The only thing you really need to know as an electrical engineer is V=IR and you can't see in the dark. The only thing you really need to know as a mechanical engineer is E=MC^2 and you can't push on a rope.

If you can see where his prompt is going, congratulations! You're as much of a nerd as the rest of us in the class lauging were. Unfortunately his little prompt/lead-in/metaphor ended up going on for a few minutes until the very last person to get the joke was the girl being called on.
For those who don't know why this is funny: int(1/x) = ln(x), pronounced "natural log of x." Yes, it was that bad...

I have since learned that he says this every single time he teaches the class, but it is a great way to see who's still awake that day. This is in reference to calculating properties of AC circuits, beyond that, I don't remember.

Stated angrily in a Romanian accent while the class was distracted by a cardinal continuously braining itself against the window for the fourth day in a row during class. I swear, none of us in the room caught it. I only remembered her saying it and it occurring to me later how wonderfully random it was.
