Notes: Wolfgang Nobbledink was the world's most absent-minded professor. When he takes his wife to the movies he even forgets who she is or if they have seen the movie. He even forgets what side of the room the door is on. He invents a liquid which will melt him down so he can kill his wife and disappear. Only he forgets one little thing... to invent a way to turn himself back to human form. - Ger A.
