<p>Oh my god, someone didn’t know that people in Bahrain don’t speak Chinese? Really? I can’t believe that. Geeze, most people don’t even know it’s a country.</p>

22

<p>

</p>

<p>Are your implying that Cambodia isn’t civilized?</p>

23

<p>in history class, talking about a future history essay:</p>

<p>“is it a good idea to bring in historical evidence that we learned in lecture to support our thesis???”</p>

<ul>
<li>no you’re supposed to make up your own history -</li>
</ul>

<p>

</p>

<p>Sorry I didn’t make it more clear. I should have said that I think Cambodia is a cesspool of blatant human rights violations, extensive human prostitution and slave trafficking and drug production and trafficking, rigged elections and horribly corrupt judicial system, basically no freedoms of speech, and terrible living conditions for the vast majority of its population.</p>

<p>Prove to me there is no rust on this fine automobile</p>

26

<p>a girl i knew said this “isn’t zeus jesus’s father?”</p>

<p>my god i have never heard people laugh harder.</p>

27

<p>^ Oh my God…</p>

<p>We were talking in government one day, and a guy who is renowned for asking dumb questions says:</p>

<p>“Well, the orphans, you know, in their orphanariums and whatever…”</p>

<p>I cracked up so hard. Orphanarium is from Futurama, apparently. </p>

<p>But this guy actually though that “orphanarium” was the correct term… </p>

<p>My friend and I looked at each other and just lost it.</p>

<p>He was just so serious about it… xD</p>

<p>

Lawl, I admit I’ve never heard of it before this. But if you know where it is, it should be fairly obvious that they do not speak Chinese.</p>

29

<p>@pink, i didn’t get it because your dialogue said you need to POUR 70 ml, not HEAT 70 ml in the same beaker. otherwise you could use any size beaker with the appropriate scale.</p>

<p>so i was reviewing the protocol for my research professor with a more senior assistant:</p>

<p>her: make sure you are politically correct about calling immigrants immigrants.
me:right
her: because i’m not sure if you know, immigrants don’t really know much about the U.S. and it’s actually really hard being an immigrant, with their bad english and stuff. you don’t want to belittle them or hurt their feelings…
me:…</p>

<p>i told her on my first day in this particular lab, which was like a week before this conversation took place, that i immigrated here several years ago.</p>

<p>“Lawl, I admit I’ve never heard of it before this. But if you know where it is, it should be fairly obvious that they do not speak Chinese.”</p>

<p>it’s possible they confused it with Bhutan.</p>

31

<p>What did she expect you to call immigrants? Gaijin? Gwailos? Heathen-Americans? Undocumented filth-mongers? Irish?</p>

<p>Haven’t been around to hear anything <em>really</em> stupid, but I did hear something along the lines of “what’s the difference (between 8 and 0.8)?”</p>

32

<p>Person A: “You know, I don’t think getting shot is necessarily a bad Idea”
Person B: “Shot as in… by a gun?”
Person A: “Yeah, I mean, that could render you immune to intense pain, which would like make you invincible!”</p>

33

<p>Some girl: “So wait, Obama’s a Democrat, right?”</p>

34

<p>If you go onto facebook and look up the facebook groups of “overheard at [Insert school name here]” there are groups for each college with tons of really dumb things people overhear around campus</p>

35

<p>^I think there was a fb status update a while ago where someone said they were moving to Germany to escape Obama’s rampant socialist policies.</p>

<p>Let’s think about that for a moment and have a good laugh.</p>

<p><em>raises an eyebrow</em> </p>

<p>And of course no one here would ever say something “dumb” in college, right? :p</p>

38

<p>Not in college, but want to share it:
guy: (looking at a girl eating a bucket of KFCs) God, that isn’t human!
Girl who ate: o gosh I hope it’s not!</p>

<p>Student: Teacher? If I get above a 90 on the regents, will you make it my grade?
Teacher: If you get above a 90 on the regents, I will celebrate. I will get drunk. I will buy a big bottle of vodka…
Student: Can I have some?</p>

<p>Person A: So you split it 80/20?
Person B: Yea.
Person A: Why not split it 60/50?</p>
