(We’re taking a calculus final. The TA is a well-known Lord of the Rings fan, and we’ve had running LotR jokes all semester.)
TA:
“Okay, guys, everyone look at me. We’ve been over the rules, but just in case: no notes, pencil your answers in on the scantron sheet, and graphing calculators only – no more ‘can I just used my cell phone’ nonsense.”
Student:
“[TA's name], my calculator batteries just died! What should I do?”
TA:
“Here, I’ve got a big box of spares.”
Student:
*struggling* “I can’t get this packaging open…”
Student 2:
“Here, I’ve got a pocket knife.”
TA:
“And I’ve got a pair of scissors if you need them.”
Student 3:
*from the back of the room* “OR MY AXE!”
(Everyone starts laughing.)
TA:
“The only axes allowed on the exam are in the graph section.”
(Everyone groans.)
TA:
“Oh, come on, you’re in a math class. Deal with the math jokes.”
(The professor enters with a stack of exams. With him are two exam proctors.)
Professor:
“Tolkien jokes already, [TA's name]?”
TA:
“Hey, I didn’t start it.”
(The professor starts handing stacks of exams to the TA and proctors.)
Professor:
“But I’m about to finish it. [TA], take these exams down the left flank. [Proctor 1], follow the desks down the center. [Proctor 2], take your exams right, along the wall.”
(At this point, many of the students have realized where this is going:
Theoden’s lines from ‘Return of the King.’)
Professor:
“Forth, and fear no problems! Solve! Solve, students of calculus! Points shall be taken, scores shall be splintered! A pencil day! A red-ink day! Until three thirty!”
(The professor pulls out a pencil, holding it out like a sword, and runs down the first row holding it out. Students hold up their pencils, hitting his as he passes.)
Professor:
“Solve now! Solve now! Solve to good grades and the class ending! MAAATH!”
Entire Class:
“MAAATH!”
Professor:
“MAAAAATH!”
Entire Class:
“MAAAAAATH!”
Professor:
“Forth, exam-takers!”
(The entire class rises to their feet and gives him a standing ovation. A week later, we get an email from the professor.)
Professor:
*at the end of the email* “PS: I appreciate all of you who wrote in their evaluations that I was the one professor to rule them all, but the best one yet was the student who called me ‘Mathrandir.’”

Actually,  the photographs are spaced ten years apart, not sixteen.

1912 to 1922.

The young, homeless (but no less dapper) wanderer shown in the first survived the sinking of the Titanic and swam to the shores of West Egg. There he built a life and a large, empty house, in an effort to win the heart of the wealthy, upper class woman he’d fallen in love with a decade earlier and had been separated from against his will.

He shed his earlier identity, and changed his name to reflect his new station. Jack was now known as Jay Gatsby, the eccentric millionaire who threw parties every night in the hopes that one day his love would show up and spin with him as they had long ago in the dance hall of the lower decks.

#and he still ends up dead floating in the water

holy shit

And then, at the beginning of Inception, he starts out washed up on a shore.

still no oscar

Leo’s entire film career of unrelated projects has better continuity than glee.
