Awesome teachersTeachers have been getting a right kicking recently and it's not fair. So, let's hear it for the teachers who've inspired you, made you laugh, or helped you to make massive explosions in the chemistry lab. (Thanks to Godwin's Lawyer for the suggestion)

PMGT just reminded me!I had a science teacher who for reasons best known to himself, taught an entire form of boys how to build a still. As in an alcohol making still. How effective was his teaching technique? 30 years later I can still remember you need a huge beaker to hold the mashed fruit or vegetable mixture you've allowed to ferment, then a fractionating column sealed to the top of that to catch the vapour that is boiled off when you heat the mess to exactly 78 degrees fahrenheit.

78 Centigrade.If alcohol boiled at 78°F, bars, breweries and distillieries would go absolutely mental on a hot day.
