Dude your an idiot.

Well, not really friends, but here are some stupid questions this one girl has asked:

"Does it snow in space?"
"If you stood in Antarctica, would the blood rush to your head?"

Both of these in an advanced earth science class in high school.

In culinary school, I heard this quote come out of a fellow student..."Wait, so let me get this straigh. Bacon and ham come from the same animal." I responded in the appropriate for our school way of, "Ryan, go to your idiot hole."

Blood traveling back to the heart is blue.
I am not fucking with you. I had to debate with them for almost an hour. Their reasoning? Veins are blue. Blood is blue because it has become de-oxidized. I was the only one in my group of around 10 people who are all B or A students to say this was total bullshit.

"Dude glass is a liquid that's why old panes are thinker at the bottom"

my older brother tried to convince me of that once, so I told him to follow me, grabbed a glass and a baseball bat, shattered the glass, turned to him and said "liquid doesn't shatter, you're a moron."

but the stupidest thing I've ever heard someone say was when I was about... 8. I was just coming out of that Titanic movie and I heard some guy in front of me say "That was so sad... I had no idea the Titanic sank..." the worst part was that he wasn't being sarcastic, he was actually crying.

Funniest I remember is a girl once arugued there is 54 states of america one being canada the other being puerto rico. I also convinced her I won an olympic gold medal in 1984. I then explained that this was impossible due to no time travel. she said then how did you do it? I anwsered time machine. This was 7th grade and to this day she still thinks puerto rico is a state. We are Juniors now.

I'd say that Puerto Rico is essentially a state, but missing the legal status. After all they're subject to U.S. jurisdiction and sovereignty, and its current powers are all delegated by the United States Congress. Plus Puerto Rico is represented in the United States Congress by a nonvoting delegate.

I say we combine North & South Dakota into one big Dakota and fill the gap with Puerto Rico.

All of mine are from one girl in an AP class of mine. Why she was taking an AP class is beyond me. They need a little bit of explanation, too.

"Is ebola an immune system?" After discussing infectious diseases and different systems in the human body.

After discussing some dam project for Canada, discussion over a few issues arose. Mainly, displacement of large amounts of natives, such as the Inuits, and the flooding of an area as big as Germany. Now, of course, this girl says something like,"What? Why are they even making it then?"
The teacher, obviously confused, replied,"To supply the residents of Canada with cheaper renewable forms of energy..."
This girl, with all sincerity, says,"But there's only like four people in Canada!"

I can't remember the story, but she thought Ethiopian was a religion.

Also, without even making an "In Soviet Russia!" joke, she said,"In Russia, if you say anything bad about the government they will come and kill you!"



I wonder if she passed that class...

Find this girl now! She's exactly what we need to show the importance of contraceptives to youngsters when having sex. Just have her talking, and underneath, have one of these two slogans:

A) With contraceptives, she wouldn't exist. It's a good thing.

B) Contraceptives - Because we don't need anymore of these around.

I had to convince my friend that milk came from cows...no joke...i guess she had seen something on TV showing milk coming out of metal vat sorta things

American Girl #2: YOU *****! YOU DIDN'T TELL ME THEY HAD DIFFERENT MONEY IN CANADA!!

Wait, Canada has different money?

 

[Anarchemitis]

"I don't believe in the concept of a hot drink."
Not a clue.

Well that can be an overtly smartass comment if taken into context.
Physics dictate that nothing is actually hot, things just get less and less cold.

Wait, Canada has different money?

The Canadian Dollar. It's worth slightly more than the American Dollar, at time of post.

In my freshman Global History class, my teacher was reviewing forms of government. She asked "What is the governing system of our country", being that my district teaches American history every year except for 2 years, I figured that was probably the stupidest question my teacher could ask. She calls on one girl, who answers, "Monarchy." I wanted to cry.

This past year, in my English class, as review for our final, the class split into groups and wrote down all we remembered from each book we read this year. We went over 1 book a day for the last couple weeks. On this particular day, we went over Night (by Ellie Wiesel), a first-hand account of the Holocaust. The girl next to me asked, "Which war did the Holocaust take place during? World War I, right?" She was in AP Global History, and my history teachers don't believe I'm intelligent enough to take the AP class.

 

[Smokeydubbs]

one of my friends was plahying his gameboy, got a drink of water, and then asked where his gameboy was. It was in his hand.

Dumbest thing I ever heard

I've done things like that. Usually with my glasses and any hat that I've been wearing all day.

It's been a long time since I've heard something so stupid that I actually remember it past the day I heard it. Currently, in one of my classes now, there is a girl who sits behind me who spouts out the answers, problem is she is wrong 98% of the time. It's a math class so there's lots of times for her to be an idiot. You would think summer semesters would weed out the idiots and be filled with people trying to actually graduate in 4 years.

 

[mike1921]

Less of a stupid thing to have said but more an epically stupid act.

An old aquaintance of mine got a zero on his french essay because the teacher identified it as plagerised. Said guy admitted that he copied his sister's old assignment.

The giveaway?

His sister's assignment wwas for a spanish lesson

Sounds like something I would do.......I don't like learning different languages.

I knew a guy who consistently called deionised water (chemically purified water, without ions in solution) deoxigenated water. Which is funny because that would be hydrogen gas. I always mock people for saying things like that, not knowing things that are supposedly common knowedge and trying to flaunt one's intellect and failing miserably. I guess it's a negative trait, because I come off as superior, which might or might not be the case, but still - I can't help myself. There are so many examples of people not being able to use simple logic in their reasoning that I'm somewhat perplexed.

For those of you who don't like clicking links, this guy (not sure if he's joking or just plain retarded) tries to explain death isn't real. And that all the people that are "dead" have become zombies. The reason they don't attack us is that they're either waiting for a good moment to start a war, or just lazy.

In my friend's class, this blond girl suddenly says during a history class (I swear to god this is a true story!)

"Wait... the earth is round?!"

She then goes on to say

"That can't be! I am sure I have heard something, about someone falling out over the edge of the earth"

I call shenanigans. No one thinks that.
I did once know a girl though that boasted about having an I.Q of 50. That was amusing.

You sir, are wrong [http://www.alaska.net/~clund/e_djublonskopf/Flatearthsociety.htm]

Despite the fact that it's a pretty obvious satire, I laughed so hard at the page claiming "proof". Thanks for that.

As for my contribution, a response said with absolute conviction and seriousness in regards to the film Air Bud:

"Air Bud? Don't you mean Air Dog?"

well I have been shadowing this site for a while *original came here for Yahtzee* and I had to make a account just to reply to this thread.

It happened in school during biology I was a junior, it was about 3-4 hours after the towers fell on 9-11 *I remember watching it happen in my algebra 2 class, on the teachers 3 inch mini TV* well the teacher decided to let us talk about what happened as long as we stay calm and respected each others views and opinions. After a bit we started talking about the fact that the goverment was going to declare war, and the cheerleader captain seriously asked, "Why do we have to go fight them in the desert, cant they like just come here to fight the war?" I swear to god the class was just frozen for about 10mins. I looked over at my friend and he had this look of just complete awe on his face, looked at the cheerleader and said "Heather its people like you, why I have no faith in humanity anymore.". The teacher at that point just started to laugh his ass off.

Spent a good hour one day arguing with a friend of mine watching some TV game show. One of the questions was whether a ton of feathers or a ton of lead weighed more, she couldn't get her head round it.

The thing that immediately comes to mind is the many instances of someone saying that Obama is a muslim terrorist. I like in South Carolina, so there was a lot of that.
