""The Last Airbender" is an agonizing experience in every category I can think of and others still waiting to be invented. The laws of chance suggest that something should have gone right. Not here. It puts a nail in the coffin of low-rent 3D, but it will need a lot more coffins than that."

Chad, this a a pretty random question. I just purchased your book for my Kindle. Can you promise that it will be more interesting than the Physics for Poets, er, I mean, Non-majors class that was offered at Williams back in the mid to late 80s? Then again, how would you know, you took the real classes. If you were lucky, you perhaps even escaped this particular prof's droning. Wait, why am I asking? It has to better if it involves a dog.

I may or may not have escaped the prof in question. I can only think of a few who could've been accused of droning, and I had two of them.
I can promise that it's definitely not droning, that's for sure. Emmy gets kind of an Andy-Kaufman-as-Latka high-pitched voice...
It's also got way more talking dog than any physics-for-poets class you may have taken. And one evil talking squirrel. That's got to count for something.
Sounds good, and yes squirrels are most definitely evil, as my dogs tell me every damn time they see one. Loudly. I'm looking forward to reading the book. My nephew is doing a Physics/Philo double at Oberlin, and looks up to me as some kind of smart person. Little does he know, that I just smile and nod politely when he gets to the physics. I still reserve the right to red pen the hell out of his philo papers, though.
