About number 35, I have to ask again (sorry) WHY DOES IT MATTER THAT NATALIE PORTMAN WENT TO HARVARD?

Btw, Tommy Lee Jones did too.

Admiral: I’m guessing it matters because she is a celebrity and a hottie…

I didn’t get in at my other choices.

Yeah, neutralnuke, but she DOESN’T GO TO HARVARD ANYMORE.

It’s not like you’d run into her in Widener…

MusicNut07 · December 10, 2006, 11:20pm

Everybody just breathe. Elle Woods didn’t go to Harvard either, but I don’t see anyone contradicting that post :). C’mon and somebody post a number 39. We’ve got to hurry it up to reach 101 by Friday, 5:00!
