Season 11, Week 7, "Feckless"

THE FECKSProfessor Albert Smithson, chair of the Cryptozoology Department at the University as well as its only member, was in the middle of a long slump. Once a shining star in the field, he had been named “Most Likely to Find Bigfoot” by Missing Link Magazine, but that was years ago, following his groundbreaking paper on the coffee preferences of

This is feckingly awesome.

Thank you. Al is an academic con man whose main goal is to visit as many beaches as possible while doing as little work as possible. If you're going to invent a new species, why not fecks -- otherwise, the world will remain feckless.

Far fetched enough that academia would buy it. :) I believe Al was more clever than anyone gave him credit for.

Gotta applaud the degree of academic rigour that keeps one leaning towards beaches!

"Academic rigour" clearly doesn't apply to Al; he's more of an academic con man. Quantum physics clearly doesn't apply to real zoology, but why not cryptozoology, especially if you can spend a year bumming around tropical islands. I'm glad you enjoyed this.
