The billionaire Arthur Irving, Chairman of Irving Oil, just announced a $100 million gift to Dartmouth College to fund the Energy Institute, see: Dartblog Entry. This news brings to mind an old chestnut, viz:
A grasshopper walks into a bar, climbs onto a bar stool and orders a martini.
The bartender, as he delivers the martini, says, "Ya know, there is a drink named after you ..."
To which the grasshopper replies, "You mean there is a drink named Irving?"Badda Bing!
That gift should ensure that Dartmouth thinks favorably about fossil fuels for decades.
