According to the Philosophical Family Tree (warning: big Java applet), one of [livejournal.com profile] turtlebat23's professors has a very interesting 'dharma lineage'.

This professor's thesis advisor's thesis advisor's thesis advisor's thesis advisor's thesis advisor's thesis advisor's thesis advisor's thesis advisor was a dude named Immanuel Kant. And, by the way, Immanuel Kant's thesis advisor's thesis advisor's thesis advisor was Gottfried Leibniz.

Naturally, if [livejournal.com profile] turtlebat23 goes to USF for her master's degree, I think she should ask this professor to be her thesis advisor. Because, really, how cool would it be to say that your thesis advisor's thesis advisor's thesis advisor's thesis advisor's thesis advisor's thesis advisor's thesis advisor's thesis advisor's thesis advisor was Immanuel Kant? (Or at least be able to claim it on paper -- I don't know whether anyone could really say that without quite a lot of practice.)

"Hi, I'm the great-great-great-great-great-great-grand-protege of Immanuel Kant" is shorter, but still...
