1. You made me laugh…again. Well, we call it that because there are no more degrees beyond it that one can get, and also because most people who attain it are somewhat old (and wizened?) by the time we get there. It is sort of a play on words. Also the catacombs as we call them are not a particularly cheerful place. One does not hear laughter bouncing off the walls down there. Just an occasional pencil dropping onto the cement floor.

4. Yes there is sort of an 80’s look about it, although I missed most of the 80’s, being underground in a windowless library trying to get my terminal degree.

     • Because, Alex, APEX has other meanings in academia, lesser meanings, rflol, and also the word terminal has so many lovely connotations.
