While we're at it, there was no such thing as a university at the time of the Roman Empire.

Thank you for your post AnUnSi. I was about to just close the page after reading through the despicable comments, and was very grateful to see a thoughtful post on here.

I love Neatorama, its even one of my homepages, so I think its pretty sad that this erroneous story made it on the blog, spawning so many bigoted comments.
