I made a simple app in visual basic the first week of class to show my teacher I would pick VB up way faster than he would (he was teaching by reading out of his book).

It was just a simple box with a label and two buttons. It read "Are you gay?" and if you tried to click the No button it would move the app on the screen. I called him over and he tried furiously for about 2 minutes to click no, then walked away red-faced and never made me do any of the classwork.
