Geologists may make the bedrock, but we geographers will always have MJ :D

MJ should've been a Globetrotter, since he was into geography!

Anyway, let us toast the subjects we dig, famous alumni or not :D

I would like to find how much of the knowledge MJ gained in the two years (or was it one?) that he was there actually stuck...

At a guess, not all that much. Though to be fair, 'use it or lose it' applies to everyone, even academics...

Which reminds me, isn't Shevchenko's son named after Michael Jordan? Maybe he'll grow up to be a geographer if he doesn't veer into football. :D

I never heard of that. I know his name is Jordan but that he is named Jordan after MJ is news to me...

It has been widely reported by the press - which in plain terms means believe it at your own risk :D

Anyway, it's supposed to stem from Sheva and/or his wife being big MJ fans.

Another useless piece of trivia for the brain bin!

Well, little Jordan could've done a lot worse in the naming stakes. Luckily his parents didn't name him after fruit...
