(Off-topic: I once had a kid give a final presentation in my class where he spent like half the time talking about how, if we'd never had a Cold War, we'd all be living on the moon. He was supposed to be doing a presentation about issues of development and democracy in Egypt. See, when your students go blah blah blah Moon, it's relevant. Anyway, kid had the misfortune to be named Steve...so immediately after his presentation, I actually got up and played the class Eddie Izzard on Lies. Probably not my most professional moment ever.)
