I'm gonna make a truth table, unlike any you've seen before
- Prof. Morton

The prof is cute, I'll give him that. Don't you think so? What?? Don't you think he's cute? You guys are weird bro.
- Sid

I'm not an electrical guy, my undergrad was CS. With a minor in chemistry, for those of you here. Which I don't remember.
