5. Lobachevsky

Who made me the genius I am today?
The mathematician that others all quote?
Who's the professor that made me that way?
The greatest that ever got chalk on his coat!

One man deserves the credit!
One man deserves the blame!
And Nicolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky is his name!
Hi!
Nicolai Ivanovich Lobach ---

I am never forget the day I first meet the great Lobachevsky!
In one word he told me secret of success in mathematics: plagiarize!

Plagiarize!
Let no one else's work evade your eyes!
Remember why the good Lord made your eyes!
So don't shade your eyes!
But plagiarize! plagiarize! plagiarize!
Only be sure always to call it please 'research'

[Lionel Mandrake]

6. My favorite Tom Lehrer song is Wernher von Braun.

When I mentioned this to my older daughter, who is highly educated, she didn't know who Wernher von Braun was. Many of you youngsters may be in the same predicament. If so, you can read about him here:

Senior citizens like me may prefer to jump directly to the song:
