But on the bright side he didn’t die of nerve gas poisoning even though the nurse was wondering what was up when he forced he way past her to get the (never used) antidote)

Not only on the list, but in his wildest fantasies.

Mark Hamill and Billy Dee Williams shoulda made the list. Plus your glaring omission on Derek Lines!

Please tell me that your crazy chem prof also invented a “floating rubber” substance and despite the efforts of the dean used it to save the school.

Definitely Wynton Marsalis. Definitely not Michael Dukakis.

Astronauts? Please.

I’m looking for people that are so cool they can even make being an Eagle Scout cool. That’s a lot of cool. Cool plus.

Dave Foreman, founder of the radical environmental group Earth First.

John Tesh, hack musician.

At minimum Asperger’s Syndrome. But probably OCD as well. If those sores are from radiation and not just meth then the guy has some serious issues and probably is already suffering from cancer.

On the other hand back before 911 it was pretty typical that science type geeks would make explosives, play with radiation etc. I won’t tell you how much uranium we had in my home when I was a kid…

Reminds me of a verified story I heard of a certain chemistry student (who later became a professor where I went to school) who decided for reasons that don’t make a lot of sense to see if he could make nerve gas. He did and, of course, dropped it. He managed to get an antidote in time but got in a heap of trouble. (At the school I went to I’m sure he’d at best have been expelled – someone in our department got expelled after chloroforming a cat and leaving it in a bell tower – and the dean found out about our efforts to take over the national anthem played on campus and replace it with twist and shout… Fortunately he liked us.)
