The Enigma Thread

Yeah just reading it isn't really a skill. The few that really know it well I admire.

There was a guy here for ABC named Dr George Fishbeck. Who actually had a degree in meteorology. That was a long time ago though.
 
I wonder how hard it is to get a degree in meteorology like harder than law school?

One of my cousins liked meteorology a lot. But he didn't want to take the math to get the degree. A shame cause he really loved it.
 
Going back to school after you get to a certain age feels like the least fun idea even though I loved it when I was younger for the most part.

My teacher told me that if I was going to go for my Masters do it right away or I'd never go back. He was right.

Yea my high school chemistry teacher told me to get my doctorate or I never would. He was rigjt,
 
I didn't need anybody to tell me. I just presumed, from about age 16, that I would go for a PhD right after college.
 
Did either of you have an old crazy nun as a teacher?
 
My 6th grade teacher was beautiful...26 years old...long dark hair, tan. I saw her on FB now and she's 60 but she looks really good still (obviously older but not very different from when she was younger...still attractive and in shape).
 
There was an English teacher in my high school who was old (actually, only in her 50's, but that seemed old to us at 16) and everybody thought she was crazy. We thought that because she seemed to have no social life and was obsessed with English literature, in particular women authors from the 19th century. She could go on about Mary Shelley for half an hour. Everybody thought that she was what we would call today asexual, except for a few students who claimed she was a lesbian.

Years later, in 1993, after she had died, when talking to my favorite math teacher at our class's 25th high school reunion, I learned her real story. She was engaged to be married in early 1942 and had sex with her fiance just once, the night before he was shipped out to North Africa as an infantryman. Upon getting the telegram that he had been killed in the battle of Tobruk, she had a miscarriage and collapsed. She never touched another man again. She thought of her chastity as a tribute to her dead fiance.

So, presuming what the math teacher told me was true, was she crazy or not?

Crazy is always an arbitrary thing. Whenever you don't follow the norms some one will say you are crazy. But it's good not to be a carbon cut out of everyone else. Thats what makes a life a life. :bounce: So no I don't think she was crazy just different.
 
Yeah we're all crazy in some ways...but crazy doesn't mean bad just different. We're all crazy/different in some ways or else we'd all be robots. But interesting/sad story too.
 
What that incident taught me is not to judge people by appearances. She had a much more interesting (and tragic) life than anybody realized. Only her friends among the faculty knew her real story.
