    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 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.

              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. :)

                Show this to yer Pa!

                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 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.
