...bone-weary scientists had worked all night. But as they walked away from the lab, they seemed curiously reluctant to quit. They loitered in the cool dawn and stared at the eastern horizon. There, the pale glow of Venus marked the morning-as it has done so many times since man learned to recognize Earth's nearest planetary neighbor...
...Flubber. In The Absent Minded Professor, Neddie the Nut (Fred MacMurray) invented "flubber"-lab gab for flying rubber-and then put flubber in a flivver and flew. In this picture he turns flubber slubber into flubbergas and starts blowing flubbles. Infantile? Absolutely...
...Flubber. It's that man again-Neddie the Nut, that is. Remember him? In The Absent Minded Professor, the nuttiest science-fiction farce of recent years, Neddie (Fred MacMurray) invented "flubber"-lab gab for flying rubber. In Professor the professor put flubber in a flivver and flew. In this picture he turns flubber slubber into flubbergas and starts blowing flubbles. Infantile? Absolutely...
...whatever facilities they need at any school, without having to register or pay additional fees there. A Northwestern anthropology student, for example, can now sign up for the strong Egyptology courses at the nearby University of Chicago. A pharmacology student at Ohio State can use the bionucleonic lab at Purdue. Physics students will gain access to the biotron at Wisconsin. Besides specialized schools and equipment, students will be able to seek out star scholars-Iowa's Space Scientist James Van Allen, Illinois' Nobel Physicist John Bardeen, Indiana's Geneticist Hermann Muller...
...customers a kick. But there are others, and Walt Disney exploits almost all of them in this insuperably sappy sequel to The Absent Minded Professor. Remember him? His name is Neddie the Nut (Fred MacMurray) and he teaches chemistry at Medfield College. One day he blows up his lab and in the debris discovers flubber-the word means flying rubber, and the substance it describes repeals the law of gravity. In Son of Flubber he turns flubber slubber into flubbergas and shoots it through Big Flubbertha (a plastic howitzer that looks as if it cost at least 39,000 bubble...
