I have decided not to become offended about your crack at my profession.  And 
I won't retaliate (unless you tell me you are a lawyer!) <vbg>

I suspect that either JKR  1) had a bad experience with a super boring 
history teacher (I think we all probably have-I know I did) or  2) she just 
succumbed to the stereotype (i.e. Ben Stein in Ferris Bueller's Day 
Off..."something d-o-o economics, voodoo economics."  zzzzz)  

As for Binns......remember she said that we will hear more about why people 
become ghosts.  Perhaps he has a VERY interesting life story which is why he 
chooses to lead a very boring afterlife.
