Toga... toga...!

That's what my Classics professor was wearing to class today! (Hallowe'en, of course!) Well, a toga and a t-shirt. Just so happens we were up to the last century BC when Gaius Julius Caesar was making his move on Rome. So Dr. Bauschatz played the part of Caesar, expounding (with the usual humor and PowerPoint slides) on "his" famous conquests in Gaul and Spain, friends and enemies in Rome, his suspicions, and his ultimate demise. Yes, he was stabbed right there on stage by three of his toga-clad teacher's assistants ("et tu Lauren?").

And there was candy, too... tossed among the 500 students by TAs - only as a reward for sincere laughter. He's a cool prof and makes learning fun. They really oughtta clone him.

That's great. Sounds like Professor Jeff dressed up today, too. Check out his Facebook status comments.
