I knew Leon Varjian when he was a wild & crazy grad student. Last I heard he's teaching math in a New Jersey high school. Lucky students to have such a fun-loving, creative teacher! In 1996 he received the most prestigious award for math teaching.

Hasn't anyone seen the original Planet of the Apes?

I did--mid '70's wasn't it? It probably inspired Leon to pull the prank in Wisconsin. Thanks for making the connection.

That was the best part of the movie... the ending that left you in awe. I saw it in the 70's too, although it was made in mid 60's. Good clip - creative artist.
