Take the biggest science fiction nerd you know. Merge that with your most pompous college professor.

Congratulations, readers. You’ve just created Dr. Ronald Chevalier.

Dr. Chevalier, the author of such masterworks as “Cyborg Harpies,” “Brain Cream” and “Brutus and Balzaak,” offers his tips for “relaxating” in this video.

There’s more at the author’s Web site, which urges visitors to take advantage of his “basic wisdom in all things.” You can listen to excerpts from his novels and peruse his paintings — including “Bisontennial,” which depicts buffalo being abducted by a spacecraft.

Dr. Chevalier happens to bear a striking resemblance to Jemaine Clement, co-star of HBO’s brilliant “The Flight of the Concords.”

But I’m sure it’s just a coincidence.

SPOILER ALERT:

Turns out that Dr. Chevalier’s web site is actually a very clever promo for the movie “Gentlemen Broncos.”

It’s the latest from brothers Jared and Jerusha Hess, the guys who brought you “Napoleon Dynamite.”

“Gentlemen Broncos,” which hits theaters in 2009, follows a teenager who attends a fantasy writers’ convention — only to discover his idea has been stolen by an famous novelist.

Stay tuned!
