he might as well go to flying the space shuttle lessons or quantum physics for professors

it's the most useless he will ever feel in his life. totally useless. The only saving grace is when they ask:

He can then do it with a flourish and say "I name this baby humbert" apart from that, there is nothing useful man can do in there.
