At the time, I thought it was cool, in retrospect, I'm a little appalled. We also talked about the rumor (possibly created by our Reading teacher) that our school was haunted by a bunch of dead nuns (It had been a Catholic high school), and our teacher organized a "field trip" to the "haunted" basement of the school, which was wonderfully creepy, with the giant boiler and rows of old desks and general basement stuff.
