El Santo against Pippo Biardi

El Santo one day figured out that he could not win alone against the evils of modern society. He decided that he had to build some sort of lethal machine, possibly with some nasty chemicals inside, and with that he would have a better chance to succeed. However, he soon figured out that his education in Scientias Politicas did not give him sufficient expertise to accomplish his new objective, even with his master thesis in "Estudio de las herpes a las mammellas ne la epoqua pre-colombiana". He then went on internet to search for a course that would give him the knowledge he was missing. He soon found himself on the site of the Politecnico di Milano and found a professor that was teaching unit operations of chemical plants names Giuseppe, Pippo for friends, Biardi. What better way to reach his goal while being anonymous than learning the subject and then building his own plant to produce the chemical machine he needed? So he called the guy to have an appointment, collected all the money he had, took a plane and ended up in Milano. The next day he went to the appointment; he briefly explained that he was extremely interested in the course, however unfortunately could not move to Milano for the lectures; would it be possible to take the course from Mexico? Pippo looked at him, thought for a while and eventually said "if you reach the flash point, and x power 250, with x in Rn, can be approximated with a Fourier series to y, of course... well, cum grano salis, natürlich". El Santo was stunned for a second; then he thought that perhaps his request had not been clear enough because of his poor English, and Pippo interrupted him "Yes, I noticed that your English is not exactly proficient, and this is a great disadvantage for an Engineer. Personally, I believe an Engineer should talk at least English, French, German, Latin, Greek and perhaps a bit of Aramaic aut Esperanto, you never know". El Santo was starting to feel sick and started sweating; Pippo saw this, took out his hanky, blew his nose, wiped his mouth and then offered it to El Santo to wipe off his sweat. El Santo kindly refused the hanky and Pippo, puzzled by the refusal, said "As my friend Nusselt said, Enthalpy? You must be NUT! This, needless to say, before he was invited to Marghera at the Petrolchimico, ate some funny muscels coming from a pipe with a foul fouling coefficient - ahah, nice one, the foul fouling coefficient! well, and then he really went NUT and started bothering Deborah, Give me your number, Deborah, come on!". El Santo was at this point completely frightened, so he stood up, looked around and decided to jump out of the window. Pippo was still sitting in his chair while El Santo jumped; well, that was already the fourth this month...
Thanks to Alina for the great idea; and greetings to Pippo Biardi, whose lectures I actually enjoyed.
