Not the first time Bob has done something like this. Back in December, he donated $1Mil to Duke for the same reasons.

First time was in November, and he donated the money to UCLA.

First UCLA, then Duke, then Stanford & Columbia, now Northwestern.  I wonder how many more endowments will be handed out before Barker calls it quits?

Don't worry. I'm sure your alma mater, the Clown College, will get something nice as well.

A self-neutering course, perhaps?

Oh, but that wouldn't take any money at all, from what I've seen on America's Funniest Home Videos. Just get a baseball and a bat, and mission accomplished. You might even get $10,000 out of it, so there's the contribution Craig's looking for. And since Craig, like those balls-to-the-balls clips, is unintentionally funny, he would be a pro! :-)

Hell, for less than $30, we've already saved half of society!

Ah, but now we're talking about taking away endowments, whereas Karlberg asked about "endowments [being] handed out."
