After listening to my story, some of our colleagues suggested that the car manufacturers will have to have a special customized warning sticker for absent-minded professors like me.

Parent Previews: The Absent-minded Professor Typical of the Disney fare of this era, The Absent-minded Professor sports a familiar cast playing the usual characters, including bumbling police officers, a scholastically under-achieving basketball jock, and a wealthy citizen who is really a sleazy hustler. The Absent-minded Professor was originally shot in black and white, but the film was later colorized. Although they are played innocently enough, the portrayal of a dishonest father (with a taste for gambling) encouraging his son to follow his example, the hero resorting to revengeful tactics, over-reactive security personnel, and a group of thugs with a gun, may be of concern to some parents. movies.go.com /parentpreviews/review?rid=858   (509 words)

Amazon.ca: Absent-Minded Professor (Widescreen): DVD "The Absent Minded Professor" shows him at his best -- brisk and light, almost as weightless as flubber renders the Model T. "The Absent Minded Professor" was shot in BandW, because the special effects were too difficult (and too expensive) to do well in color. If you can tear the kids away from the computer-generated flash of Flubber, the inferior 1997 remake, The Absent Minded Professor provides ample amounts of Disney slapstick for an afternoon of laughs. Not only is there the famous flying Model T, but the professor's attempts to woo his ex-fiance by dancing in flubber-heeled shoes, and a flubber-enhanced basketball game that's an encylopaedia of "What can you do with flying basketball players?" gags. www.amazon.ca /exec/obidos/ASIN/B00009Y3RC   (1117 words)

Discouraged but not undaunted, Brainard heads to the big game anyway, where Rutland is soundly pummeling Medfield 46-3 by halftime, and where most of the folks blame Brainard for the loss of Medfield's star player.

Palm Students Throughout the lecture, I "type-down" everything the professor says, while the other students struggle with their pencils and pens barely keeping up with the professor's speed. At the end of the lecture, I go up to the professor, while the others still busy trying to copy notes, to ask a few questions and, using the built-in Notepad software, I write down his answers in my own handwriting so as to refer back to it whenever I please. Keeping track of college life is unbelievably easier for me. I schedule meetings, put my assignments on the To Do list (it's such a good feeling to finally clear that last To Do of your list in the wee hours of the morning), and keep track of my Professors when I have a question. www.palmsource.com /interests/education_student   (4985 words)
