That's a bit concerning, yes. I sense amusing stories.

You have no idea. When I say he reminds me of Vetinari, take Vetinari and add slightly less-subtle sarcasm so his meaning gets through to us, and a complete lack of shame. For example, he occasionally skateboards into the classroom just to get our reactions, then tries to fix a broken computer by surrounding it with garlic cloves and candles.
And all of this with a completely straight face. :)

I like this dude. I fear my crazy metalhead physics teacher has been out-awesomed. =( (That said, she did let us have a massive water pistol fight with the lab assistant...)

That is awesome.
We did, however, manage to persuade him to wear stilettos to demonstrate the effects of pressure in a smaller area. That memory will stay with me forever. XD

I had a chemistry teacher who was a complete pyromaniac. She used to make thermite and methane firebubbles for lols. Also exploding jelly babies, burning ethanol all over desks, and put herself in hospital by blowing up a flask of peroxide.

Did you get pictures!?


If we're branching out into chemistry teachers... One of my chemistry teachers managed to scorch the ceiling and set the fire alarms off by blowing up the books and folders of a particularly annoying former pupil. He also managed to set fire to every desk in the room simultaneously, and they all have massive burnt spots in the middle. He was organising a rather unruly class in a practical experiment, so he was having everyone do stuff together. The experiment involved heating some reactants directly on their heatproof mats with a bunsen burner Once they're done, he has everyone put their stuff away together. Everyone put your bunsen burners away, etc. This was fine, until he said "now pick up your heatproof mats", at which point the air got to the very hot desks and they all burst into flame.
Best bit? His name: Mr Burns.

Did this happen after you left school?

Har har har. The teacher in question left before I did (sadly, because he was awesome).
