets minivan.
Top Gear made a convertible Espace:

Those 3 guys make the 3 Stooges look like 3 Einstein's.
The little one crashes all the time. He's written off multi-million dollar supercars and was in a coma for a few weeks when he crashed a jet powered drag car. So yes.Quote:

Lastly there is the ones that are awarded posthumously You will never know if you received one of them.Quote:

Let me see what is on the back of your degree. um maybe you should let this one age a few years or include a transcript with it. He walked away more than a little embarrassed.
Two of my favorite doctoral dramas:
1. The Bogdanov Affair: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogdanov_affair
2. An American cultural icon who plagiarized his doctoral dissertation at Boston University, from another student who had graduated three years earlier. He had also committed plagiarism various other times in his academic writings and his speeches. When the plagiarism was discovered, Boston University refused to revoke his doctorate.
His name? Martin Luther King, Jr: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin...horship_issues
OOPs, I think of another alleged documented and ignored example of plagiarism this time for a law degree, supposedly he fooled 80 million people.Quote:
