Longest Physics Lecture in History?
gfrege writes "Perhaps you remember some long physics lectures from your days at school. But as part of a general strike of students at the Humboldt-Universitaet zu Berlin concerning cuts in funding for the city's universities, some physicists are in the middle of what could be the longest physics lecture in history. It started at noon on Monday, and is planned to run to noon on Thursday. Check out the topics, and if you're in Berlin, come on down. The Babelfish translations of the lecture titles make for some fun reading, too, if you can't make it there yourself."
Man, I thought Inna Gadda Da Vida was long.

Students in Germany are ridiculous...
1) They get their entire education paid for FREE.
2) While studying they get retirement contributions paid for them by the government.
3) They can take their education as long as they would like. For example if it takes a student 20 years then it takes 20 years all the while the German taxpayer is funding the student.
What they are now trying to do is take away the retirement rights and make them pay a small fee. WELL GEE WHIZ welcome to the real world. Oh I forgot the German Students do not know what the real world is. I was born and am a German citzen, but was educated in Canada and the US. Places where you had to actually study and work...
Oh wait let me cry my croc tears....
