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!!!!!

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.

Also not British, but I think they talked about a "Sixth Form College" on one of the XX-Up Documentaries I watched recently - maybe 42-up? When some of the people who married young had teenagers. (42 up would have been filmed about 1996.) Some of the kids left school at 16, but the daughter one of the East End women was going to a Sixth Form College and had hopes of a University education. So my impression was a lot of schools stopped at 16 but if you wanted to go on to University you did a separate school for a year or two.
