"not much intellectual happening here"

Saturday's class with Dr. E got moved, and as seems to be the trend at UTD, some random person stumbled into our class about 15 minutes in and said, "Is this Fundamentals of Intellectual Thought?"

Dr. E didn't skip a beat in replying.

"Well, so far as I can tell, there's not much intellectual happening here."

OUCH.

She left (with her kid, who was tagging along), and then he turned to the class, chuckled, and said, "I was just kidding about that intellectual thing."
