    I suppose I wouldn't want to be whacked on the head by a mortar board... but still, tradition and all that.

    I wonder if the guys at weddings will be warned not to throw their top hats into the air next.

    Are they confusing them with mortar bombs?

    I don't think that many people still do it. I didn't throw mine in the air at my graduation... I may have lost my security deposit. I had to give the bleeding thing back after only having it on for half an bleedin' hour.
