Re: True things heard at college.

"It is only in very rare circumstances that the angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees"

"A cylinder IS a two dimensional object"

Both of those said by a calculus professor. Also, in this same class, the ground outside was wet so everyone's shoes were squeaking. But this one student couldn't resist sliding his shoes back and forth to make them squeak throughout the entire class. So, the professor gets annoyed and says "I'll take off my shoes if you take off your shoes" and the professor actually took off his shoes and remained without them for the rest of the class. I couldn't believe it. Whatever works I guess.
