Oh man, that reminds me of this kid at ONU, Tom Manusak. Talk about your all-time f*ckups. This kid was in all my classes until I co-oped, and somehow he's actually gonna graduate with a BS in mech engineering this spring. Here are the highlights:
"I want to be a mechanical engineer, but I never said I was mechanically inclined." graemlins/nonono.gif
Raises his hand and asks a question that was answered 5 minutes before. Put our statics class 2 days behind my freshman year... graemlins/doh.gif
Brings a laptop to class and talks on AIM over wireless during classes. Even Dr Marquart has told him he'd quit asking the dumb questions if he'd stop playing on the computer...
Fall of Junior year he broke a tool on the mill because he started moving the table (auto-feed) without turning the mill on first. Argh! graemlins/wtf.gif
Topping it all off, he wears this leather top hat thing every day. So at the end of the quarter, the whole class got plastic hats to mock him and put them on when the prof was writing on the board. Everyone, even the professors, crack on this kid to his face because he's a moron.
I feel your pain, McGraw.
