Professor Wexler Fun Facts
Which Professor Wexler do you mean (book, show, game, or universe)? If you’d like an invented fun/obscure fact instead: Professor Wexler secretly keeps a scrapbook of the marginal doodles his students make in lecture — he believes recurring motifs in those doodles (like a tiny ship or a single looped knot) hint at the next big insight in his field, and he once used a student’s repeating ship-doodle to name a theorem after it.
Obscurity Level: Obscure
Professor Wexler composes all his first drafts and proofs on vintage manual typewriters — he insists the clack-and-carriage-return rhythm helps him 'hear' gaps in his reasoning, and he won't transfer a proof to digital form until he's given the typed page his little blue 'approved' stamp.
