Not touching this one. Some make more sense than others and I'm not sure I understand how any university can award a degree to Kermit the Frog puppet. Still, it's interesting. Thanks Katie!

I know this face, he is a singer. Is it Michael Jackson?. Ag, so sorry, my children will know him. Only joking. I am in a good mood today. He was married to Heather Locklear, but I still can not remember who he is. I like JennyLynn's comment. I also dont know who Kermit the Frog is. Too bad, I am getting old.............!

Surprising is RIGHT! Kermit the Frog? Jon Bon Jovi?

[okay~~ Yoko Ono and Dolly Parton both deserve one--they're sharp cookies to say the least~~but MIKE TYSON? that's almost insulting to the tradition.]
thank you, Katie, for reminding me of the value of a university degree...

Namaste!

Honary degrees are only that - honary.
They don't maen the recipient has actually accomplished anything real.
Real degrees require real work.
