Look at Miami....way down at #25. That must feel good as well.

Does anyone else night find it slightly humurous that FIU is good at Model United Nations?

I'm a poli sci major at TROY and we're trying to start a Model UN. I always enjoyed it in high school. Congrats!

From one of my favorite episodes of Parks and Rec:

Sorry for the crappy gifs... they were the only images I could find.

Quote:Leslie: Andy, will you be Iceland?
Andy: The bad guys from Mighty Ducks 2
Leslie: How about Japan?
Andy: The bad guys from Karate Kids 2. Even worse. How about Germany? Have they ever been the bad guys?

Nice, I love that episode!

That was a great episode.

My brother was in Model UN in college and he and some friends got stuck having to represent some third world countries and didn't want to have to do it. He convinced them to introduce some resolution condemning several Security Council nations, it was roundly defeated so he got his friends to walkout in protest. Their professor thought it was great and they loved it because they got to leave :)

Love it. The prof must be an idiot.

If I were in model UN, I would so admit North Korea so I could be them.

I propose you should all bow down to me...your great leader!!
