Idiots, we all know one.

[Smagmuck_]

OMG, repeat thread alert! Who cares?!

Well, to share with the idiot or idiots I know, I'll start simple.
In my biology class today we were discussing cells and why they can't get any bigger. So, after my teacher explains that cells are small becuase of the slowness of diffusion, after about 30 seconds of silence, an idiot, which will be labeled 'idiot 1' raises his hand and asks; and I'm not making this up folks...
"Does paper have cells?"
*mass facepalm*
Another one happened the same day, while we were in PE 2, our teacher had us play dodgeball or in this case, "Jail-ball". You get hit, you go to the other side of the coart and wait for someone on your team to lob a dodgeball over to you, and if you catch it your back in. Well, after many close incounters with 'speeding red balls of death', and I mean REALLY close, the guy next to me, who is the TA is out, and that rarely happens people. Well, has he is walking acroos the court and is about 2/3 of the way there a person on the other team throws a ball at him, and it hits him in the face, needless to say, the thrower got a taste of his own medicine and got his ass knocked to the ground by everybody on our team, including eight shots to the face.
*facepalm*
*luaghter*
*ownage*
Well, I would like to know if anybody on the escapist knows and idiot and can share a story why they are a complete and total idiot...

I feel that the paper question was a reasonable question to be honest. In math, the teacher would explain a question on the board then this girl that used to be in my class would say, 'Really!' - No not really he just wrote it on the board fur teh lulz0rz.

They regularly send me messages on Street Fighter 4 after I beat them easily. Hahahaha. I'm so cool....

After a long history lesson about the french revolution, a girl in my class asked:
"Is this in the past or now?"
*Mass Facepalm*
"What?! It COULD have been the past..."

A classmate said he didn't understand cos, sin, and tan (said phonetically) to which I responded you mean cosine, sine, and tangent. He said "no, cos, sin, and tan (again phoneticaly)". My teacher and I laughed riotously while the rest of the class simply looked confused

in RE, we were learning about Capital Punishment.
A girl in my class raised her hand and asked:
"Could getting the death sentence, like, actually... like... kill you?"

I know lots of idiots, I don't let them get to me because I know lots of normal people too.

There was a kid in high school math who, whenever quizzed, would rub his right eye and say, "wwwwhhhhhaaaaaaa????" Every time, without fail

oh god, so many retards, so little time...
the agrument about the suns shadow is a highlight though...

given the ridiculous wait on death row? I'd consider that a legitimate question >_<;

When I was a senior, I had to take intro-level Biology to fulfill Science requirements to graduate. It wasn't cuz I hate science, I just don't really like biology and had drifted more towards Chemistry and physics.

During the beginnings of the Swine Flu scare in America, my biology teacher was attempting to explain the composition of "Swine Flu" and that the media has generally exaggerated the peril.

Several students, in one of the greatest examples of "no child left behind is bucket-o'-FAIL," repeated questions like: are we all gonna die; does it make you grow a tail; don't only Mexicans get it; swine flu kills more people than the flu, right? (These are high-schoolers, people!)
My brain proceeded to shut down to protect itself from the nega-intelligence floating about the room.

Some other examples: My history teacher ACTUALLY CONVINCED a room full of freshman that Swine Flu DOES make you grow a tail.

Said Bio teacher had taught in Britain, where elementary students once asked him in naive honesty: "Sir, why do Americans have such a hard time accepting evolution?" (Fail by America on that one.)

Oh, come on, there's no way.

OT: One of my self-proclaimed "friends" will constantly begin telling a joke and then just get lost in his own story and keep talking until somebody finally zones back in and laughs at the fact that he's still talking. Then, no matter where he is in the story, he'll laugh too and act like that was the punch line.

This friend also has a tendency to make inexplicably stupid bets. Like one time, he bet that we would get home at 3:21, and my other friend bet that we wouldn't; it took him at least another 5 minutes to say, "Hey, wait. You need to pick a time, too."

you have no idea how much I wish I was joking about that. the girl who said it used to be my best friend & super intelligent when we were younger and it was terrible seeing her say something so dim.

Your history teacher is a WIN factory.

Wow. That's really sad. I could picture a few people I know saying it too, though, now that I think about it.

That is one kick-arse teacher.

I remember going off topic in a chemistry lesson and ending up talking about world war 2 (alotropes-phosphourous red vs white-napalm-vietnam war-america in wars-late arrival in wolrd wars-ww2).
Dim girl: World War 2? What's that?
Teacher: You know, that big war between the allies and the axis.
DG: What?
T: (Facepalm)
Me: A big war in the 1940s, there's loads of movies about it.
DG: What are you on about?
Me: Have you seen saving private ryan?
DG: Yeah, my boyfriend made me watch it.....
Me: That's based on an actual war!
DG: umm..... okay then.....

So many idiots, so few bullets. But, thankfully, I know few idiots or people who have made idiotic comments. Well, I do, I just don't retain them, I've trained my brain to strain idiocy out (Thus straining itself).

(we have finished our exams and the teacher has put on a movie)
teacher "if you can't be quite you can sit on the floor".
dumb boy "sorry miss"!
(few minutes and several earaches later)
teacher shouts "shut up [dumb kid] and get down here"!
(instead of sitting down on the floor; he stands in front of the TV and starts dancing!)
teacher "I'll give you one minute to sit down, for every second you are standing up that's one detention"
(dumb boy continues to dance).

(at the end of the period the teacher calls him up to her desk)
dumb boy "f**k you b**ch"!
she gave up
