The University of Alberta broke the world record for the largest dodgeball game ever played by having 1200 players participate in one (gigantic!) game on February 5, 2010. Some interesting numbers of note: They played with 600 dodgeballs. And the previous record (from San Diego State University) had only 450 people.
This all sounds kinda interesting ... until you watch the YouTube video. And then it becomes absolutely hilarious! I've never seen 600 dodgeballs disappear in less than 5 seconds. And I've never heard the sound of 1200 people roaring as the game begins. It is definitely worth the 2:13 it takes to watch. Enjoy! (And congrats UA on a game well played!)
Spring can be a great time to start thinking about graduate school. Instead of dealing with rapidly approaching graduate entrance exam deadlines and application dates like you might be in the fall, you can focus more on what you'd like to study and where you'd like to go.
Not sure where to start? Not sure if graduate school is right for you? Just ... not sure?
