Last night,
mabfan and I were watching the 6:30 national news, and they were reporting on the Moussaoui jury's verdict that Moussaoui was "eligible for the death penalty." The following conversation ensued:

gnomi: ...like he got into college or something.
mabfan: Yes. Exactly.
gnomi: But, well, death college.
gnomi: Like, Cornell.
