Rat Fees

      Well the comic pretty much speaks for itself.  These days you never know where your money goes, and sometimes I think the college makes up fees just to get more money.  The sad thing is, I know everyone pays fees for art/band/computers but whenever I go to an art/band/computer class they're always claim they are broke and on an extremely tight budget.  Where does the money go?  I'm sure there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for the lack of money (and I don't claim to be a finance major so I wouldn't understand it), but from my slightly biased perspective it seems that the money isn't going where it should (like to me).  
     Why did I choose to pick on the biology dept in this comic?  Actually no specific reason other than it was the easiest for me to create a frivolous fee.  That and one of my friends wanted to be in the comic (without being pictured in bed).  And now that I think about it, one of the major instances of not having enough funding happened to me last year during a biology class.  We were supposed to dissect frogs but when we arrived to class we found out that the school couldn't purchase the frogs due to low funding so instead we looked at a picture of a dissected frog in the biology book and went home.  So much for scaring my roommates with discarded frog intestines in the fridge...
      Oh, a shout out goes to John for having the frivolous mind to come up with frivolous animals. Go Tech! (Texas that is)
