Here are some interesting test question answers. OK, they may not get a correct answer. But you gotta give them something for the effort!
Q: Explain why phosphorous trichloride is polar.
A: God made it that way. (How can you argue with logic like that!)
Q: Briefly explain what hard water is.
A: Ice (Can't be more brief than that!)
Q: Name one of the early Romans' greatest achievements.
A: Learning to speak Latin.
Q: Name one measure which can be put into place to avoid river flooding in times of extensive rainfall (e.g. in Mississippi).
A: Flooding in areas such as the Mississippi may be avoided by placing a number of big dames into the river. (While I think the student meant to say "dam", I don't think their answer was technically incorrect, other than politically incorrect that is.)
Q: Name six animals which live specifically in the Arctic.
A: Two polar bears, three four seals. (Yes, that is EXACTLY how they wrote it. Apparently, they couldn't think of a third animal, so they made the number of seals four.)
Q: How does Romeo's character develop throughout the play?
A: He doesn't. It's just self, self, self, all the way through. (Sounds like this student's getting Romeo mixed up with "This little piggy" going "wee, wee, wee, all the way home".)
Q: Name the wife of Orpheus, whom he attempted to save from the underworld.
A: Mrs. Orpheus (Duh!)
Q: Where was the American Declaration of Independence signed?
A: At the bottom. (Double Duh!)
Q: What happens during puberty to a boy?
A: He says goodbye to his childhood and enters adultery. (Unfortunately, in some cases, this is actually true.)
Q: What is the meaning of the word "varicose"?
A: Close by (Sounds like the answer to a George Lopez joke.)
Q: What is the highest frequency noise that a human can register?
A: Mariah Carey (Only dogs can hear some of those high notes!)
Q: What is a fibula?
A: A little lie (Something tells me a boy answered this. I don't know why.)
Q: Joanna works in an office. Her computer is a stand-alone system. What is a stand-alone computer system?
A: It doesn't come with a chair.
Q: Steve is driving his car. He is travelling at 60 feet/second and the speed limit is 40mph. Is Steve speeding?
A: He could find out by checking his speedometer. (Triple DUH!)
Q: What is a vibration?
A: There are good vibrations and bad vibrations. Good vibrations were discovered in the 1960s. (OK. I spit my water out at that one.)
You just can't make this stuff up, people!
