One of my professors wrote the textbook we were using. Before the first day of class, he sent out a greeting email. Attached to that email was a .PDF of the textbook. Hell yeah.
That's really rare. Back when I was in school the professor who taught the class and wrote the book would, every year, change enough of it to sell a new addition. Either move the sections around or change the problems.
Just so he could make more money.
It was a calculus class.
Fuck him.
Oh man. In undergrad I had a Thermodynamics professor who used the DRAFT VERSION of his textbook to teach with. It was completely unedited and he expected us to catch any errors. He was also like 80 years old, doddering, hard of hearing, forgetful, didn't give us a syllabus until halfway through the semester.... It's the only class in undergrad that I got less than a B in. Years later I still resent him lol
Entropy man. It's a bitch.
Entropy Man!
Entropy Man would be a scary accidental villain. Just random acts of chaos as they go through life until enough shit goes wrong and they become persecuted. The they learn to use their powers for revenge against an unjust society.
I'm just imagining a very old man in a threadbare cape.
Like Martin Short's character in Pure Luck?
OMG somebody else knows this movie!!! :D
My dad would always laugh to the point of wheezing at the bee sting bit...
Are you a brother I didn't know about?!
My Dad does the same thing!
He doesn't even need to be watching the movie. I can just say, 'Hey remember Martin Short getting stung in that movie?' And he'll start guffawing.
Show this to yer Pa!
Hahaha sorry for taking so long to reply!
Thanks for making my day bro. What an unusually goofy thing to connect over. This is why the Internet can be great. :)
Man, I can't tell you how much I really wish I could. Thanks for re-unlocking this treasured memory for me, bro. I mean it! 🥲
Please do me a huge favor and give your Ol' Man a big bear hug for me, kay? Or give him a call or whatever. Bet it'll make his day. :)
Haha maybe you can bond over Innerspace too, if you haven't seen it. We liked that one too. XD Martin Short is a legend hahaha.
i first read it as CUCK
Hmm...
I give you permission to stop caring about that grade and to forgive someone who was surely on the way out after your class. The likelihood is that he died years ago.
It’s more of a grad school thing but I’ve had professors just give us all physical copies of their book because they have too many cases of free copies at home.
Ha hell yeah. My dad did adjunct work for a while while working for the gov. He declined profits from his textbook and gave it out free to his students as he thought it was unethical. The copies the gov bought for their cont ed courses he gladly accepted the profits from though lmao my dad's a real one.
