TIL that a "buttload" is an actual unit of measurement.
TIL that people with a advanced degrees usually have no clue about what real life is. We are replacing electrical transformers at a research facility, notices were sent out that power would be off for the night. Dr. MacSmartypants is working at his desk about 5 minutes before the shutdown. The building facilities guy tells him power will be going off in a few minutes, his reply, Can I still use my computer?
