I wish I had a science teacher as cool in high school

Science to me as a history major is just alot of math, and then some good stuff behind it, but you have to pass the math first (which I could never do). These stories were hilarious, and showed me that science could be interesting if presented correctly. This past semester I took my first science course in 6 years - Intro to Physics! Like Steve Silverman, I have a professor who is hiliarious and makes the topics interesting enough that I muddle through the math to get to the good stuff. Here's to an excellent book that with humor has inspired many!

Stevie "The Rock" Silverman is SO COOL!

When I was in 9th grade I was told by my teacher to read a book of non-ficiton. I spent minutes in the library searching for the perfect book. Suddenly I came upon Einstein's Fridge. I was stunned. I though this was great. Abook that seemd good and would take no time to read. Also it is known to little I could just make up the stories to my teacher and she wouldn't know. It was at this time that I found out that the book was written by a teacher in my school, Steve Silverman. I didn't realy know who he was, but by his book I could imagine he was the coolest. For months all I did was carry aroung his book dreaming of the day I could neet him. Finally the day came. When I walked into class on the first day of school I was nervouse. When it came time to go to Silverman's class I was nervouse. Walking into the room a sense of astonishment came over me. The first time I layed eyes on Stevie I almost fanted. COuld hardly imagine that this adonis would be my teacher for the whole year. Usually in class it was hard to pay attention to "The Rock" but there was one thing I did pay attention to. When "The Rock" told us he was coming out with a new book I almost cried. This was the news I have been waiting for my whole life. A few months later the book was out and I got my copy. The first thing I did was run to Stevie's room to get him to sign my copy. upon arriving I found my idol entangled with another. My heart was broken. I dropped the book and ran from the room. I thought my life was over until the next day. While handing out the tests, Stevie looked down at me with a smile. I turned away as he handed me the test. Just then I felt something strange. I looked down to find my book. I opend the cover to find an inscription from Steve. What he wrote is to personal to share but what I can tell is it was amazing. Reading Limburg's Heart has changed my life greatly. This is the greatets book I have ever read.
