"And don't start with Avogadro's Constant. I don't even think you know what it is. (Please! (my comment)) Do I need to remind you of what happened three weeks ago at the conference on the effects of space travel on the reproductive systems of marsupials? You embarrassed the entire university with your question for Dr. Busby."
Well Dr., I ask you to look at this for a moment and tell me who has the last laugh now (click to enlarge it and read it in all of its glory):
I think that puts that question to rest. For a real laugh at the stupidity of man, read the entire comment from Dr. Rectshaffen below. My next post (a lesson in quantum physics) will be appearing shortly. I hope you enjoyed and understood this entry.

Prof. Sax, nice letter. How many "Magic: The Gathering" cards did you have to offer Dr. Busby for it?
I jest.
I all seriousness, there is only one thing in that letter that I can agree with: when he called you a "self-inflated windbag." There is no doubt that Dr. Busby is a genius.
I would not, however, have gone so far as to call you a moron. As I'm sure you're well aware, "moron" has a specific scientific meaning, referring to an exact range of IQ scores. And, while self-inflated, your IQ is clearly above the moron range.
In fact, it may interest your readers to know that while we may disagree on some topics (Saturated Lipid Re-uptake for example) we have had many enlightening conversations and collaborated on some groundbreaking scientific work. We are both brilliant scientists after all.
I was recently reminiscing about when you and I shocked the scientific community by proving that it is possible to remove the skin of an orange and wrap it around an apple so that no seams are visible to the human eye, even under close inspection, using only everyday household items. It took two and a half months in the lab, 1246 naval oranges, and 792 mackintosh apples but it was worth it. The look on the dean's face was priceless when he pealed that orange only to find an apple inside. You could tell, he had really been looking forward to that citrusy goodness, but no, it was an apple instead. I still think this is why Dean Malthus Shmalbinson has passed me over for tenure time and again. He was not pleased. But it was worth it. Ah, good times.
I look forward to your lesson in quantum physics. But please, enough with the Saxton. Our department has suffered ample ridicule over that already.
