3-idiots: miss takes

So you've seen the movie, read my previous post about 3 idiots. Its a
fun movie, alas with many not-so-well-thought-of miss-takes and am not
talking about slip-ups. These are mistakes in the very story of the
movie.

1. Raging a senior: So Aamir knows conductivity. First of all that
prank isn't all that original. Its been used in many colleges
especially IITs, Jadavpur etc for years. They make you piss over the
heater. Try doing that. Don't worry you won't get electrocuted, cuz
you'll automatically stop peeing as soon as you get the first jolt.
That apart, he shocks a senior. That's a death sentence in most
colleges. You do not get away with that, esp in a college where they
can make you strip openly. They get back at you, gag you up and beat
the shit out of you. they might as well give you the same treatment as
you gave them (read electric shock). The only way you can escape that
is by tying up with the particular seniors rival, if there is any.
Again chances of that happening are low as it is. You cannot rag a
senior esp not on your first day in the college.

2. The Quad-Copter

The cute little versatile helicopter you see in the movie "designed"
by Joy. The design is called a quadrotor. It was invented way before
the movie's apparent timeline, around 1923. Check out Quad Rotor on
Wikipedia
Now I don't understand how it was an original idea. Its been there for
years, even in the robotics field for years. I also don't understand
what Aamir did, because apparently he did nothing. I hope he changed
the direction of rotation of 2 of the rotors to opposite that of the
other two. But again that's not so apparent.

3. Cellphones, guys, cellphones.

When they go to get the papers from the office, Aamir calls using the
principal's office phone. What the hell happened to cellphones. I mean
he's careful enough not to grab a paper later and run. He neatly opens
the seal, xeroxes the paper, replaces it and seals the package, but no
cellphones. Hell no cellphones. Why use a cellphone to call his
girlfriend when there's a perfectly suspicious and tracable landline
phone right ther. give me a break

4. No Generators, are yo kidding me?

So ICE is the top college in India, dragged from #28 to #1 by His
strict highness, Mr. Veeru Sahasrabuddhi, but I'll be damned, the
hostel doesn't have a generator. They have to use an inverter made
just to get the lights on. I mean, you got to be kidding me. No
generator in the top college of India. Even our college has a
generator.

Also add to that the fact, that when the city is knee deep in water,
eletricity out, ambulance services out, the internet connection works
just fine.

5. And ofcourse, forget Defibrillators and respirators, just say "Allizwell"

So you can revive a dead child just by saying Allizwell. You got to be
kidding me. ROFl. Go to a graveyard and say Allziwell 3 timesand
you'll have a nice army of zombies at your disposal.

Am I the only one, who thinks this is crazy?
