did the titanic have chapel ?
You’d think so, wouldn’t you? I found incredibly detailed floor plans for the Titanic at The Discovery Channel’s web site and went through floor by floor looking for the chapel and couldn’t find one. Here’s how detailed the plans are: they show separate compartments for east bound beef [...]
What is the meaning of life without love? [3586B]
[written in answer space: There's so much to life beyond love. Look harder to find meaning. Love is a complement and not a necessary criterion to giving life meaning.]
What life means has been considered and debated by countless philosophers, theologians, artists, and assorted weirdos. If [...]
11/16/09 How long does it take you to answer these questions (in the book) vs. the blog? [3592C]
Aren’t you clever, posing this question online and in the book on the same date? I answered the former the next day, and am just getting to the latter. So the short answer is that online [...]

You’re going to want to talk as soon as possible with Bill Wright-Swadel and his terrific staff over at the Career Center.

Danger, Will or Wilma Robinson!
Why can’t I study in a classroom? [3585A]
[written in other hand: Actually, yeah, I wanna know too: why are the classrooms in the Link always locked, even when the desk is staffed? It's not like there's a surplus of rooms!]
The original question is far too general (I can’t comment on classrooms across campus), [...]
Who invented oatmeal? [3583C]
I assume you mean the consumption of oatmeal as a breakfast cereal. Humans began eating oatmeal for breakfast thousands of years ago – most commonly in the British Isles – so it’s impossible to know who “invented” it (but I’m going to say it was a guy named Conor, who lived [...]
Do my eyes deceive me or is housing on Central subsidary–the section 8A type? Also, why is money going to renovate parts of West when Central is falling apart and getting filthier as we speak? [3577B]
[written in answer space: do you read the news?]
Yes, your eyes deceive you. In fact, you’re blind, you’re [...]
