Interesting comments. I remember being an undergrad and being in awe
of the professors and how much they had accomplished, and how smart
they were...until I started spending more time with them.
I slowly realized most of them weren't any smarter then anyone else,
they weren't any better people because they were educated (for some
dumb reason I equated more eductaion with a better natured person).
They just seemed really good at zero'ing in on some subjects, and
studying them in great detail.
Hmm, lets shock this rat...look he jumped! Well, we can conclude that
rats respond to the pain impulse blah, blah, blah... Well no shit!
On the other hand, I had a FEW professors that were awesome.
Seriously intelligent, knowledgeable on an amazing variety of topics,
and more then willing to help out a knucklehead undergrad at the drop
of a hat.
And now, back to our regularly scheduled KLR topics.
