The article just appeared in the Winter 2010 issue (see image above).

My remarks about &#8220;rising drug prices&#8221; in the US pales by comparison, although I don&#8217;t remember saying drug prices have &#8220;bollixed up&#8221; the health care debate.

The professor asked a question like &#8220;What benefits have computer graphics brought us?&#8221; I almost immediately blurted out &#8220;If it weren&#8217;t for computer graphics, we would not have seen the rings of your anus!&#8221; Of course, I was referring to the planet &#8220;Uranus,&#8221; whose name pronunciation has changed since 1988 (probably because of remarks similar to mine from school kids everywhere). Needless to say, after a stunned silence, the class broke into loud laughter.
