Almost as good as the Gettysburg PowerPoint, it's Severus Snape's Potions Class PowerPoint!

ZOMG, I'm gonna die laughing from this guy. I've gotta send it to a few of my friends at work...

BEST THING EVER.

Actually my thesis advisor had a passion for powerpoint in his class lectures, so this makes me even more giddy!

Actually, an old VP at my school used to give presentations on All College Day about "best practices in teaching," and these would always be straight lecture flashy PPT things with blinking lights and moving pictures and poor contrast colors. It was amazing.

This Spring brought us a new VP in that position. She instead used Professor Moriarti's scheme, and I nearly died laughing. I had to leave the room. I didn't think I could explain it to anyone. I was also still recovering from sleep deprivation, which made it better for me, but less explicable to others.

Oh my GOD.

How did the VP use Moriarty's scheme? What, like in terms of the background and general format of the presentation?

Yeah, the stock background photo. It's really so bold that no one could ever notice the content on something like that.

BTW, happen to recognize the machine on slide 6 for the "evil weather machine"? I feel like I've seen it before. Too bad Google doesn't have a reverse image search, but that would involve more AI than we currently have.

No, I don't think I recognized it...
