I had a high school chemistry teacher who was so fond of exuberant hand motions that once during organic chemistry class, he got so excited that along with his hand-thrashing he kicked his foot out causing his slipper to fly off his foot and onto the studious first bench girl.
But, that was then.
Yesterday, HT after a five-minute energized discussion on the avian and the human influenza virus strains pointed his finger dramatically and asked this - why, even though there are strains of influenza that commonly recognize birds and humans, does it not pass from bird to humans?
No one answered.
Come on, think..why why
I raised my hand and delivered Blah answer.
Hmm...not quite but close. Think think..why does this happen?
Ok. I raised my hand again. Blah answer.
No No! You're going too far. It's simply because of Blah..
And then he saw the expressions on our faces - the 'oh that's so obvious, we were expecting some mega answer considering the amount of anticipation you created' expression. He mistook it for doubt.
'Whaat..?' said he, looking like a kid who's balloon got burst by a pin. 'Do you not think that my hypothesis is reasonable? At least it's better that the answers that were given to me.'
:)..That's my prof.
