Unfiltered Story #32730
(I am a physics major in a university Calculus class.)
Student #1: “I can’t believe there are particles smaller than atoms! They’re called quarts, right?”
Professor: “Quarks.”
Student #2: “There’s a book about those!”
Student #1: “Whoa, really? I bet it’s weird.”
Professor: “I think one of the quarks is called ‘Strange’ or something.”
Me: “Yes, there are six: Up, Down, Charm, Strange, Top, and Bottom.”
Professor: *talking over me* “Maybe it was ‘Odd.’ Anyway, class, let’s get back to Applications of Integrals.”
