Like many Mexican students in my class, one of my favourite pastimes during school hours is throwing things at the 4 fans that are running all day on the classroom ceiling. Of course this is strictly (unlike most of the rules here) forbidden, so it must only take place very secretly while the teacher is there or in the few golden moments each day that there is no supervision in the classroom. In Canada it is illegal for the teacher to leave the class unattended and maybe it is here too. These chances usually occur right after lunch or between classes if the teacher doesn't show up on time. Today we were waiting for a teacher and some guys casually started throwing paper balls at the fans, if you do it right they get hit by the blades and fired out in random directions. In about 30 seconds this escalated into throwing plastic pens and half full water bottles. The pens explode if its done right and the bottles give a very satisfying "WHACK." Soon my friend grabbed a huge piece of rolled up paper (2x4 feet) and launched it like a spear. It got caught by a fan blade right in the middle and doubled over, spinning with the fan. At this point the guy watching the door yelled that the teacher was coming, we all threw what ever was left in our hands and dove for our desks, screaming and laughing our heads off. The paper spear got fired out of the fan and just had time to get out of sight as the door was opened. The teacher walked in scowling and snatched a piece of paper slowly floating towards the ground. Of course there was no hard evidence so nothing happened.
