Sep 12 20 10:20 pm Link One day sitting in a quantum chemistry class back in grad school, there was a guy who always sat in the front row. Every time he asked a question it was very revealing that he did NOT have a clue. One day he raised his hand- the prof tried to ignore it for some time when finally, standing a foot in front of the blackboard he gave in and said ok, what? The guy asked a typically uninformed question again revealing his lack of understanding. The prof fell back onto the blackboard and said “The depths of ignorance are much deeper than I realized.” Not to be dismissed, the student then said “look I am just trying to learn this stuff. There’s no reason to be insulting.” The response came back, “I am not being insulting, I am simply stating fact.” As the class session ended, the guy hung around and raised his complaint again pointing out that the class was a requirement for the degree. By now, the prof was a tad irritated. His last statement was “Look, there are a lot of schools that would take somebody like you. I suggest you go find one.” Ouch!!
