there is also the difference between dry lessons and dry humour. =^_^=

Oh, thanks, I get it better now, it remember me to something Jules Verne wrote in Journey to the Center of the Earth about the classic teaching style of german professors
Am pretty sure he had a german professor that sacked him as young

either that, or he knew someone who did...

hm, I should dig up some old stories by Verne some day. he wrote interesting stuff in his days. :)
