For the people who don't know, here is the story of George P. Burdell.
In 1927, a student accidentally got two applications to Georgia Tech. Instead of discarding one, he filled out both of them, one with the fictional name George P. Burdell. Needless to say, the both got accepted, and the student then went on to enroll this fictional student in all of his classes and do all of the homework and take all of his tests twice. By 1930, George had his bachelor's degree, and a few years later his master's. Now, he has around 300 degrees in many different majors, and has over a hundred thousand credit hours. Several times, Burdell signed up for every single class offered, for over 3000 credit hours in one semester, including the year that all registration became computerized in an effort to stop this very thing from happening.
George had a vibrant career in WWII, appearing on many fronts around the world. His most notable contributions to the war effort were with the 8th Air Force, flying in a B-17 Bomber for 12 missions. Sadly, he did not receive any recognition for this because a Georgia Tech graduate became a new operations officer and recognized him. Burdell's flying days were over.
But Burdell's career did not end there. He was on Mad Magazine's board of directors from 1969 to 1981. He was almost Time Magazine's person of the year in 2001, until Time found out he was fictional and cut him from the poll. He is currently a production assistant in South Park. (sauce: http://www.southparkstudios.com/about/web-credits)
Burdell subscribed to magazines for which he never paid, and he harassed insurance agents by ordering policies and then disappearing into the limbo from whence he came. He ordered furniture on mail order and had it delivered to unsuspecting fraternity houses on a C.O.D. basis, and he wrote letters to the editor by the basketful. His frequent victims were the society editors of the Atlanta papers. George P. Burdell is the go-to name for any and every p
@Anonymous:Do people outside of Britain have the scone/scone debate?
I personally say 'Scown' because I'm from middle England, but everyone up north where I live now says 'Scon'.
=)
@Anonymous:George P. Burdell is the go-to name for any and every prank, and has pulled off some pretty impressive stunts. More than just a campus tradition, George P. Burdell's legacy has become so expansive that I would call him a meme.
@Anonymous:It is said 'scown', you pronounce phone with 'own' sound and you do with stone, bone, lone, prone, you dont pronounce those words phon, ston, bon, lon, or pron so why say 'scone' as 'scon', thus, scone is 'scown'
