The most FAQ

Every place I appear to speak, someone asks me the same question: "Have you had the Olsen twins in your class?"

Seriously. Tenured professors ask me. Graduate students ask me. Librarians ask me. Cab drivers ask me. My mother-in-law asks me.

For the record, no. Neither twin has ever taken my course. I have seen them out and about. But who in my neighborhood hasn't?

For the past few days there has been a strong rumor 'round these parts that Mary-Kate is dropping out of NYU. So as a public service I am happy to report that she will be with us for some more time.

Therefore, I do not expect the question to go away any time soon either. That is all.
