DISCLAIMER:\u00a0<\/span>The answers below are legally accurate, but don’t be misled.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why such a strange spelling of your last name?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Good question.<\/span>\u00a0Actually, the spelling is quite normal. Some genuine English words have the\u00a0‘TS’<\/span>, for example, MiTS<\/span>ubishi or\u00a0TS<\/span>unami. But many telemarketers who call me hang up before I do: my last name drives them nuTS<\/span>.<\/span>
\n<\/span>“In the aftermath of this flood of lachrymose leave-taking, this\u00a0ts<\/span>unami of\u00a0ts<\/span>oris, observers of cultural phenomena are obliged to judge the art of quitting.”\u00a0 (WILLIAM SAFIRE, Resigned to Quit, The NY Times, December 23, 2002)<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, you are a professor, but what do you do for a living?
\n<\/span><\/span>Good question<\/span>. I recently opened an Inverse IRA and am tapping into it. An Inverse IRA works just like a regular IRA but the other way around: first you get to withdraw money from it, and you contribute to it when you retire.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wait a minute, this Inverse IRA sounds interesting. Are you sure it’s recognized by the IRS?
\n<\/span><\/span>Good question<\/span>. I’m not really sure, but the IRS isn’t either. Since the tax code grows faster than anyone can read it, I figure I’m safe.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why did you choose the University of Akron?
\n<\/span><\/span>Location, location, location.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why study Electrical Engineering?
\n<\/span><\/span>Good question.<\/span>\u00a0There are many benefits. For example, you’ll learn that a light bulb isn’t the opposite to a heavy bulb. Many other useful practical things as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why is electromagnetics so boring?
\n<\/span><\/span>Good question.<\/span>\u00a0It really isn’t. The truth is that it only\u00a0seems\u00a0<\/span>boring, for the first 20-30 years, and then you get used to it.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Most Frequently Asked Question: how are you doing?
\n<\/span><\/span>Good question.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Not particularly too bad.<\/span><\/p>\n

Is there life after death?
\n<\/span><\/span>Deathinitely!
\n<\/span>But after death, you don’t eat or drink, and you don’t get to study electromagnetics (not to mention other things).\u00a0 You call\u00a0that\u00a0<\/span>‘life’?<\/span><\/p>\n

What is Faraday’s Law?
\n<\/span><\/span>Good question<\/span>. The answer is in this\u00a0skit<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>(Never Give Up!)<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

How do I make money?
\n<\/span><\/span>Good question<\/span>. The answer is in this\u00a0skit<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>(New Ventures)<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

How do I get a job in the ECE Department?
\n<\/span><\/span>Good question<\/span>. The answer is in this\u00a0skit<\/a><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>(Doctor Oooooooh).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What exactly is hi-tech?
