I present to you...
Professor Julius Sumner Miller!

This guy made physics fun. He was so damn enthusiastic abuot science! Anyone remember him? (He was a PBS staple, just like Bob Ross. These guys really define if you are Gen X or not.

)
My fiance made such a great point - imagine Bob Ross as your high school art teacher, and Professor Miller as your science teacher. Man, I probably would have never dropped out.
(Chris, GREAT Bob Ross post, BTW. I love that stuff.)
