At class today we were discussing how the greatest thinkers of this world have been school drop-outs. The teacher gave Newton's example- how he was sitting under a tree when an apple fell on his head and he suddenly "discovered" gravity. While the story is factually incorrect, it's what everyone all over the world believes.
My fanciful mind took flight. I thought of all possible things that could have fallen on poor Newton's head to make the story more interesting...
A scene flashed in front of my eyes- A teacher stands in front of her class of fifty, with rather stern looking glasses perched on her nose. Her forehead is wrinkled. With a serious expression on her face, she begins, "One fine day, a young lad named Newton was sitting under an apple tree when a bird flew above him and shat squarely on his head.."
Anything to make classes a little more interesting!
