Apparently my horrible math instructor will be giving us all a problem involving the Millennium Falcon on Friday. I wish he wasn't such a god-awful instructor, because otherwise it'd be pretty great.

I had to explain what the Millennium Falcon was to the two girls sitting next to me. Heartbreaking.

I had a similar experience, but worse. Let's see if I can remember what happened:

I was in one of my college classes, either on the Book of Luke or Acts. The professor loads up a video clip of Luke's assault on the Death Star trench. The whole "Use the Force, Luke" part, if I remember correctly, up to the DS exploding. He then stops the clip and asks what this had to do with whatever chapter we were studying. Everyone turns to look at me, because I've always been the Star Wars Guy. I have no idea what this has to do with anything. I'm pretty sure I made up a pretty good thing about Luke using spiritual guidance to save the day, with Obi-wan being his Holy Spirit or something, the only reason I could figure anyone would show a clip of Star Wars at bible college. He said that that wasn't it. A couple others guessed, all of them wrong.

Here's why my story falls apart, as the shock of what he said kind of drowned out the point he was trying to make. I forget what he said because it ended up that he was comparing the church or whatever to the EMPIRE, and how the Rebels were outside influences trying to destroy us or somesuch. Keep in mind this is an Protestant/Independent Christian Church school, so it wasn't a "small Protestant Rebels fighting off the Roman Catholic Empire" thing. He compared us to the VILLAINS. Even the people who didn't know anything about Star Wars were shocked, especially since he showed THE DEATH STAR EXPLODING.

Strangest day of class ever.
