<p>I’m in the Honors College at this cruddy state university. One of the kids (a political science – 2nd semester freshman) in my English class asked our teacher, “Does the thesis have to be in the first paragraph or can I have it in the third?”</p>
<p>So on a scale from 1 (dumb as hell) to 10 (not dumb), how dumb was this question?</p>
<p>3, I’ve heard dumber. But in college that is a pretty bad thing to ask. In high school, one of my friends asked how we cited cliff’s notes and the teacher about imploded on the spot.</p>
<p>Here’s some blonde dumb from high school too: One girl managed to ask all of these questions. She never made it to college.</p>
<p>“If you slip on the driveway b/c it’s icy you can’t sue the house, b/c that’s nature’s ice. Can you sue nature?”</p>
<p>“Why are dinosaur eggs soo big?”</p>
<p>“If you smoke and drink at the same time, can you explode?”</p>
<p>I have to keep a look-out for some more dumb questions b/c this could turn into a great thread. As soon as I remember the one in my chem lab lecture I’ll put it up. Hey even tho I cheated try to keep the dumb quotes in COLLEGE unless they’re really good.</p>
<p>LOL…some1 asked me what a sunflower seed was…and then acted befuddled when he heard the word pistachio</p>
<p>I always liked this girl at my school who asked if the Cold War was called taht because it was during the winter…</p>
<p>There was this one time when somone tried to argue that smoking wasn’t bad for your health :p</p>
<p>You know the thesis can actually come in later paragraphs? 
… but still the question was ridiculous.</p>
<p>that’s a pretty bad question to ask in college.- 2.</p>
<p>One girl in my class asked where “Caucasia” is after asking what a Caucasian was on a standardized test (yes, she is white…)…that was pretty dumb…Another dumb question that a girl asked was “Do we have a governor in Colorado?” in an AP Gov class…UGH, some people…</p>
<p>Here’s one. </p>
<p>my AP US HISTORY TEACHER (yes, TEACHER) told us that Paris and France are two separate countries.</p>
<p>She wasn’t kidding.</p>
<p>That’s not a dumb question. The thesis doesn’t have to be in the first paragraph.</p>
<p>But it’s still ridiculous. Had he asked if it could be in a later paragraph, it would have been okay… but he specifically asked “first” or “third” … like the third paragraph has anything special about it.</p>
<p>And the Caucasia thing was really funny, haha…</p>
<p>i thought the cliff note was funny…</p>
<p>8th grade history test:</p>
<p>1 of the questions: In what year was the War of 1812 fought in?
a) 1923
b) 1810
c) 1812
d) 1800</p>
<p>and 5 people got it wrong… dumb canadians (no offense to canadians… im canadian! but i wasnt one of those 5)</p>
<p>one girl in my history class was like “hitlers in jail right?”</p>
<p>HAHAHAHAHA… Wow…</p>
<p>haha, these are great…i heard last year ppl in the apush class im taking now were talking about zachary taylor’s presidency and the teacher was like…he was never elected president and seemed absolutely sure of that until he looked at the little president timeline on his bulletin board and was like…“oh never mind”</p>
<p>ROFLOL thats hilarious</p>
<p>Some girl from another school, at a debate, asked this question:
“What gives the Supreme Court the right to judge?”</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>HAHAHAHA…that’s one of those questions that kinda (maybe) seems logical in your mind when you are in the middle of a debate…but its just rediculous…</p>
<p>On a sidenote about “Caucasia”, we actually looked that up in English class once…apparently Caucasia is some region in Russia</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That’s what Andrew Jackson said before pwning the Native Americans.</p>
<p>We onced asked our friend who Steve Urkel was.</p>
<p>his response was “wait, who? steve urkel? is he in our grade?”</p>
<p>Completely serious too</p>
