Chemistry teachers are crazy. Must be all of those fumes. Here are some great quotes from my current one:

"Now, let's all take out our calculators and touch them in that very special way that turns them on..."

"Hey, hey, look at me, I'm important! I'm a somebody too!"

"Now let's pretend... like I do with my friends..."

"We won't call them dumb, we'll use the politically correct term... synaptically challenged."

His Christmas tree that he still has up: "The Chemistree"

"And this kid- (pointing to last electron on the board) is the fat kid, so he doesn't get any ice cream. Tubby took too long to run back from recess." (don't ask). "No ice cream fo you!"

Yes, that's very cool that he's trying to have fun with you guys. At least he's not just another boring old chemistry teacher.

Come back and tell us what he's come out with lately Everlong.

Hee, let's see *scratches chin* I have to write these down during class.

Today:

"Okey dokey my sweet little pokies..."

On myths that we have to write on the creation of an element:

"Sometimes kids like to put me in their stories. Unfortunately, I always seem to end up being killed..."

Yeah, I'll post some more stuff on Monday, he's hysterical.

My chemistry teacher was pretty weird too. From the sounds of it, they must be related or something. We used to always give him crap just because he was so fun to mess with.

I absolutely adore those, Everlong! I'll share some similar (slightly more adult) ones from my physics teacher.

I don't have the quotes written down, but it's not what he said, it's what he did. We were supposed to experiment with a circular coil and a long, cylindrical magnet, pushing the magnet in and out of the coil. Needless to say, it looked very suggestive. The class fell apart laughing and he looked down his nose at us and said, "Dirty minds."

In a similar instance, we were supposed to rub cylindrical magnets with peices of cloth (the instructions actually said "stroke") and were told to "watch for discharge."

The same teacher was seen to be sitting on the back porch of his office, watching some children playing twenty yards away from him with a pair of binoculars.

Poor guy. If those were at all amusing to you, I'll try to think of some others.

Here's a few from today:

"Now, repulsion... and no, not the kind that women feel towards Uncle D." (That's what he calls himself, including Little Scotty D. He's about 6'3)

"Stop cheating, you're so bad at it. It makes me giggle."

"And 5 + 3 is..."

Bored voices. "...Eight..."

"Aww, I can't fool you guys!"

This is what he taught us today to remember the diatomic molecules:

H ave
N o
F ear
O f
I ce
C old
B eer

And something else I thought was funny:

I switched seats with a friend the other day, so now I sit in the back in front of two morons. They kept on arguing today about who was going to write notes.

"Now this is important, you might want to put it on a flashcard..."

"You do it."

"No, you do it!"

It was a formula that would take about three seconds to scribble down.

Me: "Jesus Christ, you guys are so (explitive) lazy."

*Little, whiny voice* "F*ck you."

True Americans .

I'm starting a course with this teacher on Monday. Should be fun- and I'll keep you posted on funny anecdotes.

this whole thread reminded me of 3 separate science teachers I've had! I miss them

So far it's been just the usual- sticking rods into magnets and moving them back and forth, drawing things on the chalk board that just so happen to look anatomically oriented, etcetera and et al. Oh, one new thing though- he's accused some of us of plagiarism. I'd take it seriously from any other teacher, but this one? It's just a hoot. He actually gives us outlines for our papers detailing what sub-sections each paragraph should contain. If we follow them, how are they not supposed to be identical? Anyway. I have this week off. Yay!
