7days will become famous soon enough. Eventually. Maybe.

I worked as a substitute teacher a couple of years ago. One week, they put me in charge of an AP physics class. Now the class was pretty much ran itself, withh all the kids doing various self study and projects. So I told them, "Keep doing whatever it is your doing." Apparently this was the chance they had been waiting for. I'm not really that into science so when one of the kids started working on something in the back of the room, I just figured it was the continuation of some project he had been working on. Turns out he was building a 6-foot tall very well insulated Van de Graaff Generator. When he fired it up, he just walked away from it. At the end of class he left without turning it off. Now, at the time, I had no idea what a Van de Graaff Generator did, so I just walked up to it to turn it off. I don't remember much after that.
