Everyone knows that professors can be a little eccentric. It‘s a stereotype that every college student can attest to. Combine this eccentricity with off-beat and specific topics or strange analogies and things can get pretty weird. Here are some examples of weird things our professors have said, but taken completely out of context. Enjoy!
