Inventing for Dummies; Sixth Period, Thursday [ 07/15 ].

Congratulations, students. You've made it to the second week, and your reward is that you actually get to try to do something instead of sitting there, watching a slide show. Farnsworth was at the head of the class and on his desk were four large boxes, each marked with the name of a student in the class.

"The world," Farnsworth announced, "is ending. Again. It's probably all your fault, too, so way to go, cracker jack! You're also, Zombie Jesus help us, our only hope to be saved, but your options are limited. In each of these boxes, you'll find the few materials that, facing world crisis, you've been able to scrap together, and now you must invent something out of them to rescue the world from its impending doom."

"Collect your box and then pick which world ending scenario you're going to try to get out butts out of alive. You have until ten minutes to the end of the hour. When it gets to be that time, someone please wake me up, as I'll be napping, and we'll see what brilliant ideas you came up with."

And that was that. Almost as soon as he finished that last statement, Farnsworth's head was tilting back and he snored. Throughout the class, he was wont to suddenly wake up with an exclamation, usually a "Wha? Who?", look around to make sure everyone was working, and then drift back off.

He got all his best sleep in class, really.
