WB's haul on Harry Potter to date: 12.7 fucking BILLION dollars.

If Harry Potter were a country, it would be richer by GDP than mutherfucking Iceland.

That's messed up. Iceland needs to write a gripping series of fiction about a nerdy young wizard.

I read some Icelandic sagas in College. They probably were pretty gripping in the 14th century. They even had a few wizards. Nerdy and young they weren't, though.

The noteworthy thing about that class, however, was that my study partner was Anna Ferris. Who laboriously pronounced "Grettir" in a way that I still hear in the back of my head. It took me like three of her movies to realize why she was so damn familiar.

Not to be a dick, but I think of Anna Ferris the same way I do Selma Blair. Side Kick... sure. Lead... meh. Wouldn't be too shabby of a study partner though. As for the Grettis Saga's, you should write it and become the next J.K Rowling.

I think of Anna Ferris the same way I do most every other hot chick I ever studied with. Wanted to get in the pants of... sure. Somehow just didn't quite... meh.

Better luck next time! Any other notable study partners? I had a class with Malinda Pound in college. Don't bother looking her up, not a celebrity...just smoking hot. There was a thread on Hubski I saw about Lou Reed, He sums it all up well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77loNxyHMX0&sns=em
