How old are you again?

An excerpt from a discussion from the Management and Marketing lecture:

Professor: Luca Paciolo was quite smart for that time: during the XII-th century.
Student: Actually he lived in the XIII-th century: he was contemporary with Leonardo DaVinci.
Professor: Oh well: lots of things have changed since I was in school.

… like Luca Paciolo’s life span, apparently.

    Teehee. Talk about getting his own facts wrong, he humiliated himself in front of his students too!

    There were only about 5 of us… out of which more than half were dozing… plus the Luca Paciolo thing was a sidetrack :P

    What I actually found amusing was the way he apologized. As if the last time he studied, LP used to be alive.

    Haha I bet centuries didn’t chance much since he was in school though ;) You have some funny teachers.

    ^ that was the funny part. Unless his looks deceived me (he looks around 55)… and he’s more like 700… :lol:

    LOL. I like funny teachers though. Even if they’re funny not because they want to be. Actually, that’s the best kind of funny teachers… :lol:

    … and that is one of the reasons I gave up on finishing the pedagogy course (which enables you to teach - computer science in my case). I’m always reliable when it comes to saying something stupid :razz:
