A California university professor has been charged with peeing on a colleague's campus office door.
Prosecutors charged 43-year-old Tihomir Petrov, a math professor at California State University, Northridge, with two misdemeanor counts of urinating in a public place. Arraignment is scheduled Thursday in Los Angeles County Superior Court in San Fernando.
Investigators say a dispute between Petrov and another math professor was the motive.
The Los Angeles Times says Petrov was captured on videotape urinating on the door of another professor's office on the San Fernando Valley campus. School officials had rigged the camera after discovering puddles of what they thought was urine at the professor's door.

Math geniuses are a weird lot.
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

Someone who understands differential equations is a math genius, by my math-challenged standards.

I'm having trouble following the above statemant, math challenged would be giving me way too much credit.bigskygal wrote:Someone who understands differential equations is a math genius, by my math-challenged standards.
I expect to go straight to hell...........at least I won't have to spend time making new friends.

The puddle at the door is the product of a calculating professor being pissed off.
