The Vague Studies Department was founded five years ago to cover subjects that weren't covered by other departments. Popular legend says that X-Ball University President and current Commissioner of X-Ball, L. Brainius, was asked what the new department would be called, and he said, "It's all a little vague right now." Actually, to be honest, it's not that popular a legend.
