My favorite moment in all of WKRP. Y'know that was a REALLY good show...! If you want to learn about the Atom...you need go no further!

    Now, the Mets are a new york baseball gang that hate the Smilies. Now the Smilies, they like a whole bunch of shit, but the Mets, they want to BE other shit. Smilies don't amount to fuck all in life, but they're always like other shit, they smiling. Mets hate them, because people always compare the two. But the Mets, they've got ambition, they're always achieving shit, and when they succeed they drink wine from amphoras like romans, real high class shit. They like their high class celebrations so much, they named themselves after it. They became the Metaphors. The Smilies, they're so retarded, they can't even spell their own name. They call themselves the Similes.

Get this, he never graduated from college! When he was tapped to become chief exec. the company heads were shocked that he never attained a degree. They wanted him to go back to college to get his degree and head up their chemical division. He declined and decided to pursue acting instead.

Or maybe they'll circle the neighborhood but farther away.

    Oh, man, I actually remember that scene from when it was first broadcast forty-odd years ago! Even though I only saw it once! Probably because I was a nerdy kid and was into nuclear physics. :-) Technically, Venus's description is a bit inaccurate (although it's a good starting point for students to get a basic idea of the structure of the atom, albeit oversimplified). Venus is describing the Bohr model of the atom from 1913, which envisages electrons circling the nucleus like planets. But we now know that they don't really do that. Their motion is more complex and unpredictable, bouncing around randomly so fast that they are in effect everywhere at once. Yeah, I'm still a nerd. :-)

    Yeah, but part of being a teacher is knowing when not to throw a student in the deep end. Everyone loves to say they can be thrown in the deep end, but I would hire an honest employee who admitted they have to build their skill. That's not nearly as humbling as jumping into the corporate deep end, then flailing around for a lifeguard... lol. But yeah, you're right..s,p,d,f orbitals, Pauli exclusion principle, quantum numbers, etc. We do need nerds, so more power to ya.
