I bet the study sessions at the beer Garten have interesting conversations. Lol.

 

[clob94]

I don't know about y'all but I'm getting an A+ in that #6 Princeton class.

@Belldozer1 would ace the #15 Michigan class.

 

[ASURAM2010]

I genuinely wonder what "major" these fall under

Snowflake millinial degree in fine arts?

Most look like upper division selected topics or seminar type elective courses in sociology or "___ studies" programs. They are mostly pet projects for faculty who are prepping for a big research project so your course prep doubles as research time. I am working on 2 outside of our core. Once is creating health, fitness, and wellness video content for social media platforms (instagram, youtube, and snapchat). The other is looking at activities of daily living as general physical preperation for combat in Viking Age Europe. (Longship building is far superior to farming). Then you need to come up with a catchy title so you can get enough people to sign up so the class will make. Still trying to figure out what to call mine.

Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin are rolling in their graves.

Viking longships were made with an ax, a sledge hammer made out of a tree stump and wooden wedges. So you go out to the forest and cut down a tree 100% with an ax. Then you hook it up to an ox and take it to the construction site. The log end of the log is cut flat and wooden wedges are driven into the tree that splits it into 4 pieces. Those pieces are hand hewn into planks. The guys that built the boats were probably on the raiding parties. The had a mix of max effort lifting(lifting logs and planks), Power training (felling and splitting trees), endurance training (hewing logs). Most of those guys fought with Axes because a sword cost about what a house would cost. During the construction process they would have to make thousands of very precise cuts which meant they were very skilled at swinging an ax. They also consumed massive amounts of protein. The farmland in Northern Europe was crap. So they ate a ton livestock, raindeer, and fish (all high in protein). So you got some big strong fit dudes who know how to handle their weapons. No one really had standing armies during the viking age so you had farmers picking up weapons when the viking ships appeared and those dudes didn't stand a chance.

Forgot to mention rowing the boats on the passages from Northern Europe to England, France, Spain and Italy

Wow. Depressing. I was questioning my son when he took "History of Rock" at UT a few years ago. I don't feel as bad now.
