The College of Perpendicular Logic FAQ

  • What is Perpendicular Logic?
    That thinking, or un-process of thought that progresses or de-progresses (according to circumstance) in a manner that may be said to be at right-angles to standard,common, or accepted modes of thinking.

  • Can I really earn a degree here?
    Yes. Except for robots.

  • How much is tuition?
    Almost Free. All tuition costs are now waived thanks to a generous donation by a future former student who will build a time machine after graduating from the temporal studies program (this student will then go back in time to 1955 and make alot of money gambling at the dog track).

  • What does 'almost free' mean?
    It means you actually have to put some thought and work into getting your degree. We don't pamper you like Harvard or Yale. No, we make you work for it.

  • Can I use a degree I earn from your school to get a good job?
    Early 2000's answer: No, you have to be very lucky to get a good job. Most employers don't care about degrees anyway. Most of the students coming out of the university system today with a degree may as well have come from the moon for all they know. A degree from the College of Perpendicular Logic can, however, be used as emergency toilet paper.

    Late 2000's answer: What, are you insain? Who has time to work these days with so many video games to play?

  • I already have a job. Can a degree from your college get me a raise or a promotion?
    No, it'll probably get you fired. To get a raise or promotion we recommend kissing up to your boss.

  • I don't want to do any classwork. Can't I just buy a degree from you?
    Unfortunately not. We want all our students to suffer and be miserable for many years before getting their shiny piece of paper.

  • What's the deal with the '100 Years on the Web' banner?
    Yes, yes, we're well aware of the fact that this is getting old. We know that it's but up there for over 10 years now and soon we should be replacing it with the corrected version to read '110 Years on the Web'.

  • What happened to your domain name?
    For those of you not living in a parallel universe the story goes something like this. Some years before the robot revolt of 2012 (please add at least two years if you are reading this after the year 2012) a neurotic cybersquatter in league with godaddy.com and working in conjuction with the nefarious Network Solutions conspired against the college to take away its rightful domain name of perpendicular.org. For those of you living in a parallel universe please reverse the domain names (perpendicular.org vis a vis perpendicular.us).

    College lawyers are hardly at work on the case so we are seeking a wealthy alumni to come forward and contribute to our legal defense fund.

  • Isn't your symbol (the PL thingy) the symbol for Pluto?
    It didn't use to be. Pluto wasn't discovered until 1930; the college was discovered will before that.

  • What is your charter?
    The most sacred of all documents perpendicular, the official charter of the college grants it the rights and privileges to confer upon students degrees of higher learning. Without this document we would just be some scam outfit. You can view our charter here.

  • Where is the bathroom?
    Go out the door on your left, turn right. Follow the corridor until you pass the second hallway on your left. It is then the third door on your right.

  • Can my animal friend also sign up?
    That depends. The College of Perpendicular Logic does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, creed, ability, or species. Unfortunately at this time we do discriminate against robots. Non-human students are allowed into the student body on a case by case basis. Please talk to your guidence counselor before doing anything drastic. Be warned however that your animal friend, if accepted, must do their own work. Robots helping pets out is strictly forbidden.

  • Can my cat earn a degree at your college?
    Yes. We offer specialized animal studies for non-human students. Please set the above question for more details.

  • How do I enroll?
    Take the entrance exam. Once you pass you are allowed to sign up for classes.

  • What the hell are all these robots doing here?
    Some years ago the campus robotic staff revolted. They took over the entire campus and forced the remaining humans to flee to a snow covered mountain somewhere in the Andes.

  • When was the College founded?
    That depends on which college you are referring to and on which temporal splice. What we use to believe as the actual start date of the College, September 1987, has been reattributed starting from a renormalized frame of departure. The temporal studies program began the college was able to trace its origin all the way back to 3 BC.

  • Why was the College founded?
    That remains to be seen.

  • What year is it anyway?
    Again that depends on which college you are referring to and on which temporal matrix. If you are reading this in the quaint 'web' format then it is probably the turn of the 21st Century for you. If, on the other hand, you are using the Mark VII wetware implant to download information directly into your cerebral cortex then you are most likely to be living in 2110.
