There are lots of rumors floating around William & Mary....
*That we have the 2nd highest campus suicide rate in the country (People are morbidly proud of it, and it's just not true!)
*Jackie Chan's son is a student at W&M (actually true, so I guess it's not a rumor)
*Jon Stewart is an alum (true) but is rumored to have hated his time here and won't come back as a commencement speaker or anything. (There's also some debate about whether he was a Sig Chi or a PiKA)
*A student committeed suicide in our english building and now haunts the 3rd floor, which is why no classes are held there (as an english major, I love this one...)
*Steely Dan wrote "My Old School" about W&M and how he got kicked out for smoking pot-- this one came up because there's a line in the song that says "William and Mary won't do, now" but I've never seen anything that says he ever attended!
I'm sure there are more that are slipping my mind.... this stuff is so funny!
*C*
