My AP history teacher liked to make up stuff. But like, he'd say he made it up right after telling the made-up thing.

TIL I’m your AP history teacher (just kidding, but I do enjoy recreationally lying to children)

Just like my old physics teacher. Heard stories about him telling the students, that Pd (Palladium) is named after him (his last name had the same abbreviation).

Also jokingly using the screen of a calculator as a scale for weighing metal ball bearings.

Was your brother my 6th grade history+english teacher who spent more of class time having recess or playing Risk (the board game) than anything else?

Unfortunately, I’m an only child. But I could ask my sisters whether they have any siblings who fit that description.

Or you could just lie and say that yes, that was indeed your brother.

I mean that's a great illustration of the importance of those primary sources in a memorable way, especially if you're out of school now and it's stuck with you that long.
