My teacher back then was in ww2. He actually was one of the army kids in the closer bunkers who were somewhat unwitting test subjects. He had a recording of him being interviewed after one of the first tests. He said he was 18 at the time. He said "I think this might just change the world" or something like it. I couldn't find the interview with a quick google. His last name was stocker. He was actually a great teacher in basic science the year before which is why I took honors bio but I zoned out memorizing all of the names of parts of sponges. The kids in regular bio were dissecting pig fetuses.
The man had a photo of an orangutan on his desk facing class with the name plate "moker joe". "An orangutan could get about 50% on this test", he'd say and walk around saying to the kids he knew weren't studying "Moker Joe's gonna get you Craig". Some of the smart kids pointed out to him that Moker would probbably get way less than 50% at random probability. "yeah but the kids moker's gonna get don't know that".
Anyway it's definitely more interesting this time around and only taking one class at a time.
