The most kick ass history lesson ever
Ok. For my history 1 class, our homework is: Listen to Alexander the Great by Iron Maiden.

No, I'm not kidding. We were given lyrics sheets and told to look it up on youtube.

My teacher is a young woman. I can image her going to Iron Maiden concerts in college. Drunk, of course, during and afterwards. That image is burned into my mind.

Heh. listening now.

Awesome.

Aw man. We had an assignment to watch Legally Blonde: The Musical.

I dropped that class.

Hey Run to the Hills  is already a much more accurate portrayal of the Westward Expansion/Indian Wars then whats generally taught in the regular curriculum.

I remember my high school chemistry professor who melted a hole in the sidewalk with an ill-conceived demonstration of thermite.  That was pretty entertaining.

Haven't had any outlandishly awesome professors since then, though. :(

we did rocketry in high school science class one time. since i was the only person in that school with a basic understanding in aerodynamics it was an easy win. since it was twards the end of the school year we spent the next day goofing off with larger motors. needless to say there were a lot of explosions that day, and the school was banned by the faa from launching any more rockets (the school was right in the approach path of a small airport). nothing like watching your teachers get in trouble.
