The Homunculus
Steve Higgins is a psychology graduate student at an online university. He hopes that the three weeks and $29.95 that he is spending on his Ph.D. will get him a job at a Tier 1 research university. Do online universities have postdocs? Ok...just kidding, Steve is a real graduate student at a real school.

Curious. All I heard was bah-bah-bah. In the video-only, I could not tell what the speaker was producing. He was simply opening his mouth.

Likewise, I heard "bah, bah, bah" regardless of what was going on in the video. Interesting.

Another vote for Bah-bah-bah here.
