Blackroses, if you read down the first initial of each school, it spells out Harvey Mudd Rox Boo Cal Tech. I love some of the choices of schools for the initials, that is what I meant for "interesting."

Blackroses, wait for it to load. Then look at the Top 25 Schools box. Note that Harvey Mudd College is #1, with something over two million votes.

Then, look down the list, at the first letters of the colleges' names.
#1 Harvey Mudd
#2 A....
#3 R....
#4 V....

Not content with taking over the top slot, they've taken over the entire board. I think they're still discussing what to spell that will take up the full 25 slots. Having a B in the phrase is very important to some of them. When I say "discussing" ... They have a listserv dedicated to the coordination of this prank.

Mudders play hard!

My son didn't find most of the girls very interesting at his high school, but now (judging from the Facebook photos) spends a lot of his time in the company of several smart, fun-loving, interesting young ladies. Mudd's Women are different.

I think the problem is the link isn't working for me. :/
There is no 25 top schools list on the page.

I get redirected to VS PINK::Welcome.

I'll google it though..

^ Blackroses, you're getting bounced to a URL for phones. Are you trying to see it on an iPhone or Crackberry? If so, try a PC. If not, try a PC with Flash installed as a browser plug-in. Evidence suggests that the VS folks aren't exactly Web geniuses so maybe they're handling a "no Flash" result in a less than graceful manner.

A: No. Fun only happens on Mondays and Wednesdays between the hours of 4 and 6 pm.
