Live Blogging Chemistry - A God vs. Science Class!

10:51 AM- I arrive into class. I sit down in the back row, then get up and pick another seat because the back of my former seat was broken. I will let you know what sucker picks my old, broken seat.

10:54 AM- I am sitting to the right of a middle aged asian woman. She is playing an online game to prepare herself for class. Nice technique.

10:56 AM- Some kid on the other side of the room is blasting some thrash metal on his iPod. We can all hear it. I feel bad for the kid because now we all know he has horrible taste in music.

10:58 AM- The busted chair was taken by a girl. When she sat down she said, "F**k, my chair is broken."

11:00 AM- Giddy Up.

11:02 AM- The professor for this class is a good man, however he has a thick Middle Eastern accent and it is tough to understand everything he says.

11:07 AM- Today we are going to discuss uncertainty. Although, I guess I can't be sure.

11:10 AM- I have no idea what this guy is saying.

11:12 AM- "God does not play dice" - Albert Einstein

"Who is Einstein to tell the Lord what not to do?" - Niels Bohr

Niels Bohr, them be fighting words.

11:14 AM- Were now watching a video from the website, www.freesciencelectures.com, I don't feel comfortable with this.

11:17 AM- There are three middle aged women in this class. Two of them sit in front of me, the other one is the aforementioned Asian lady. Anyways, the point is the two in front of me are gossiping right now.

11:20 AM- There are some characters in this class, but none quite like Blonde Protestant Kid in the Front Row. His voice sounds like what would happen if you mixed Ellen Degeneres' voice with a gerbil. Needless to say, I love when he talks.

11:26 AM- Still, I have no idea what this guy is saying.

11:29 AM- The professor must have just made a science joke, three people laughed, including Blonde Protestant Kid.

11:31 AM- Here are my favorite animals, in no particular order:
Wolf, Tiger, Otter, Koala, Raccoon.

11:33 AM- Pretty sure the Asian lady just farted.

11:36 AM- Some girl just left. She brought her sunglasses with her. One can only assume she is done for the day.

11:38 AM- Nice pun from the professor, "Does anyone find Neil Bohr, boring?" Keep 'em coming.

11:40 AM- In what was easily the most random part of class, we went from looking at a picture of the greatest scientists in the world sitting down, to a picture of Sean Penn, to a picture of Kate Winslet, to a picture of Humphrey Bogart, to a picture of Keanu Reeves. I have no idea what just happened.

11:42 AM- The class is still reeling from the actor slideshow. People are making fun of Keanu Reeves, all I know is they best stop before I go all Shane Falco on they ass.

11:43 AM- Out comes a black light.

11:45 AM- Morgan Freeman is playing Nelson Mandela in Clint Eastwood's newest movie Invictus coming out in December. Matt Damon is playing the other lead role. I am so pumped. Down with Apartheid!

The movie is about the 1995 Rugby World Cup and Nelson Mandela being a stud. There is a good book out there about Mandela and the 1995 Cup that I've read. Buy it here! http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Playing-the-Enemy/John-Carlin/e/9781594201745

11:48 AM- Still trying to figure out the actor collage from before.

11:50 AM- The professor is looking for his laser. Blonde Protestant Kid had this advice for him, "Check your pocket, I always forget when I put things in my pocket. It is so frustrating!"

11:52 AM- We just started to talk about Kate Winslet and her acting expertise.

11:55 AM- Now onto President Truman.

11:56 AM- Just asked the class whether we want to get out early or talk about something else.

11:57 AM- Now he is talking about class participation and how this class is not doing well in that department.

11:59 AM- Peace.
