I have a teenager's sense of humor, so one of my favorite First Amendment cases to teach is Yeagle v. Collegiate Times, in which Virginia Tech's student paper identified a university staffer as the “Director of Butt Licking" -- and the staffer sued for libel.

Radia Perlman told the perfect story about how engineers come up with solutions before understanding the problem:

'I got pee on it.'"
