Most expensive holiday? I marvel at the lack of imagination. I know a lot of fun ways I could have alternatively spent the $125,000. God, I can't even afford a Virgin Galactic flight for that.

It's a fairly accurate summary of British University, for many anyway.<p>And yeah in the UK it's cheap. I graduated with about £15k of low interest debt, and my parents probably spent another £10k

This is probably the most inane and anti-intellectual thing I've read in a while.

Anti-intellectual. I'm not sure it's mocking intellect, the Shakespear, Aristotle comment seems to be mocking false erudition and pretense that sometimes characterises graduates. University does not necessarily make people intellectual.<p>The sex and poo? Crude I'll admit, none the less demonstrating the meaninglessness of taboos through directly challenging them. These people may be horny little pooers but at least they don't take everything for granted.
