What's the craziest thing you've ever witnessed in a lecture?
I think I just experienced mine this morning: A202 - Managerial Accounting Professor Susan Keenen, who at 40ish is still georgeous, but insane. Imagine a hot 40 year old woman who used to be a cheerleader, still kind of acts like one, teaching an accounting class. So she wants to talk about making Baseball bats, and the production processes that go into them. "We need 4 ft. of wood to make a bat," she instructs, then she whips out a 4 ft. board. Nothing special here: Profs love Props. "But I'm not trained very well, management has decided to save money by cutting back training programs, so I don't know how to saw this wood very well." She then brings out a saw, not your run of the mill saw, but an electric miter saw (or something similar, either way a big fucker). Damn she really loves props. No, she didn't stop here, she puts the piece of wood on a chair, and begins to saw the fuck out of it... in a 200ish person lecture hall (a nice one for those who know IU, BU119). The saw is fucking loud, and spraying sawdust all over the place, students are sitting in the hall looking over at each other like "what in the living fuck is happening in our accounting lecture?" It doesn't end here. "But I'm not trained very well, so I don't know how to clamp this thing down, so I need assistance" So she pulls a student out of the audience, and makes him stand on the piece of wood, on the chair, while she continues to saw away at it, about a foot away from his leg. She then takes one of the chunks of the pieces she cut off the board, hammers it into the end, and calls it "a bat, a finished product." I have no idea how this happened, we were all in awe. |

Nice thread. I can't really think of anything to reply with here, hmm....
Ah, my Psych prof discected a Sheep's Brain on the overhead projection camera thingy for us all to see. That was pretty weird I thought. My religious studies prof, every lecture would come in with a can of Tab and a plastic cup to pour it in. Halfway through the semister he had a small heart attack and didn't teach for a few weeks. We all liked him, so when one of the kids heard about his heart attack, he bought (from God knows where) a case of Tab and brought it into the class as a tribute. That was something... My History prof my Freshman year was the craziest guy I've ever met. An absolute genius, but he was super-eccentric (you know the type). Anyway, he didn't have a driver's license, so he rode his bike everywhere. He had a badass expensive bike too. Because it was so nice, he'd always walk it into the building, and down the ramp of the lecture hall and keep it up front by him while he lectured. A few weeks into the semester after I had him, he had a brain anyurism (typo) while he was riding that very bike, and died in the hospital a few hours later. Lawrence Birken. Best prof I've had here. -Ugly Bastard |

G'd up from the feet up.

I had an epileptic professor have a seizure during class one time. He had warned the class in the beginning that it was a possibility, and it just so happened to become reality. It was friggin' crazy. Some other teachers were trying to hold him down and he shook them off like rag dolls.

Creeping around as I please nonchalantly like any other Supreme Emperor might.
