Written on the whiteboard in the student lounge (which has been serving as a convenient surface for student grafitti for the whole summer) last week:
Little Known Fact: Prof. Orzel is actually an evil genius working on a gigantic laser which he plans to use to hold the world ransom for $1,000,000,000,000,000.
Sadly, it was erased (and replaced with more typical cryptic comments about students) before I could get a picture of it (and the various responses).
If I promise to give 1% of the money to the college endowment, do you think that would help my tenure case?
The real question is how did the student find out?!
…And why didn’t the ill-tempered sea bass with frikken’ lazers attached to their heads stop him?
College endowment? No. Faculty party budget? You’ve got tenure!
My favourite Haiku:
My moon-based laser
Destroys another city
See who’s laughing now
