Had a history teacher insiste that people can't live without clothes on. As in, you actually fucking due quickly after getting naked.

Biomedical engineering professor teaching an entire course on how DNA in its natural state is not actually a double helix and that Watson and Crick were wrong. The guy spent decades of his career after getting tenure pushing this crusade of his. It was a great class and I loved it.
