//Talking about a huge book of Physics and Chemistry constants from '86 Schafer: I'm not gonna spend like $185 on a book when the old one's 95% the same! And I've always got Wikipedia.

Schafer: So my chem teacher was completely incomprehensible. It was like "Vuh vuh vuh vuh vuh..." Now imagine a whole year of that! Gilad (imitating Peanuts): Wa wa, wa wa wa wa wa wa... //Later, about to discuss Newton's Law of Cooling Schafer: So anyways, my calculus teacher was HORRIBLE. We didn't learn ANYTHING. All I could understand was dy/dx. And maybe a little differentiation. So anyways, I take the AP, and I see Newton's Law of cooling, and I'm just like "Wha?" Yet somehow, here I am, teaching you about it.

Mr. Schafer: As a kid my father asked me why it was that when my hands are cold and I blow on them, they get warm, but when my soup is hot and I blow on it it gets cooler. That question bothered me for a long time. In the end I concluded that I had magic powers.

//Finishing up thermostats Vishnu: Mr. Schafer, can we test ours instead of theirs (motions to him and Lucas, then the other 2 guys who got something to work) Schafer: No! What do you think the word "team" means? //Later, after the other thermostat failed Vishnu (to other team members): If my design works, you guys owe me money! Schafer: But it won't cuz from what they've said, you designed it horribly. Besides, you already failed on the good one.

//While making thermostats Student: Mr. Schafer, how come we can't use the aluminum foil? Schafer: Cuz I'm using it to make mine! It I let you guys use it, you already think it works, and would just throw a sheet down and say "Hey, I'm done!" and I'd just laugh at you.

//After seeing groups' thermostat designs Schafer: So, 3 of these look like they COULD work. Out of 8. They all should work theoretically, but the universe just doesn't work that way. So I'm only expecting 3 to do anything. But, probably not all of them will, cuz you guys are gonna screw something up.
