Nomination Year: 2007
SYNOPSIS: A brilliant college professor decides to put his cutting-edge alchemical knowledge to the test, and discovers/creates the philosopher's stone. Hijinks ensue when it develops that the philosopher's stone has a powerful effect on people who have been exposed to it (um ... duh), and might (or might not -- it's unclear) be sentient.

I've Heard of Academic Freedoms, But This Is Ridiculous
While Professor Adams is obliviously writing at the blackboard, his students steal his most-secret notes, photocopy them, and put them back. And all without him ever suspecting.

Worst Science
The Harmonic Reinforcement of the House of The Rising Sun
The whole introductory alchemical ramble here is a great example of bad science. Harmonic reinforcement? OK, maybe I can buy that. Electromagnetic radiation not being part of the scientific mainstream? Mmmm, nope. Sorry. The Alpha Force? Uh-huh. Gotcha. I think I read that comic book.
