[Home]ProfessorPrag

Visiting Professor for the Humanities department. He teaches Economics courses, and generally assigns 2-4 homeworks a semester. I believe that the worst of those might have taken me about 30 minutes. NeedsRewriting, mostly put up so I can add the entertaining quotes.

According to tales heard at the ItrGames one night in Spring 2008, once let out a class 45 minutes early with the comment "Sorry class took so long today."

DavidLapayowker decided to keep track of how many times ProfessorPrag swore in Praganomics in Fall 2006, partially to learn Python GUIs, and partly because he thought it would be funny. Here's what he came up with:


Quotes:

"Or an asset, like myself, that never matures"

On greeting cards: "It's abso-fucking-lutely useless"

"When I think about my own evil tendencies..."

"Ugly fish" --ProfessorPrag on the koi

"Economists have gone so far as to name parts of the graph, kind of like you name parts of...nevermind."

"I was going to say 'Rhode Island', but I think San Bernardino County is bigger than that."

"[The computer industry] started as one company. Well, two. But I don't know that anyone would count Apple."

"Frankly, I'd rather people be here and doze than not be here at all."

"It's nice to come up with bullshit terms and economists do this better than anyone."

"I'd love to know what a widget is. I've been teaching this shit for 20 years and I still don't know what a widget is."

"You have a bunch of really smart economists-- a bit of an oxymoron. OK, so you have a bunch of industry economists..."

ProfessorPrag teaches a class to SoCal? Edison a few times a year. The compensation? "They pay me enough to buy a BMW with one check."

"...and a bunch of podunk countries. Nothing personal against you, if you happen to be from a podunk country."

You can expand this graph to work in three dimensions and it works fine. And if you drop acid you can visualize it in as many dimensions as you want!
