Who was your craziest / most interesting teacher(both)

Mine was my Year 10 Science Teacher Mr Mcgee, He was always encouraging us to think about every aspect of the world around us. To question everything.
He was always coming out with Phrases such as, ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny?
And he often quoted Professor Julius Sumner Miller, "Why is it so?"

He was social sciences Professor. He was way too old and had obvious signs of Alzheimer's. He couldn't see, distinguish between us, hear properly..and he had this handkerchief he blew his nose in then wet it to wipe the board.

He also brought a dagger once from the ottoman empire. No one was paying attention to his lesson and all sudden he got the dagger out and started waving at us.

@Miram I was laughing read that. You would go to his classes wondering what silliness would this Geriatric get up to next.😄

@Gusman I loved the guy. Also no one ever scored higher than twenty percent in his class.

He done great works in his youth. I think it's good he was allowed to teach. He passed away two years after that.
