Joke Website: WebGMUC

Spun off from the George Mason University, Corp. parody, this is a parody of the GMU student information system called WebGMU. You’re more likely to get useful information out of mine than you are during the real one during class-selection time, final-exam time, or when tuition is due. Made in 2004.

WebGMUC.

GMU claims a copyright on the original work, however as a state institution its copyright is unenforceable (if even legal in the first place).

John Marshall

My philosophy, in essence, is the concept of man as a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement as his noblest activity, and reason as his only absolute.
