That portrayal of the Penguin in "The Blues Brothers" was dead on target- as was the nuns ability to hurl erasers with the accuracy of a JADM at any head in the classroom who wasn't paying attention. I don't know if they were taught that before becoming teachers, but it wouldn't surprise me; they were every bit as charming as Gaius Helen Mohiam of the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood, although none of them ever asked me to put my hand in her box.
