User talk:KnightOfTL;DR/Crazy Things My Professors Believe

You should really probably change the name and not link to his RMF profile.-- 22:05, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, you're right. KnightOfTL;DR (talk) 22:45, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
 * "Shit my professor says" :) Has no-one ever put a complaint in about the microbiology guy? I find it astounding that he's a professor and not just a lecturer. Crundy Talk nerdy to me 08:23, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I am not entirely sure why, either. There are almost no reviews on his Rate My Professor site that indicate he is a crazy person, and he has been teaching for a fairly long time. I almost want to blame this on that people are lazy and even if they realize he's saying crap they don't want to stop him because the 30 minutes he spends ranting about homeopathy is 30 minutes that they don't have to think or do anything in class. I plan on giving him a seriously bad review and going to the administration with this log (cleaned up for official business of course) of horribleness. He's been strangely nice to me in a condescending way, but I don't think I feel enough sympathy to avoid trying to give him the boot. I'm sorry, when you call me out after class to shower me with compliments about 'questioning my education' and then refuse to question your own terrible beliefs, I just can't be anything but angry at you, Mr. Professor. ±[[File:knightoftldrsig.png]]KnightOfTL;DR sufficiently advanced argument still distinguishable from magic 11:10, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Fascinating stuff. One issue, in discussing "eastern" and "western" science, I'm not sure you can really say the Greeks had science. They were still, generally, of the opinion that if you sat on your ass and thought about it, you could figure out everything. Hence why their main contributions were traditional philosophy and mathematics, which is just a useful application of logical philosophy if you care to use that definition.

Misc
The 2012 debunk is... weird, or at least unclear to me. The date is based on day count cycles, not solar years, and the correlations with the Gregorian calendar were all made long after the Julian/Gregorian shift. There are several possible correlations, perhaps you mean this? See wp:Mesoamerican Long Count calendar.

Also, NASA was probably named in this way because it was the successor of NACA, the wp:National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. Your professor's version is still better than the idiots who think it comes from "Nazi", though. And I haven't ever heard of a satellite called Nazareth. :) --ZooGuard (talk) 11:27, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually yeah, I am not satisfied with that debunk, either. I actually wrote that part a decently long time ago: it was part of a journal on another site, and that point probably got less TLC than the others. I certainly will spruce it up a bit in the future.

._. I remember searching last year and I was sure I found a satellite named that, but I can't find it anymore. Oh nooooo, let me remove that. Most of the debunk of the asian lit class was compiled over quite a long time last year when I wasn't really doing this seriously: just starting on this kind of activity. Now's a good a time as ever to catch a few errors. ±KnightOfTL;DR just shut up already 11:37, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Know. Where. To. Start. My head hurts. WHYYYY!?--Dumpling (talk) 15:56, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I wish I knew. My professor this semester is a molecular biologist. He went on to inform us of the substances in urine after he told us that drinking it was OK. He once gave us a lesson in basic chemistry and then told us that water was somehow changed by homeopathy. I do not understand him nor do I think I ever would want to. ±[[File:knightoftldrsig.png]]KnightOfTL;DR critical thinking is the key to success! 16:31, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

 * God damn, the worst I EVER got from my professors was the history one who said that gender is a totally artificial concept invented by the patriarchy for control. Even that she never went on about, and only brought up during our study of pre-agricultural humans. --Revolverman (talk) 07:12, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
