Kind of a dick, but that's to be expected when you're so much smarter than everyone else.

He was a physicist at UT?

I always wondered what he did after Cocoon and the Police Academy movies.

Holy shit, this is like when you find out that Peter Weller went and got a Ph.D. at UCLA in Itlian Renaissance Art History, or learning that Brian May got a PhD in astrophysics from Imperial College London and was Chancellor of Liverpool John Moores University from 2008 to 2013.

I had his wife for Federal Courts.  I didn't think she was that great a teacher, but I learned it and it stuck with me, so  . . . .

I also had his wife for Fed Courts. 
 

I have no idea why I took that class. 
 

She seemed to be more in love with John Marshall than anyone living today. 
 

I had never been happier about getting a B+ In any class ever than that one.

Sad news. I was wondering how Professor Weinberg was doing. As in, is he still with us?

Do they light the Tower for something like this? Or light it with a different color?

He had some (imo) great quotes regarding religion. I don't want to clutter up this thread with it but here's a link to some of his better quotes.

This is the kind of stuff they should put on the Jumbotron on Saturdays during a TV time out instead another God damned Tiff's Treat's commercial or that worn out "Get your bachelors degree..."
