re: Baton Rouge native named Rhodes Scholar

Oughta be studying estrogen

Interesting fact, the origin of the Rhodes Scholarship comes from Cecil Rhodes, who basically created the country of Rhodesia, now known as Zimbabwe, with the help of financing from the Rothschild family.

Cecil also obliterated the local African population, and then went on to form a little diamond company called de Beers.

He did find time to create the Rhodes Scholarship in his name.

His will also dictated, through his own pen, that he wanted to see Britain regain all of it's colonies, including America.

Dude was kind of fricking awesome.

Alfred Nobel the originator of the Nobel prizes invented dynamite and also owned a major manufacturer of cannon and other armaments, yet created the Nobel prizes which include the Nobel peace prize.

The Nobel committee debated for a extended time if they should award the prize for mathematics to John Nash who was mentally ill (book/movie "Its a Beautiful Mind"), I wonder if the Rhodes committee faced the same difficulty.

The title reads like his last name is Scholar and his parents names him Rhodes

Then, I thought, if I were in an article about my Rhodes Scholarship, then I would want to make sure they pointed out that I like peanut butter.
