They also show a scene where the two of them are on a dinner date and the professor gives the supermodel a present which she unwraps to reveal: the Dungeons and Dragons third edition Player's Handbook!  I have to admit I was a little excited to see D&D on TV, since it usually is invisible in mainstream culture.  Also, even though it was implied to be kind of geeky, it was put forth in a positive light in the sense that it is associated with "brains" and they professor of nanotechnology that ends up marrying a supermodel in a marriage of "brains and beauty."</p></blockquote><p></p>
