LIFE INSTITUTE OF CENTRAL KANSAS UNIVERSITY NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR FALL TERM

"Remember, I am not recording the vision of a madman. The sun does not more certainly shine in the heavens than that which I now affirm is true. Some miracle might have produced it, yet the stages of the discovery were distinct and probable. After days and nights of incredible labor and fatigue, I succeeded in discovering the cause of generation and life; nay, more, I became myself capable of bestowing animation upon lifeless matter."  
    Mary Shelley. Class of 2016

"I was a history major studying the Renaissance. But then, one day, I realized that all those people were dead. You would think that my advisor would have told me. Well, I soon transferred into the Life Sciences Department and now I'm creating life forms left and right. Screw Da Vinci."
    Donny Deadman. Class 2015

One of the bright spots in this economy is the job outlook for those with degrees in the life sciences. Central Kansas University has begun a $22 billion modern expansion of its 24-hour food court and life sciences program under the direction of Mary Wollstonecraft, PhD. This brilliant but deeply misguided scientist is the recipient of many awards including the 1999, "From Dust to Dermis" award by the American Spontaneous Generation Society and, for five years running,  the National Institute of Health's "Charlatan  of the Year" award.The life sciences program has as its goal, to give students the working ability to make living things out of lifeless goop, mud, junk, garbage or anything else that looks and smells disgusting.

Working with other insane students like yourself, you will chase vampire bats, suck the life out of rats and spend many a happy hour hanging by your thumbs while graduate students attempt to measure your colon.
