PIMS = science of the dead???

So I’m typing an e-mail to a prospective PhD student and wanted to use the acronym PIMS (Pontifical Institute of Medieval Studies [Toronto, Canada]), but wasn’t altogether sure that this student would automatically know what “PIMS” meant. Figuring that the student might just punch in “PIMS” to a search engine, I fired up Safari, and in the Google search box I typed: PIMS. The very first return was a nice and tidy PIMS hyperlink, with no further comment or description. Heartened by my efficiency, I clicked the link thinking, “well, the student will get what he needs easily enough.” Then my clicked link brought me here (click on the picture below):



Whaaaaaaaa? I then noticed that the hyperlink was to http://pims.edu, and not my beloved http://pims.ca. Life is good.

PS: What the heck to you think is in the Picture Gallery in the photo???
