Weirdest Class

Click on the linked title and read this article I found today. Pretty interesting course titles. Then I started thinking, what was the weirdest class I took? I guess mine would be an upper level Poly Sci class I had called- Popular Culture. In it we discussed pop culture and icons. Each semeseter the professor chose a different figure to dissect. For my semester? John Wayne. So between all the movies we had to watch and Wayne bios it made for a lot of interesting discussion about the Duke and American values. It always amazed me that he was the ultimate cowboy but sucked at riding a horse. Any crazy classes for you guys?

i have to say that i really didn't take any weird classes....that is unless you count ALL of my major classes. those advertising professors were total freaks.

i did take a history class (at least I think it was) where we had to watch movies from different eras of the 20th century. god i loved that class. we met once a week and watched a new movie. everything from the grapes of wrath to the invasion of the body snatchers to network. i probably learned more there than anywhere else.
