<p>we were doing a survey for some class freshman year where we asked random people in the hallway various Q’s about the country, varying from super-easy to super-hard. </p>
<p>we asked a senior girl, how many states are there in the USA?</p>
<p>she paused… and then said (not at all jokingly) “umm…52? right?”</p>
<p>these are some priceless quotes from just ONE of my blonde classmates…</p>
<p>Non-blonde: “you’re 1/8 Portugese?”
Blonde: “yeah.”
NB: “Hmm. Sure. And what language do the speak in Portugal?”
B: “I dunno. Spanish?”</p>
<p>uhhhh idiot. then another day she said…</p>
<p>“If I’m 1/8 Portugese, can I apply for Hispanic scholarships?”</p>
<p>w.t.f. oh and another one was…</p>
<p>Q: “What are rubber ducks made of?”
B A: “Plastic, duh.”</p>
<p>Blondes…tsk tsk. oh yeah, and one of my blonde mormon classmates asked… </p>
<p>“Can you take birth control pills if you’re pregnant? They won’t hurt the baby will they?”</p>
<p>and another classmate didn’t get the Mean Girls movie joke where the blonde girl says… </p>
<p>“I’m psychic. It’s like I have ESPN or something.”</p>
<p>how could you not get that. damn.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>According to National Geographic, 30% of Americans aged 18-24 cannot identify the Pacific Ocean on a world map.</p>
<p>So in 12th grade chemistry class (radioactivity) we were deriving equations, and the teacher wrote on the blackboard -</p>
<p>k = 0.693 / t
=> 1/k = 1.44t</p>
<p>And half the class couldn’t understand where the 0.693 went and where the 1.44 came from :-/ She had to explain it.</p>
<p>Talking of which, my physics teacher refused to accept that a ball thrown up is also in “free-fall” motion. :-/ He said the ball was in free fall only while it was coming down.</p>
<p>And my 11th grade math teacher couldn’t comprehend what a constantly changing acceleration was; that was while he was teaching geometric progressions and a question came up. :-/</p>
<p>Upto a few months ago, my sister thought DJs scratch CDs rather than vinyl disks on turntables :p</p>
<p>whats even more annoying is when these dumb people get in to better colleges than the other smart people in the class.</p>
<p>There was this one girl in my AP English class who always said the stupidest things. such as…</p>
<p>When Studying Crime and Punishment</p>
<p>“Russia is cold isn’t it?”
“Where’s the crime in this book?”
“Hold on Mr _______, I don’t see any punishment yet?”</p>
<p>When studying Invisible Man</p>
<p>So Ellison was white?</p>
<p>and the worst thing is that he teacher would never correct her. He would say… that’s nice ______ , anyone else.</p>
<p>end of the story, the dumb girl got in to Amherst while another girl who is smart, involved, and a friend of mine who had been dreaming about amherst for year got rejected.</p>
<p>My cell biology teacher explains to the whole class that almost no question is dumb. Except one. Fifteen years ago or so, she had a student who would doze off in the middle of class and then ask an intelligent question to let the class know he had woken up. Bear in mind that the name of this class was CELL BIOLOGY. So one day this guy raises his hand in the middle of a lecture about electron transport and ATP production and asks, “So does this, like, happen in cells?” My teacher felt like screaming at him.</p>
<p>A kid today during my APUS test asked if we were supposed to put the answer to question number 1 from the multiple choice section into the row of bubbles labeled “1” on the answer sheet. Same kid asked (after we completed the 5 survey questions that were on the page) if there were any more questions.</p>
<p>When I was in a freshman physics course, my TA said that when you throw a ball up in the air, the acceleration due to gravity at the ball’s highest point is zero… <em>rolls eyes</em></p>
<p>The #2 girl in our class this year didn’t know who our US Vice-President was until we told her this year. When we thought she was kidding, we asked her who John Kerry and John Edwards were; she didn’t know. Then we told her that they ran for President and Vice President in 2004…her response…“So that is why that sign was in my yard!” … Dead. Serious. Heh :)</p>
<p>
HAHA, I love that one.
A girl in my class once asked if Israel was in Africa. </p>
<p>And another Blonde girl in my school was trying to act cool and meant to say “Keep it on the DL” but instead said “Keep it on the LD”…I thought that was pretty funny. </p>
<p>Oh, and once my mom made dinner of an actual fish, like not cut up, and my sister comes up and says “WOW! LOOK AT THAT CHICKEN”.
We still tease her about that :)</p>
<p>Oh, and I know someone who asked “Was Hitler a Jew?”</p>
<p>And my world history teacher asked one girl to spell school and she goes “S…C…O O L”
And he told us about another girl he had earlier who spelled Europe as “Your Up” and he was trying to explain something to her, and asked her for her initials to her name to prove a point or something. So she starts “Shelly”…and he writes a huge S on the board. Then her middle name started with O…and her last name started with B. He couldn’t write the B before he went outside and laughed…SO hard. It was funny. And the girl never understood :)</p>
<p>LOL! That 1812 question was on our state standardized test! </p>
<p>There is this incredible ‘dumb blonde’-sih girl in my class. She asked “Why are rocks so hard?” and various other things. Its annoying. All of this in Spanish class. Oh here’s another one.</p>
<p>We were going to present our spanish poems (hers was about a poodle who gets eaten by a burrito. o_O) and before she started she just had to tell us about what happened to her this morning. “I was walking down the hall and I can’t believe a teacher told me I had a weird dress! Its a skirt, duh! Do you guys like my blinky ring?” Yeah… dumb blonde-ish… with brown hair.</p>
<p>Actually sarorah, Hitler WAS a Jew. :3</p>
<p>I made a comment this morning that I think is worthy of this thread.</p>
<p>I thought it might help to get a really thick-leaded pencil to fill in circles faster for the SAT, so I got this weird SpongeBob mechanical pencil with .9 lead. Someone asks me why I’m using the SpongeBob pencil, and I say because it has really thick lead. She asks if it’s point-seven lead. Trying to exaggerate to show how large it is, I say, “No! It’s like, point-seventy lead.”</p>
<p>I realized my idiocy about 2 seconds after I said it</p>
<p>.70 > .7</p>
<p>good job ^^</p>
<p>Lol… yea… those CrAzY decimals, eh?</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>last year in ap history we were having a class discussion about abortion and how they took place back in the old days… you know, with coat hangers. well, one girl in my class was stunned by how painful a coat hanger in the belly-button would be. poor thing, she thought they aborted babies through belly-buttons.</p>
<p>Is it just me… or does the phrase “aborted babies” sound weird?</p>
<p>I said something really dumb once. It just came out wrong but in US Hist AP I was trying to explain why Abe Lincoln’s disease wouldn’t have let him live much longer anyway and I accidently said, enthusiastically, “Yeah and that’s why he died so young!” My US Hist AP was the most amazing teacher ever and loved me. All she managed to get out was, “No, honey, he was shot in the head.” At that point the whole class about died.</p>
<p>Oh yeah today in the review session I, once again phrasing is not my specialty, I asked, “What exactly is diagonal anyways?” Yep I sound like a dummy but I’m really not.</p>
<p>Atleast you can stay stupid stuff you’ve done yourself… heh.</p>
<p>I’m trying to think really hard, but I can’t come up with any. People in my school must be boring…</p>
