The Biebs was a big joke for a long time, but he has faded away into pop star obscurity – he appears in the rumor mags and on tabloid sites and on TMZ, but rarely elsewhere in the minds of most people.
Still, that did not stop one physics teacher from using Justin as part of a word problem that asks people to find out how fast he would be falling by the time he reaches the ground. You know, we could do this problem once, but that knowledge has been lost to time. At least two miles per hour, probably.
Remember the Name
You know Buzz Aldrin, Neil Armstrong, and a few others, but what about the very first man in space? His name was Yuri Gagarin, and he was from the then-Soviet Union, getting strapped into a big bomb that would make him leave the planet way before it was cool. Or, let's be real here, all that safe.
At only five-foot-two, that didn't stop him from carrying his huge cojones into one of the first rockets to leave the surly bonds of Earth. He completed one orbit of the world on April 12th, 1961, landing safely to become an international hero.
Not Most People, Anyway
Maybe you have pants made of newspaper cartoons; we do not know. But, for the most part, this teacher is correct – kids think they are so sneaky, but they are as transparent as the glass in your living room sometimes.
Once you hit your thirties, you start to realize you didn't really get away with anything – teachers and parents just decided they had to pick their battles if they wanted to get through the day. They want you to pay attention, but fine, go ahead and text. Only three more hours until school is over. Then they get to go home.
I Am Always Watching
Students getting up to funny business is a common problem for many teachers, but one guy had the solution figured out. All it took was a grievous injury to his eye – so bad that he needed a fake peeper – and the students behaved much better when he left.
Does that hurt? Maybe it does the first couple of times. We bet it is a good time the first time he gets to do it for a new classroom. Nobody will disrespect a man who scoops out his eyeball and puts it on the desk to intimidate you. You are now intimidated.
Tell Me to Come to the Office Now, I Dare You
That's a lot of duct tape. Actually, good thing there's a lot of it because we imagine “being hung from the neck” was a worry during this event. An event it was! This was the principal of a school, and for every dollar you donate, you get a piece of duct tape to stick to the wall, keeping this administrator stuck there for, we assume, the better part of a week.
That is certainly one way to raise money for charity. He doesn't look so happy though. Maybe over the holiday break. How about a month? A month sounds good. No more assemblies, at least.
