"That Was Deep!" "No, You're Just Stupid."

Once back in the eighth grade, someone in my class convinced our SCIENCE TEACHER that a sock was, in fact, a liquid because: "doesn't it take the same shape as its container?"

Okay she probably didn't actually believe him, but she also couldn't counter that argument.

I was in Physics and the teacher asked what can Infra-red and Ultraviolet waves be used for, My friend then repeated the two words and blurted out Microwaves. We will never let him live that down. He also said two hydrogen's make an oxygen. He is not to bright.

I have been studying for a chemistry final for half the day, and your hydrogen comment has made me laugh. I thank you.

"if a tree falls and no ones around to hear it, does it make a sound???" *deep, wide eyed look of a "wise saying*
... of course it fucking does.

If you ask the people who just took a Sensation and Perception course, they'll say no. Apparently sound isn't sound until the brain processes it as sound.

Psychology can be some trippy shit.

Actually no. Sound happens regardless of what is around to percieve it, as sound is vibrations in the air. That's like saying dolphins don't exist because you can't see them right now.

-

actually it's true.
the definition of sound is vibrations being heard by a living creature.

watch as i quote wikipedia:Sound is a travelling wave which is an oscillation of pressure transmitted through a solid, liquid, or gas, composed of frequencies within the range of hearing and of a level sufficiently strong to be heard, or the sensation stimulated in organs of hearing by such vibrations.

and the dolphin thing is also true with quantum physics i believe.(not sure though so don't ask me about that)

Not quite, because the dolphin is technically a sentient being, and is thus able to perceive itself, which is of course the only way we can prove things exist.

by following Descartes his philosophy that's true.

yet quantum physics tends to not care about anything that is logic in this world.
(i'll have to get a friend of mine on this, he studied quantum physics)

Money says that your friend tells you to never use quantum mechanics to justify anything.

You see, there are two different types of "physics." Quantum, which works on the atomic and anything smaller scale, and classical, which works on a molecular scale and up. In fact, it's a major issue to try to bridge the two sets together into a unified field theory of sorts.

QED: Quantum mechanics does shit for proving that dolphin isn't there.

A girl in my classes was looking at a map of the world, then looked to me and asked "So to get from the west coast of America, you have to go around South America and travel east until you get there?" .. she did eventually realise her mistake, but it was incredibly funny at the time. Oh i might add she does A level geography.

I knew this one girl who didn't know that Florida yes Florida was a state.

*Facepalm*
This palm will stay faced for the rest of the night, thank you.
Had someone in my college class ask what state the Buffalo Bills were from...he came from New York City...

In his defense, Buffalo is near the opposite side of the state. So combine that with a complete disregard of football, some dense people may take a second to register that...
And I will admit, I also line in New York, and it took me a second to get that.

I work with quite a few people, and several of the younger ones only know "Joseph Stalin" as the stage name of Joey from Friends...

A facebook status that made me giggle

"Fuck the police!!! Just got a $200 fine for consuming alcohol on a train!!! The cop was a fucking tosser. No wonder why people hate you!!!! Kudos to Elly Moore for yelling at him!!!"

Yeah.. I hate getting fined for breaking the law...

Back in high school when iPods and mobile phones were being stolen from the common room (no leaving your iPod or Phone in the common room isn't the stupid part of this particular post).

Someone came up with this explanation:

It must be the janitors, because janitors are poor and all poor people steal. To further support her theory she started to refer to all the Polish criminals coming to Western Europe.

I would have facepalmed; sadly I was too busy trying to reattach my lower jaw to my face seeing as it had come off at this point.

A mate of mine once said red cars go faster. Seriously. We were in Year ten I believe.

He explained it that it was because red paint is lighter.

We have never let him live it down.

That's perfectly acceptable logic... if you're an ork. Red uns go fasta!

Everything red goes faster. It's the truth!

If you paint your brakes red, does that mean you stop faster? this is starting to hurt my head...

Last night, despite being moderately inebriated, I managed to drop 'misogynist' and 'spontaneous' in conversation. The guy to whom I was talking was a little surprised that people would speak with such fancy words.

Maybe he was just surprised that you look so much like Gandalf.
