I have had a bunch of crazy professors at JMU - I will name a few:
William O'Meara - Philosophy 101

Comes in the first day of class (my 1st class ever at JMU, 8am) and does a 40 minute monologue about Socrates and the Socratic commitment. Later in the semester goes on to tell us stories relating out of body experiences to what he "assumed what would be like doing acid, not that he knew (wink wink)" and how he fell in love with one of his female students, who he later brought to dinner to meet his wife. Nice guy though.
Johnathan Walker - Geography 200 : The Global Dimension

Like he was on coke the entire time, incredibly entertaining. Admitted to doing tons of it in the 80s on about 5 different occasions. Would run around the room and ask people questions the entire class. He went around a 200 person lecture hall on the first day of class, asked everyone in the class their name, then went back around and recited everyones name back (about 95% correct after 1 pass) - still knows my name 2 years later. The nicest person you will ever meet too - just an all round awesome / great guy.
Joshua Strozeski - Political Science 200, Current Issues (no longer with JMU)
1st white male to graduate with a doctorate in African studies from Howard University in 15 years IIRC, spent tons of time in Cote D'ivoire / other parts of Africa as a Peace Corps volunteer, informed on every current political issue known to man, runs long distance marathons as a hobby, and is only in his early 30s at the latest. His stories would make your spine cringe - he has probably seen more in his lifetime than 95% of us ever will. More notable ones include:
-when a sick girl died in his arms after being shaken violently by its mother.
-when he was chased out of a village at gunpoint after telling a man with full blown AIDS (in his 50s) to wear condoms with his 15y/o bride.

Why do people just post what they are thinking? Without thinking.
