<p>Someone in a middle school class a while ago thought greece was in africa…</p>
<p>My all time favorite question, from the kid who went on to be valedictorian and now attends an Ivy.</p>
<p>In the middle of a chemistry discussion about redox reactions: “Hey guys? If I took a bear, and I put a bee hive in it’s ear, and I pushed it off the Empire State Building, do you think it’d get mad at me?”</p>
<p>Obviously a joke. :P</p>
<p>That does remind me, though, of a passage from a biology book that belongs to my roommate:</p>
<p>“If energy is released from a fuel all at once, it cannot be harnessed for constructive work. For example, if a gasoline tank explodes, it cannot drive a car very far.” -Biology, 8th edition</p>
<p>We were looking at astronomy photos, and this girl asks “are those real photos… or are they drawings?”</p>
<p>Any answer riddled with the word “like” tends to be stupid. I can’t help but smile to myself when “like” makes up 50% of the words in their answer.</p>
<p>I got two epic quotes, not questions! </p>
<p>First one was when I was outside I heard a girl say, “I hate it when it rains! It makes me wet. Why can’t it snow instead?!”</p>
<p>Second one was in class when the professor said, “What is 30% in decimal form?” and a girl said, “point third?”</p>
<p>■■■■■. “point third?” Wow what a failure. Did people laugh at her?</p>
<p>No. I’m at a hospitality school. We act professional. Haha jk. Actually no one really laughed and I’m not sure if people weren’t paying attention or they are just ■■■■■■■■ themselves. My school is pretty ■■■■■■■■…</p>
<p>Actually, mistaking number words like “three” and “third,” or accidentally saying 30,000 as three hundred thousand or thirty hundred, etc, are all symptoms of dyscalculia and if she had it, which you dont know, she could STILL have a higher IQ than you do.</p>
<p>Not a stupid question but a stupid answer…</p>
<p>(general question posed to class) How do you end poverty?
-(serious suggestion) Become vegetarian or eat less meat.</p>
<p>Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh??? As an international relations/economics major this insults everything I stand for, not to mention the fact that I love meat.</p>
<p>My friend went to a pre-dominantly Jewish high school, and she told me that in world history class when they learned about the Protestant Reformation, a girl asked, “Wait. There are different types of Christians?”</p>
<p>^^^^
As someone who went to school in South Florida, I can verify that this happens all the time.</p>
<p>But during my Freshman year of college, a Disney Imagineer came to speak to my class. (They are the engineers of new theme park attractions at Disney World.) He asked the class if anyone could guess how many animals there are engraved on the Tree of Life in the Animal Kingdom park. One kid asked:</p>
<p>Is it over 9000?</p>
<p>Probably the funniest moment of college for me so far. And the imagineer had no idea what was so funny and why everyone was dropping to the floor laughing.</p>
<p>He wasn’t stupid, but its definitely worth posting here.</p>
<p>In one of my classes over the summer: “What’s child labor?” Yes, this girl had absolutely no clue what it was. Oh, and this was the day before the final after several weeks of discussing child labor.</p>
<p>if quotes are allowed then:</p>
<p>Professor: “If you try from one direction and it isn’t coming then try another direction.”</p>
<p>Fortunately no one was immature enough to let out a “that’s what she said!” Bonus points for guessing the class and topic.</p>
<p>Physics…magnetism</p>
<p>I’m at a community college near the LA metro area and there is this girl in my biological anthropology class who raised her hand one day and blurted, “zomg, (yeah she SAID ZOMG,) are these diagrams for reals?” That was just the start of her daily routine. She asks hilarious questions the whole class, and the best part is she has NO idea how entertaining she is :)</p>
<p>“What’s a coma? Is it like a box you can’t get out of? Can people see you? Can you touch it?”</p>
<p>“I gotta bigger hand cramp than when Teddy Roosevelt wrote the Declaration of Independence!”</p>
<p>Both have happened in my senior year of HS with both seniors stating the quotes.</p>
<p>Asked in class…“So what time of year is high tide”</p>

<p>OK, I guess I’m stupid…why is this funny? I’ve never seen this Tree of Life so why is this funny???</p>
<p>“It’s over 9000” is an “Internet meme.” 
It’s just a reference to a particular DBZ scene. Just Youtube/Google it if you’re curious.</p>
