I put a powerpoint for science class on my USB flash drive. Brought it to school and put it into the laptop, which was hooked up to a projector. The whole class is watching; teacher has his gradebook out. I’m not the greatest with those laptop mouses, but suddenly, I’m about to open the powerpoint file when Media Player pops up and starts playing the original movie credits for “Ewok Adventure” (which I had downloaded at the Preservation section). I think what may have happened is that without knowing it, I clicked the “Open files in Media Player” button on the F drive pop-up. Anyway, the kids laughed, but the science teacher said he didn’t want to see any more video clips of “giant wookiees.” Instead of apologizing and saying that I didn’t mean for it to happen, I kindly informed him that it was a giant hairy monster (because there were no Wookiees on Endor at the time).

In retrospect, this was pretty bad gradewise. But it’s funny in a sad kind of way. At least now 25 more people know that there are 2 versions of the Ewok movies, because I was able to explain this before the teacher stopped me.
