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.
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

Just so he could make more money.
It was a calculus class.
Fuck him.

Entropy man. It’s a bitch.
Entropy Man!
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.
