@docinaustin (Austin, Texas): Paul McCartney & Ringo Starr gather together, we still call them The Beatles? http://tinyurl.com/akst65



@tarranti (London, England): So iif Sir Paul & Ringo do this charity gig in New York, what's the betting McDonalds bring out the McStarr, fried drumsticks with wings


@davemazur (New York, NY): @Pollstar: Beatles reunion may be impossible but Paul on bass + Ringo on drums + Pete Townsend on guitar + Daltrey singing = The Who-tles


In other Beatles news this week, a university in Liverpool is now offering a Master of Arts degree in The Beatles, according to BBC News.

Some twitterers showed excitement, while others questioned the practicality of having a degree in The Beatles.

@shereenmarisol (Los Angeles, Calif.): RT@ weirdnews School offers master's in The Beatles http://cli.gs/Tpz07G SIGN ME UP!!!


@CLaubenstein (Hanover, Mass.): You can get a degree in The Beatles? Gotta love Europe : ) http://tinyurl.com/aoj7as



@lizreay: ...and precisely what job does a MA in The Beatles prepare you for? http://is.gd/lNWD



@95sxbrown2gg (Charleston, S.C.): The Beatles. I thought you become a member of a fan club for your favorite bands not take college credits for a degree.


@95sxbrown2gg (Charleston, S.C.): @saltyfam I guess you could get that job. Is there a Beatles Museum? You could right a book about them should be an elective not a degree.
