You think they would be too tired to fight, after a long day of productive labor. They were probably arguing over whether MIT or Caltech has the more stringent curriculum/s
These guys very well could have attended “MIT.” Many years ago, Milwaukee Area Technical College (a 2 year community college) used to be named Milwaukee Institute of Technology (MIT) because it taught technical stuff like running a machine tool. Endless confusion, hilarity and jokes re Milwaukee MIT vs. Massachusetts MIT.
The plural of curriculum is curricula, which when pointed out to one of the brawlers is what triggered the whole fight.....
