TIL that the Snake Lemma was proved in an 1980 romcom

@counting_is_hard Can we just appreciate how bad an example of teaching this is? Cramming a major result into the last minute of class, ignoring the questions of the lone student who's even *kind* of understanding what she's saying. Just tell the students to read it out of the textbook at that point.

@counting_is_hard As far as I know, this is the only documented proof of the snake lemma.
