"Remember, DESIGN must NEVER be confused with DECORATION...after you take my class you wouldn't recognize a thing out there"
"We're spending too much money on decorations and making objects ugly when it should be simple which makes it beautiful, for example cars back in the 70's were known for being fancy with fins and opera windows, those are nothing but crap, they should be rejected, but once it becomes popular, the ugliness turns into beauty, and Americans go with the decorated stuff and forget simplicity, that's where easy profit comes to place"

I never had a teacher speak of such truth and have hatred on the mainstream selling out culture. He sure made me confident of questioning why we spend money on un-useful add-ons and such...etc.

Prof: We solve this limit using factorization.
Student: Couldn't we use L'Hopital's rule?

Student: Yeah, but it would still be dead.

All electronics run on magic smoke. When something electronic is destroyed, it stops working, not because of anything as complicated as volts and amps, but simply because the smoke escaped! You can tell when the smoke has escaped by the black stain on the part and that special smell. That's why we say "The smoke escaped!" when explaining why something electronic won't work.

Physical Anthro class- we had to remember which bones were which. His pneumonic device for the femur- it looks like a hammer. This ended up devolving into a discussion as to whether or not you could crack nuts with femurs, and ended with this line.

This teacher was actually put on 'administrative leave' soon after...because they found marijuana in his office. It was a big scandal. Quite hilarious...considering he constantly talked about drugs in class.
