// Dr. Pilloff tries to prove to the class that 2^n = e^x
Student: Can you prove it?
Dr. Pilloff: Yeah, I wouldn't give you something to prove that I can't.

Dr. Pilloff: Does anyone know why I never order tuna sushi?
Student: In the process of getting tuna, dolphins are sometimes killed.
Dr. Pilloff: Uh. No, that's not it. I mean, that might happen, but sometimes a few dolphins need to die for you to get your meal. I think it's acceptable. -

Dr. Pilloff: It reacts with the oxygen in the air.
Class: Ohhhh.
Dr. Pilloff: But what you could do is go into a room with no oxygen, hold your breath and cut yourself. Then your blood would come out blue. -

Student: And I don't believe in it either.
Dr. Pilloff: How about 5 points?
