The Turbo Entabulator, Installed in a Super Cub?

[WindOnHisNose]

Mastery of communication is a fine art, and when asked recently to describe how a turbo entabulator might be installed in a super cub I found myself significantly lacking in my ability to effectively do so. With this in mind, should you be in search of an explanation of how turbo entabulator I would direct you to visit the following link:

I would strongly recommend that you watch the entire video carefully, at one sitting, and watch it through the very end. You will be watching a masterful explanation.

OK, OK, this was a farce, but a very noteworthy one. During my career as a biochemist and later as a physician, I have listened to a number of speakers who have rambled off lengthy presentations using words of which I had not a clue and the thought has crossed my mind that "what if" they were feeding us a line of bullshit. This gentleman did a superb job of doing just that. I wanted to share this with you as an example of just that. Just because someone puts on a white lab coat, has a good powerpoint presentation (it used to be if they had a carousel of 35 mm kodachrome slides...but I date myself) doesn't mean they know what they are talking about.

The background for this presentation on the turbo entabulator is that this scientist was preparing to be filmed for a serious presentation and he decided that his audience was likely to take him too seriously. You will notice, at the end of the presentation, that he paused and those in the audience laughed...couldn't believe what he had just pulled off

Hope you enjoyed it.

I think I used to work with this guy. Possibly French.

Randy, your really talking about the new Healthcare act but you don't want it to go to R&R, right?

Glenn, you are on to me...

 

[WindOnHisNose]

SJ, the Turbo Entabulator has NOTHING to do with the (un)AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE ACT. Glenn was just joking. He is such a joker, that Glenn.

As a matter of fact, we have some experts who weighed in on the subject of the Turbo Entabulator, while at a remote resort in New Hampshire...


Now, I'm not sayin they were legitimate experts, but they were experts just the same. The Turbo Entabulator may not be exactly what it seems!

I've read that the guy who does that presentation was a legit pro at technical presentations, often presenting ideas unfamiliar to him. For that reason, this line of BS was just as easy for him to pull off with a straight face as the others!

I love playing this for my physics students after they get pretty good at understanding their subject. The looks on their faces are priceless, as they try to make sense of quasi-familiar-sounding technobabble.

Ann's tagline re baloney comes to mind - - -

Edit: Here's some history - absolutely hilarious. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turboencabulator

Randy the group in the first photo looks like a gathering of worldly philosophers, except for the dingbat on the right.

Gordon, are you going to let Glenn talk about you like that???!

Hey waitasec - - I resemble that remark - um, well my name does - - - -

Gordon, it is great having a physics teacher on this site. Kudos to you for being what appears to be an engaging teacher. There are a few teachers who go above and beyond to stimulate their students and teachers like you are the ones who really made a difference in my life and in my career. Thank you for being a teacher.

Thank you Randy. Public school teaching is neither prestigious or especially remunerative, but it sure has its rewards. Nothing feels quite so good as when a student or parent, or a high-achieving member of the public such as yourself, says "thanks".

My three last year's physics seniors, who were my students all four years in science and math, are now freshmen beginning aerospace engineering, pre-med, and bio-medical engineering majors. Am I proud of "my kids"? You bet! What a privilege to have worked with them.

I can only hope that at least some of the students who had Marty57 as a shop teacher (now retired) appreciated how lucky they were. Marty's craftsmanship on his all-wood 2+2 wings is nothing short of artistry. He had SO much to offer "his kids".

We have a part on the IndyCar we designed that we call the Turbo Encabulator.

and on our material and process sheet we have a material listed as prefamulated amulite, that stuff is getting hard to find these days.
