Remember Flubber? Weird tale to tell.

[Baitball Blogger]

I have one collector's Flubber card, which has absolutely no reason to turn up on top of my dresser, but that's where I found it just a few minutes ago. Really weird. I looked down and I see a face trying to appear through the Flubber card and for a moment I was startled when I realized is was Robin Williams' face. Completely forgot that was one of his many movies.

I don't know why I kept the card because I didn't get the joke that was printed on the back of the card, but I'm glad I have it now. I'm including photos here in case anyone understands the meaning of the card better than I do.

1. Oh. i thought you were talking about the real movie. Not that awful remake.

Yeah, I remember Flubber when it was called The Absent Minded Professor and then the sequel Son of Flubber.

3. Looks like Jeff Cruzan came up with it

For Flubber, the Studio retained the services of a University of Oregon chemistry grad student, Jeff Curzan, to provide a touchstone for realism on the set. It was Curzan who conceived of the chemical formula for Flubber, a variant on buckminsterfullerene: (Rb2Cs@C60-R)n. Curzan also assisted Williams with his dialog and reactions to the film's scientific disasters, all the while working on his thesis on a laptop. Filling in the blanks was Bill Nye the Science Guy, who coached Williams on classroom science.
