My Assistant Beaker Will Take Care Of This Post...
Consider the following poll put out by BBC Entertainment: who is your favoirte TV/movie scientist? You've got all kinds of famous ones to pick from: James Bond's Q, Mr. Spock, Dr. Who, Doc Emmet Brown, Frank N. Furter, Dr. Evil, Dr. Strangelove, Dr. Frankenstein, and Dana Scully.
And who beat out the competition 2-to-1 when the polls were over and the dust cleared?

I guess that when you get right down to it, people would rather invest in gorilla detectors than time machines, trans-dimensional phone booths, or a man with blonde hair and a tan.
Today's Lesson: it's probably a good idea to have some life lesson already planned when you do a 'today's lesson' segment, so when you sit down to write it, you don't blank out and panic at the last minute.
