La. Professor Goes on Rampage in Class (Said he was God)
LAFAYETTE, La. - A University of Louisiana at Lafayette physics professor was banned from the campus Wednesday and taken to the coroner's office for evaluation after threatening his class, university officials said.



Student Kacie Spears said professor Louis Houston lost control right after class began Thursday morning and was yelling obscenities.


"Then he told us if we got out of our seats he's gonna kill us. He went on the black board and wrote "911 now", so we were really in fear for our lives," Spears told KATC-TV.


Spears said Houston slapped a student and then told his class he was God.

1. Physics can do that to you...
But why to the coroner's office?

6. Maybe that's where the phsycologist is
In Dayton Ohio when someone owed child support they used to have to make the check payable to the dor cather because they didn't have a children services office yet.

Were they trying to figure out if God was dead?

Well, I guess a coroner is cheaper than a psychiatrist. :evilgrin:

5. Maybe they were going to open him up
and see if a "god"'s internal organs were any different.

I was wondering that myself.

or he just got it.
