It'd be interesting to see who people look up to.

I look up to Giorgio A. Tsoukalos. I wish I could do a PhD under his supervision.

I also look up to my 2004 and 2005 High School Classical Studies, and Computing, teachers.

:confused: Uh... what?

Giorgio Tsoukalos has a PHD? I thought a PHD diploma would be too large to fit inside of a cereal box.

No, he doesn't have a PhD.

Tsoukalos is a 1998 graduate of Ithaca College in Ithaca, New York, with a bachelor's degree in sports information and communication.
