[edit] The Bhamra Fiasco

The Bhamra Fiasco (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

This entire thing smacks of a hoax. The whole premise is suspect: why would a student try to get a professor's attention -- make that, a professor who was visiting the university to give a talk -- by repeatedly calling his first name during a presentation? Google has one hit for this, which is this article. I was at UBC in March 2006, and there was no coverage of this in the student media. The article has no references, and I highly doubt that the Georgia Straight would have covered something so trivial. Anyway, a search on the Straight's website returns exactly no hits for "Bhamra" or "Bhamra Fiasco." How this avoided detection for so long, I don't know. Exploding Boy 08:33, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
