---------------------------------------- Note 15 IMP 201 10/9/80 7:05 pm brian dear / udnondev More classics from the Master of Reality himself, Dr. Graper. ---------------------------------------- Response 1 of 4 *** A Story by Dr. Graper *** 10/9/80 7:05 pm brian dear / udnondev "Alright," the professor said to the massive clot of humanity gathered in the lecture hall,"let's get under way." Thousands of notebooks opened to their first pages, and thousands of pens and pencils stood on the ready, pre- paring to copy down whatever the professor said. "If you don't know already, this is Impossible Physics 201, and I'm Adolf Hitler." "That's impossible!" a young man from the crowd shouted. "Precisely!" the professor returned, "physically__________ impossible!" The students murmured with appeciation at this first taste of impossible physics. "Allright, students, let's try somethng else. How about this?" The professor climbed on top of the central lab table and jumped off without falling. Standing in midair, he asked the class to explain what he was doing. "You're...you're standing in mid-air!" an overly- made up female in the front row said. ---------------------------------------- Response 2 of 4 *** A Story by Dr. Graper *** 10/9/80 7:07 pm brian dear / udnondev "True," the professor said, "and what else?" "You're denying the law of gravity!" shouted an exchange student from Nigeria who got a special grant from the people at Coca-Cola just to study under this professor. "Right," the professor stated, beginning to pace back and forth in mid-air in front of the lab table. He walked back onto the lab table and then slowly stepped back onto the ground. "What I just did can easily be explained by this equation," the professor said, pulling down a screen with an incredibly complex, all-in-tiny-print formula on it. "Study it hard, you're going to have a quiz on it in thirty seconds that figures for 97% of your grade!" "That's unfair!" a girl in the front row objected. "Hardly, Miss Mayfair," the professor grunted, pleased at Ms. Mayfair's look of dismay at his knowing her name. "It's impossible!" Miss Mayfiar's face turned red with embarassment. ---------------------------------------- Response 3 of 4 *** A Story by Dr. Graper *** 10/9/80 7:08 pm brian dear / udnondev "Don't worry Miss Mayfair. The only punishment for wrong answers in this class is disfiguration." To this Miss Mayfair laughed quietly and returned to her former composure. "Alright, class, now for the quiz. Everyone take out a blank sheet of paper." Thousands of sheets of paper ripped out simul- taneously. "Lay them on your desks, and prepare yourself for question one." The classroom silenced. "Allright, that'll be it," the professor said. The students looked at each other in dismay. "Your quizzes have been scored, graded, registered, modulated and transmitted to the unknown civilizations of the universe." Suddenly, a rush of sound ran through the lecture hall. The students turned over their papers to find quizzes, written in their own handwriting, suddenly graded and scored. ---------------------------------------- Response 4 of 4 *** A Story by Dr. Graper *** 10/9/80 7:10 pm brian dear / udnondev "I didn't write this!" "But it's your handwriting!" the professor retorted, "Class is over. I'll see you all yesterday." The students again murmured among themselves about the sanity of their teacher, and filed out of the lecture hall. It was snowing. When they had come in, it had been summer, with 90 degrees in the shade.
