The weather. Tomorrow, expect a biting cold front. Hmm, how naughty. I wonder what I'll be

wearing or taking off. The night will be wild and untamed. Expect heavy, lashing rain

that'll soak you to the skin. By Monday, temperatures will rise slowly but surely reaching

their peak in the afternoon.

Not in the mood for miserable weather?

Fly cheaply to Turkey with Sun Express.

Sun Express, nonstop sunshine.

It started off as a regular day for Dr. Jersey Naman back in 1939.

The Polish mathematician, statistician, was teaching his first-year graduate-level statistics class at the University of California in Berkeley. Jersey was a genius, establishing

the statistical philosophies and practices that many scientific tests are still based on today.

He'd published books, devised methods, and was considered an expert in his field.

Now he was a professor at one of the best universities in the world.

His class that morning was attentive and eager to learn, and so he started the lesson.

But 20 minutes later, the door burst open, and a student, a young man, rushed to his seat.

Jersey was annoyed, but continued on with the lesson, discussing two equations for statistical

theorems he'd written on the chalkboard. The young man scribbled in his notes furiously,

and the class was dismissed soon after.

A few days later, the same student knocked on Jersey's door.

He apologized that his homework had taken so long and asked if the professor still wanted it.

Jersey was confused. He hadn't said any homework for that class.

Assuming this student was just a slacker messing around,

Jersey told him to just leave the paper on his desk and he'd get to it eventually. Like most professors, Jersey's desk was made of a mountain of papers, one that would take him weeks, if not months, to get through. The student did as he was asked and then left. Neither of them thought any more of it. That was until Jersey finally got around to marking the paper nearly six weeks later. The professor read through the supposed Slacker's paper and then read it again.
