Ok, so I go to Michigan Technological
University. One of the lecture halls in the Fisher building,
Fisher 135, has a movie put on every Friday and Saturday night
by the MTU Film Board. In the time between the opening of the
lecture hall and the showing of the movie, all these stupid
slides with all these useless facts, like the number of
left-handed people who die every year because of their using
right-handed products. So anyway, one of these slides says:
"Human birth control works on monkeys," and that stuck with me
for some reason.
So I'm at dinner with a couple friends
at this bar called The Library, and one of the guys in our
party (whom I don't like very much) decides to ask another one
of the people (who's my roommate) some stupid biology
questions, because my roommate is a Biomedical Engineer. Then,
the biology conversation continues for a long while, and in
the meantime, me and Matt (another pal of mine) just sit there
with stupid looks on our faces, because we know absolutely
nothing about biology.
Eventually, it spins around to
monkeys: something about the difference between their DNA and
ours. So, that stupid phrase pops into my head, and I tell
Matt, "Human birth control works on monkeys!" He misshears me,
and says loudly, "Human brain control works on
monkey?!"
And the rest, my friends, is history.
