Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Happy Birthday, Benno!!!!!

Thanks everyone! My son goes up to eleven. It's mind-boggling.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Eleven! That's not possible. It's a day late where you guys are, but Happy Birthday wishes, Benno, my birthday twin!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Can someone tell me the British commonality of the use of "college" to mean a school that's just sixth form? I managed to get all the way from second form through acceptance into Balliol College without having heard of that usage.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I can't comment on Britain, but it's the norm in Canberra. My school was St Edmunds College, because it went from year 4 to year 12. Schools that stopped at year 10 were just Charnwood High or whatever. My siblings all went to Narrabundah College down the road, which was just years 11 and 12.
