- Trivia question: What college did Dave attend (class of '69) ?
-
- Hint: I graduated from there and he spoke at graduation that year ('91).
- (We gave him an honorary degree. Pretty cool, huh?)
-
- Another Hint: This was the birthplace of his first band, The Federal Duck,
- which came to an end when he and the other members got very drunk and threw
- their amps out of the second-story window while screaming "The Who! The
- Who!"
-
- Another (maybe apocryphical) College Story, that is in no way a hint: Dave
- goes into math his freshman year. This old professor there doesn't
- introduce himself or anything, but launches right into his lecture:
-
- PROFESSOR: Consider the problem of a polygon in n-dimensions...
-
- DAVE: Why is that a problem?
