Things today's calculus students can/can't do.

Can: Identify Popeye the Sailorman.
Can: Identify MC Hammer.
Can't: Describe the music video for "No Rain" in one sentence.
Can't: Tell me one movie that Ricardo Montalban was in.
Can't: Identify four Transformers from the original cartoons.
Can't: Name three Beastie Boys songs.*

*This gets worse. Someone asked me "Aren't they, like, a boy band?"

  1. I would slap that questioner so hard, all my fingers would shatter.

    Four original transformers isn't that big a deal, since it was such a corporate sell-out from the getgo and because every single one had a name like "Slambox," "Ratchet," or "Generic."
