Classroom Anecdotes - To Prove I'm Not Fast Asleep During Lectures  

Class Number One - Databases - In the middle of diagrammatically representing a simplified version of Facebook's database structure, a discussion breaks out on certain requirements between student number 1 (an annoying man who sits up front and slows down the class by asking questions, making comments, and being too friendly with the prof) and student number 2 (an annoyed student happening to sit in the same row as yours truly)...

Student number 1: You don't need friends to have Facebook. It's not a requirement.
Student number 2: We're not talking about YOUR Facebook account.
The rest of us: Did he just.......OHHHH BUUURN!!!!!!!! BOOM HEAD SHOT!

Class Number Two - Medical Imaging
The funny professor randomly inserted an American Gladiator analogy to explain Ultrasound techniques. American Gladiator. How often does a prof use CURRENT pop culture references, much less a show I happen to watch (and a show a bunch of us have attempted to adapt for ourselves here in our lowly apartments)? It was legend-that-thing-you-find-on-a-map-to-help-you-decipher-the-symbols-dary.
