IT'S OFFICIAL : CHEMISTRY LECTURES ARE A YAWN.
October 9, 1995

A scientist has come up with proof of something students have known for years -- chemistry lectures are boring. In an article published in the current issue of Chemistry in Britain, a university chemistry lecturer introduced a guest lecturer to a class of 50 doctoral candidates.

Then, he and his colleagues studied variations in what he calls the HTFDR -- "head-to-floor distance reduction." After about an hour , the average HTFDR dropped from 135cm to 121cm, said the author of the study, who preferred to remain anonymous.

The HTFDR immediately bounced back to normal when the speaker uttered the magic words: "And in conclusion . . ."
so who is doing chemistry in uni? :p

Umm one question based on that, why did the Head-to-floor distance reduction drop from 135cm to 121cm shouldnt it be the head-to-floor distance dropped from 135cm to 121cm, and the Head-to-floor distance reduction would be 14cm.

LOL, if this is trialled in NSW then rather than 135cm to 121cm, we won't even be able to get much of a measurement :D

reduction = just another word for calculation with heights, it is surveying jargon
