Had a fifth grade teacher who was real big on conspiracy theories and that sort of thing. He said: "hold your arm up to the TV screen and change the channel. The hair on your arm will stand on end. That is from radiation going in to your arm. It goes in there and stays, it can't get out." Did I say he was a teacher?

I had a math teacher in grammar school who thought pi=22/7 exactly. He was within a percent, but it's not exactly. Another teacher, of English, thought that the definition of a sentence, being a "complete thought", could be used as a test to see if a bunch of words strung together was really a sentence or not. This was 45 years ago, seems the schools back then were just as bad as today's...

Oh, and all those teachers hated TV.

Most teachers thought that tv was bubblegum for the mind.
