Law of the Academy #440
Anything said after the first 10 minutes of the department meeting will not be heard by at least 60% of those attendance. And of the remaining 40%, half of them will forget what they heard within two days.
Observations from an old cranky jerk who happens to be a professional philosopher. Occasionally philosophical, most often just vulgar. Sometimes focused on sober points of logic and issues in political theory, but more frequently fixed on nonsense. Bad metal bands, crappy guitarists, stupid lyrics, celebrities, pop "culture," telemarketers, irrationality, and other annoyances. Always misanthropic. Anti-religious. Not particularly amusing, either. Some might say insulting. Strange mail. Kook magnet. Doom. Comments from other cranky jerks, young and old.

Sorry, what was that?
That's why they take minutes. Which brings me to another Law of the Academy - #758, I think it is: No one ever reads the minutes.
And half of those who forget will mis-remember what was said and will be certain that they've remembered correctly.
