Why my Inorganic Prof will win the Nobel Prize

Some interesting anecdotes about him in lecture:

Anecdote 1

Prof flashes out the next transparency slide. It's a picture of some complicated crystalline structure... but the quality is so bad till you can't see shit on it.

Prof: Ok...
Prof: Oh dear...
Prof: What do I do?
Prof: Ok, I think I can do this....

Prof removes the transparency and brings out an blank ones. Attempts to draw the structure.

Anecdote 2

Student ask prof a question. Prof stares at the transparency.

Prof: Sorry, could you repeat your question? I wasn't listening.

Anecdote 3

Student on front row laughs to himself (I think, was at the back couldn't really see).

Prof: Why are you laughing? You're making me nervous!
