@hannahbanana: Wow, talk about sending contradictory messages.
@dan: I know people like that! Sometimes people move or something, and life goes on as normal, and then in the most random moments, you realize that you miss them.
Does anyone here watch TED Talks? I recently discovered them and now I'm addicted. Here's a good one: Derek Sivers: How to start a movement | Video on TED.com |

catchtwentythree---My AP Bio teacher just showed us one about quorum sensing today that was really cool. I saw a few on the site I want to watch but I don't have time...
My AP Bio teacher (formerly my soph chem teacher) is also the head of my school science club, which focuses for part of the year on science writing. We had to find a quote from a science writer which makes the article vibrant and bring it in. Someone brought in a quote about how people are intimidated by science because (I paraphrase somewhat) "the average high school chemistry teacher, if thrown in the ocean, would scare away the sharks." The whole group cracked up- especially my teacher, cuz this phrase just totally EPITOMIZES her.

Bestowing upon this thread a much-deserved BUMP!!!!
Anyways, I just remembered this today, but it was pretty funny:
Last year in Honors Geometry, all the guys in the class would always gang up on this one other guy, and for the whole year, the other guy was the so-called scapegoat of the class and would always get made fun of and blamed for for everything. So one day, some people in our class decided turtle his backpack (turn it inside out and put all his stuff back in), just for laughs. This actually wound up becoming a frequent occurrence, to the extent that the guy would just turtle his own backpack ahead of time and wear it to school and have the other guys unturtle it.

@Hannahbanana
I love AP teachers. They're all quirky and weird and (usually) hilarious. My school's AP Chem teacher acts like she's on crack 24/7.
@elf4EVA
Oh my God. Epic!
Funny story of the day:
Today we asked my math teacher if he had a girlfriend in college. When he said no, we were all like, "awww...why not?" He said, "because I slept with my math homework." As everyone cracked up, he added, "and my favorite number was 69!"

AP teachers...mine`s on something all right! Jeez, I think she scared some kids away from applying because she has this stigma she`s mean, but she`s funny!
@catch: HA! Wow  That`s SO funny!
AP STORY OF THE DAY:
Actually, there wasn`t anything incredibly funny, besides the fact that the kids who I talked about earlier, you know, the one who acts reallllly mature? Yeah, I actually carried on a full conversation with him when we were sitting next to each other in the computer lab...liek normally he`ll just give one-worded answers, and weird looks to anybody who isn`t completely serious, and I only got 5 weird looks! An improvement! It`s his goal to become dictator of the world...long story.

^Wow. The 8-year-old daughter of my APUSH teacher is supposedly like that. (My teacher tells us stories.) She originally wanted to be the dictator of a 3rd world country, but now she's aiming to be President of the United States.
My friend saw her at school once and said she looked really intimidating. Glasses, cold stares and everything.

Hmm. Well that`s interesting...good ambitions for an 8 year old. I have a guy in my WHAP class that is one of those serious math and science guys...goes to a special program for math and science and everything, and it`s his dream to work for NASA and then become the youngest president.

I wonder what it's like to think in numbers and code. Do computer specialists code in their dreams? Do math & science people look at the world from a strictly logical perspective? Do numbers just make intrinsic sense to them?
These are deep questions.

Probably. Who knows? It`s like, "How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie-pop?"
The world may never know!

^Actually, we did that project in AP Stats.

I guess that probably proves true for the math and science people too.

Gotta bump this to the top, been too long.
My AP class.....no, just no. You don`t even want to know. The funniest class ever.
Today I went to open the door so someone could come back in, and as I started to shut it, someone else was coming back in too (couldn`t see them) and they ran in, so the door pushed me back and almost hit me in the head.
We all laughed so hard. And on paper, it doesn`t even sound funny.

This made me crack up today:
Q: Why can’t atheists solve exponential equations?
A: Because they don’t believe in higher powers.
