A BA in Advanced blinking?

I'd been meaning to post Jasper Fforde's delightfully snarky comment on modern university courses for a while now. It's actually a quote from The Bumper Book of Berkshire Records, 2004 edition; a fictional tome whose epigraphs grace several chapters in Fforde's Nursery Crime series of novels:

Gone are the days when only traditional academic disciplines were offered for further study. A quick trawl of UK prospectuses reveals that Faringdon University offers a three-year BA in 'Carrot husbandry', a course that is only mildly stranger than Nuffield's 'Correct use of furniture' or Durham's 'Advanced blinking'. Our favourite is the BA offered by the University of Slough in 'Whatever you want' in which you spend three years doing... whatever you want. Slough has reported, perhaps unsurprisingly, that the success rate is 100 per cent.
