  7. And, by the way, the University of British Columbia is a university, nof a f**king Yank “college”.
    And, by the way, Bill Unruh is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.

  15. And yet, every one of those guys, hobo or prof, is twice as smart as anyone here.
    Pffft. Learnin’s for gays.

  17. What is that comment? Something about the diversity in university?
    All white males? C’mon, there’s got to be a few bag ladies from wymmyns studies you could throw into this.

  18. They all look pretty well fed.
    I’ve always gotten a chuckle out of the photos of Christian missionaries bringing Jesus to starving Africans.
    The bearded white guys are seated in the center with their wives. They are surrounded by black women who are all smiling radiantly, and who are all slightly overweight.

  19. 9/10 – Then again I live in Vancouver so have finely honed skills at distinguishing the UBC Profs from the herds of their Downtown Eastside, er…..Socialist arguments.

  21. A half-eaten apple core, a brass doorknob, and a dead mouse on a string, but only if you pass one more hurdle: you have to be able to differentiate between a 1970’s WHA player and a guy on day parole…

  23. That’s easy. Just count the teeth, and divide by two. I could use a brass doorknob, too. The mouse, not so much. I have a cat, and he provides.

  26. I selected all hobo, got 50%, coulda selected all prof for the same result. Come to think of it, not much difference between them, both have similar affects on society.

  28. Theoretical physics. He is a well-known relativist – given the nature of the Unruh Effect, one might say particle physicist as well. Fundamental physics might be the best overall description.

  30. My first class ever at UBC was Calculus 101 with a guy named “Ron”. Worst, most incompetent teacher I’d ever had in my life. I had loved mathematics all of my life until that class.
    Dear Ron was a hippie wannabe, a consummate drug addict, and someone who bragged about the fact that sometimes he could visualize the 4th Dimension.
    He was hired by the “enlightened” folks at the university and paid a good salary. That was probably the start of me losing faith in the public bureaucracy.

  31. 8/10, and I have met some Hobo’s who were much smarter than many, they have just lost their purpose in life…then again…there are profs teaching who have done the same. Just sayin’!

  32. This is an interesting point – both the high and low ends of the achievement scale tend to be dominated (if that is the word for the latter) by men.

  33. Where’s doctor fruit fly?I live two houses down from a UBC prof.Was finding dog crap all over our lawn.I caught him at two in the morning letting his dogs loose while he didn’t attempt to move from the front steps.We have trees loaded with silk worms which make a huge mess, silk worms allover the inside and outside of the cars.The city offered to remove them and plant other kinds of trees,who do you think scuttled those plans?I was half expecting to see his picture amongst Kate’s collection,and his house is the only one on the block that looks condemned.

  35. 8/10
    One false prof and one false hobo.
    Sometimes profs become hobos. Some profs live like hobos.

  37. 8/10. My method of relying on how they were dressed led me to think there were more pros than in reality.
