I've long since left the world of academia for the grasping world of private enterprise. However, there are a few things that I still miss from those days ... mostly, the good-natured eye-poking of cherished philosophies and self-important thinkers.A post by Brad over at Skull-Crushing For Great Justice reminded me of an old chestnut. See the attached cartoon. I have no idea who the artist is, but I had a good chuckle back in the day.
I guess its an academia thing, but I loved the last one: Foucault Flakes.
"A literary tour-de-force:" the cartoon proclaims, "Breakfast as Text!"
"But it's empty."
"But of course."
"It's French, it must be good."
Sorry, probably lost in translation.

Poli Sci. We had some interesting professors. One would bring cartoons like this into our weekly seminar.
As a philosopher, anything that makes fun of postmodernism is alright with me (even if Foucault DID reject that label...he's still French)
