<p>“OK, I guess I’m stupid…why is this funny? I’ve never seen this Tree of Life so why is this funny???”
I’ve been doing barrel rolls all night trying to figure it out… This is madness!</p>
<p>I used to watch DBZ religiously when I was a kid so I had to look up that particular scene that you guys mentioned. And I don’t get it. Why is it funny? How did it become an internet meme?</p>
<p>Anyways, in my management class there’s this one airhead. I don’t know if the guy is slow or what, but he’s constantly asking the dumbest questions. The latest of his questions: “what’s profit?” this is a business school. i hate finance. hell i don’t even like business much, but how the hell does a student get away with asking that in a class?!?! and he’ll constantly ask the professor to go back to something she said spent a few minutes explaining. students like that are frustrating.</p>

<p>The clip, “The Balls are Inert”.</p>
<p>Anyway. There’s one girl who’s asked who the subject of a painting is despite the powerpoint presentation having the name of the painting ([someone]'s Death) above it.</p>
<p>This same girl… well, our teacher asked the class why the Dark Ages were called “Dark”, and in all seriousness she answered, “Because the sun didn’t come up!”.</p>
<p>I don’t know if it’s just me or what but I can’t stand it when a professor asks an obviously rhetorical question and someone feels the need to answer it. Especially when it’s part of the lecture and answering it would interrupt, you know? Well, there’s thing one guy who is in two of my classes and he has the annoying habit of doing this. Repeatedly. And when the professor ignores his hand (or, if he was actually asked a question and calls on someone else) he yells out his answer anyway. Its especially annoying in my math class when the professor is working out a problem for us on the board and this kid yells out the answer half-way through. I don’t know, it just irks me beyond belief.</p>
<p>I wasn’t in this class, but my friend was telling me the other day about this girl in her animal nutrition class. The professor was talking about how it was important for animals to get enough nutrients as well as calories, because if they didn’t get enough energy from what they were eating, their bodies would start to feed off of their muscles and fat. This girl raised her hand and (seriously) said, “So, do their bodies TELL them that they’re going to do this?”</p>
<p>the worst is when students intentionally ask questions to reveal how well they understand everything in the class . . . that’s obnoxious</p>
<p>Teazer, that sounds so aggravating!</p>
<p>And silence_kit, I totally agree. I hate it when students do that. I guess I’m lucky; I only have 1 class where there’s a kid that does that.</p>
<p>

<p>i hate it too because sometimes the professor won’t move on until someone answers, and sometimes no one knows the answer because it’s what he’s teaching</p>
