Being a college professor can be a challenge. Sometimes, you have to resort to craziness to reach your students, and that's precisely what Columbia University professor Emlyn Hughes did recently.

To be specific, Hughes stripped down to his boxers and started running around with a samurai sword. Hughes explains: "In order to learn Quantum Mechanics, you have to strip to your raw, erase all the garbage from your brain, and start over again. Nothing you've learned in your life up til now is in any way going to help prepare you for this... I've been tasked with the impossible challenge of teaching you Quantum Mechanics in one hour."

He definitely left his mark on students, who will never forget this lecture.
