My personal favourite paper to mark, was completely empty apart from one sentence.
“ Jesus, Please Help Me.”


The inhabitants of Egypt were called mummies. They lived in the Sarah Dessert and traveled by Camelot. The climate of the Sarah is such that the inhabitants have to live elsewhere, so certain areas of the dessert are cul- tivated by irritation. The Egyptians built the Pyramids in the shape of a huge triangular cube. The Pramids are a range of mountains between France and Spain.

The Bible is full of interesting caricatures. In the first book of the Bible, Guinesses, Adam and Eve were created from an apple tree. One of their children, Cain, asked "Am I my brother's son?" God asked Abraham to sacrifice Issac on Mount Montezuma. Jacob, son of Issac, stole his brother's birthmark. Jacob was a partiarch who brought up his twelve sons to be partiarchs, but they did not take to it. One of Jacob's sons, Joseph, gave refuse to the Israelites.

Pharaoh forced the Hebrew slaves to make bread without straw. Moses led them to the Red Sea, where they made unleavened bread, which is bread made without any ingredients. Afterwards, Moses went up on Mount Cyanide to get the ten commandments. David was a Hebrew king skilled at playing the liar. He fougth with the Philatelists, a race of people who lived in Biblical times. Solomon, one of David's sons, had 500 wives and 500 porcupines.

Without the Greeks, we wouldn't have history. The Greeks invented three kinds of columns - Corinthian, Doric and Ironic. They also had myths. A myth is a female moth. One myth says that the mother of Achilles dipped him in the River Stynx until he became intolerable. Achilles appears in "The Illiad", by Homer. Homer also wrote the "Oddity", in which Penelope was the last hardship that Ulysses endured on his journey. Actually, Homer was not written by Homer but by another man of that name.

Socrates was a famous Greek teacher who went around giving people advice. They killed him. Socrates died from an overdose of wedlock.

In the Olympic Games, Greeks ran races, jumped, hurled the biscuits, and threw the java. The reward to the victor was a coral wreath. The government of Athen was democratic because the people took the law into their own hands. There were no wars in Greece, as the mountains were so high that they couldn't climb over to see what their neighbors were doing. When they fought the Parisians, the Greeks were outnumbered because the Persians had more men.

Eventually, the Ramons conquered the Geeks. History call people Romans because they never stayed in one place for very long. At Roman banquets, the guests wore garlic in their hair. Julius Caesar extinguished himself on the battlefields of Gaul. The Ides of March killed him because they thought he was going to be made king. Nero was a cruel tyrany who would torture his poor subjects by playing the fiddle to them.

Then came the Middle Ages. King Alfred conquered the Dames, King Arthur lived in the Age of Shivery, King Harlod mustarded his troops before the Battle of Hastings, Joan of Arc was cannonized by George Bernard Shaw, and the victims of the Black Death grew boobs on their necks. Finally, the Magna Carta provided that no free man should be hanged twice for the same offense.

In midevil times most of the people were alliterate. The greatest writer of the time was Chaucer, who wrote many poems and verse and also wrote liter- ature. Another tale tells of William Tell, who shot an arrow through an apple while standing on his son's head.

The Renaissance was an age in which more individuals felt the value of their human being. Martin Luther was nailed to the church door at Wittenberg for selling papal indulgences. He died a horrible death, being excommunicated by a bull. It was the painter Donatello's interest in the female nude that made him the father of the Renaissance. It was an age of great inventions and discoveries. Gutenberg invented the Bible. Sir Walter Raleigh is a historical figure because he invented cigarettes. Another important invention was the circulation of blood. Sir Francis Drake circumcised the world with a 100-foot clipper.

The government of England was a limited mockery. Henry VIII found walking difficult because he had an abbess on his knee. Queen Elizabeth was the "Vir- gin Queen." As a queen she was a success. When Elizabeth exposed herself be- fore her troops, they all shouted "hurrah." Then her navy went out and defeated the Spanish Armadillo.

The greatest writer of the Renaissance was William Shakespear. Shakespear never made much money and is famous only because of his plays. He lived in Windsor with his merry wives, writing tragedies, comedies and errors. In one of Shakespear's famous plays, Hamlet rations out his situation by relieving himself in a long soliloquy. In another, Lady Macbeth tries to convince Mac- beth to kill the King by attacking his manhood. Romeo and Juliet are an example of a heroic couplet. Writing at the same time as Shakespear was Miquel Cervantes. He wrote "Donkey Hote". The next great author was John Milton. Milton wrote "Paradise Lost." Then his wife dies and he wrote "Paradise Regained."

During the Renaissance America began. Christopher Columbus was a great navigator who discovered America while cursing about the Atlantic. His ships were called the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Fe. Later the Pilgrims crossed the Ocean, and the was called the Pilgrim's Progress. When they landed at Plymouth Rock, they were greeted by Indians, who came down the hill rolling their was hoops before them. The Indian squabs carried porposies on their back. Many of the Indian heroes were killed, along with their cabooses, which proved very fatal to them. The winter of 1620 was a hard one for the settlers. Many people died and many babies were born. Captain John Smith was responsible for all this.

One of the causes of the Revolutionary Wars was the English put tacks in their tea. Also, the colonists would send their pacels through the post with- out stamps. During the War, Red Coats and Paul Revere was throwing balls over stone walls. The dogs were barking and the peacocks crowing. Finally, the colonists won the War and no longer had to pay for taxis.

Delegates from the original thirteen states formed the Contented Congress. Thomas Jefferson, a Virgin, and Benjamin Franklin were two singers of the Declaration of Independence. Franklin had gone to Boston carrying all his clothes in his pocket and a loaf of bread under each arm. He invented elec- tricity by rubbing cats backwards and declared "a horse divided against itself cannot stand." Franklin died in 1790 and is still dead.

George Washington married Matha Curtis and in due time became the Father of Our Country. Them the Constitution of the United States was adopted to secure domestic hostility. Under the Constitution the people enjoyed the right to keep bare arms.

Abraham Lincoln became America's greatest Precedent. Lincoln's mother died in infancy, and he was born in a log cabin which he built with his own hands. When Lincoln was President, he wore only a tall silk hat. He said, "In onion there is strength." Abraham Lincoln write the Gettysburg address while traveling from Washington to Gettysburg on the back of an envelope. He also signed the Emasculation Proclamation, and the Fourteenth Amendment gave the ex-Negroes citizenship. But the Clue Clux Clan would torcher and lynch the ex-Negroes and other innocent victims. On the night of April 14, 1865, Lincoln went to the theater and got shot in his seat by one of the actors in a moving picture show. The believed assinator was John Wilkes Booth, a sup- posedl insane actor. This ruined Booth's career.

Meanwhile in Europe, the enlightenment was a reasonable time. Voltare invented electricity and also wrote a book called "Candy". Gravity was invented by Issac Walton. It is chiefly noticeable in the Autumn, when the apples are flaling off the trees.

Bach was the most famous composer in the world, and so was Handel. Handel was half German, half Italian and half English. He was very large. Bach died from 1750 to the present. Beethoven wrote music even though he was deaf. He was so deaf he wrote loud music. He took long walks in the forest even when everyone was calling for him. Beethoven expired in 1827 and later died for this.

France was in a very serious state. The French Revolution was accomplished before it happened. The Marseillaise was the theme song of the French Revolu- tion, and it catapulted into Napoleon. During the Napoleonic Wars, the crowned heads of Europe were trembling in their shoes. Then the Spanish gorrilas came down from the hills and nipped at Napoleon's flanks. Napoleon became ill with bladder problems and was very tense and unrestrained. He wanted an heir to inheret his power, but since Josephine was a baroness, she couldn't bear him any children.

The sun never set on the British Empire because the British Empire is in the East and the sun sets in the West. Queen Victoria was the longest queen. She sat on a thorn for 63 years. He reclining years and finally the end of her life were exemplatory of a great personality. Her death was the final event which ended her reign.

The nineteenth century was a time of many great inventions and thoughts. The invention of the steamboat caused a network of rivers to spring up. Cyrus McCormick invented the McCormick Raper, which did the work of a hundred men. Samuel Morse invented a code for telepathy. Louis Pastuer discovered a cure for rabbis. Charles Darwin was a naturailst who wrote the "Organ of the Species". Madman Curie discovered radium. And Karl Marx became one of the Marx Brothers.

The First World War, cause by the assignation of the Arch-Duck by a surf, ushered in a new error in the anals of human history.

# When you breath, you inspire. When you don't breath, you expire.
# The pistol of a flower is its only protection against insects.
A fossil is an extinct animal. The older it is, the more extinct it is.
When you smell an odorless gas, it is probably carbon monoxide.
For head colds, use an agonizer to spray the nose until it drops into your throat.
The moon is a planet just like Earth, only deader.
Artificial insemination is what the farmer does to the cow instead of the bull.
Dew is formed on leaves when sun shines down on them and makes them perspire.
To collect fumes of sulfur, hold a deacon over a flame in a test tube.
Equator: A managerie lion running around Earth through Africa.
To remove dust from your eye, pull the eye down over the nose.
Momentum. What you give a person when they are going away.
Nitrogen is not found in Ireland, because it is not found in a free state.
Magnet: Something you can find crawling over a dead cat.
H20 is hot water. CO2 is cold water.
Rhubarb: A kind of celery gone bloodshot.
Vacuum: A large, empty space where the pope lives.
Respiration is composed of inspiration and then expectoration.
For a nosebleed: Put the nose lower than the body until the heart stops.
To prevent contraception use a condominium.
Blood flows down one leg and up the other.

You would not believe how much I laughed at that. :D

........

It reminds me of a physics question once posed.....

It's a clever urban myth, but funny nonetheless...

Hell:Exothermic or Endothermic wrote:
A thermodynamics professor gave his graduate students a take home exam. It had only one question, albeit a weird one:

"Show by means of rigorous proof whether Hell Exothermic or Endothermic? Whats This?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law or some variant. One student, however, turned in the following truly witty answer:

First, we postulate that if souls exist, then they must have some mass. If they do, then a mole of souls will also have a mass. So, at what rate are souls moving into hell and at what rate are souls leaving? This will determine whether hell is indeed exothermic or endothermic.

I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for souls entering hell, lets look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Some of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to hell. Since, there are more than one of these religions and people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all people and all souls go to hell.

Having established that, what is the rate at which these souls are entering hell? With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in hell to increase exponentially.

Now, we look at the rate of change in volume in hell. Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in hell to stay the same, the ratio of the mass of souls and volume needs to stay constant.

Thus, there are two possibilities:

If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter hell, then the temperature and pressure in hell will increase until all hell breaks loose.
Alternately, if Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in hell, than the temperature and pressure will drop until hell freezes over.
If we accept the postulate given to me by a young lady during my first year, "It will be a cold night in Hell before I sleep with you", and given the fact that as of now, all my attempts to sleep with her have failed, clearly number 1 above must be true, in which case, Hell is exothermic. However, I continue to nurture the hope that hell shall turn endothermic in the near future.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Exothermic / Endothermic?

Any system which is hotter than its surroundings and hence gives out heat is termed Exothermic
Any system which is cooler than its surrounding and hence absorbs heat is termed Endothermic

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This above story is found floating around the net, often attributed to one Dr. Schambaugh, Professor at the School of Chemical Engineering at University of Oklahoma. I decided to write to him to check the veracity of this claim, and this is what he had to say:

Mr. Raman,

I receive numerous e-mails about this urban legend. My name is misspelled more than 20 different ways in the various versions of the story, and usually the story involves an actual class that I teach (CHE 3123 – Heat, Mass, and Momentum Transfer II). Yes, I am notorious for giving unusual problems. However, I never gave this problem about hell.

Regards,

Robert L. Shambaugh

Professor



Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk..... :lol:

Chrissandra,they're hilarious :D

Apart from exams,sports commentaries have supplied a few 'mixed metaphors' etc
(some of us may have enough problems understanding plain metaphors never mind
the following)

They threw their last trump card into the fire
He had two stabs at the cherry
There's a wasps' nest of blue shirts around him
The goals are going in like dominoes
Cycling is good for kids as it keeps them off the streets
He had an eternity to play that ball.. but he took too long
Everything in our favour was against us
He couldn't get down high enough to catch it
She's never run faster than herself before
He used to be indecisive but now he's not so sure

They are something like the type of answers that I have to exams when I was nurvous and not thinking properly.

I wanted to impress my English teacher in one exam as I had a restricted vocabulary and I wanted to show I could expand upon it. But I got told off for doing this when I wrote "He was a respectable pillock of society" as this is what I thought the teacher had one said. Since learned she said "Pillar".

On a computer studies mock exam I came across those questions that we couldn't answer so we're taught to skip past and if we had time, try and answer interacted we had finished the rest. So I had such an example in a Computer Studies exam where the question was
"Give six examples of barcodes and the type of products one would find them on".
Now barcodes were relatively new in those days but soon found their way into supermarket products. And while I was answering I was getting partial Minchin in the stress of trying to answer fast, so all I could think of in regards to food products were baked beans and sardines.
So I filled in each of the six boxes with
Sardines in oil
Sardines in brine
Sardines in tomato sauce
Baked beans
Baked beans with sausages

I managed to recall six products associated with sardines or baked beans.
When my Computer Studies teacher saw what I wrote (As she had to decide which exam paper we were due to sit, and my results were borderline between the two, and she felt I could have done better, so when we had our next lesson she was angry at me. She marched me to the maths teacher next door and he came out of the classroom (He had taught me and my Dad and actually both my brother's, one of whom is 18 years younger than me! Think he was one of those teachers who have always been there!), and he looked at my exam paper that she help up in front of him and she said "Look at this!" while pointing at the question and my answer.
He read the question and read my answer and said "I can't see anything wrong with this". With that my Computer Studies teacher stormed off back into the classroom next door and the Maths teacher looked at me, shrugged his shoulders and said "I think you better to back to the classroom!"
To this day I don't know the proper answer to the question.

Those are hilarious. I actually had an experience where I gave a stupid answer in my Earth Science class back in the day. The teacher asked me if I knew what the Ring of Fire is. I told her it was a Johnny Cash song, and I think I may have even told her it was in the key of G.

Haha.

I remember my last science exam before we had to chose between Physics, Biology of Chemistry, and in the sex education part I had always been taught not to everything to do with the subject when I was younger, so I blanked it all off. I didn't even know the diagrams I was drawing had anything to do with women's genitals! (Had I had known, I would have point blank refused to copy them in my book!)
But then it came to my Science exam and the results. I had been taught with exams, that it we can't answer, leave it and go back to it if we had time, and then to take a guess as we might get it right.
So that is what I did. I guessed all the answers to the questions as I wrote them down in the exam.
Now we all came into the classroom and say down on the tall science stools, and the teacher was holding all our exam papers. But before she handed out our finished and marked exam papers to us, she started reading out the replies to the sex education section of the exam from one of the exam papers to the class, and I instantly recognised the replies. The class were in stitches laughing their heads off as they heard the replies...
"What is a miscarriage? A car to take a lady to her wedding" along with many more hastily guessed replies.
And then while handing me my exam paper so it was obvious that I had written them, she said to the rest of the class "You can laugh. He got the top mark in the exam as he had 89%. Your results are appalling (As she looked at the rest of the class). (The sex education part of the exam was 10 marks out of 100 and I got all 10 answers wrong, and one answer wrong somewhere else).

When word got round the school, people from various other classes in the school, half of them I didn't know approached me to ask me sexually related questions, and using my sense of humour while pretending to be serious I would give them an amusing reply. Such as "Do you masterbate? No. Never been fishing in my life". Things like that. It was at that time onwards that I used this technique as an additional form of masking which I call "Manual masking" in order to bridge the gap between being a loner, and someone people wanted to talk to, as prior to that I was generally a bit of a loner in that school. (I was there age 11 to 16 and they were 810 pupils when I joined so it was a very big school with over 50 staff!)
The primary school I was in before that had about 210 pupils (Age 4 to 11) and about 15 staff which included one to cross the road and canteen staff who also doubled up to assist in the playground so the teachers would take a break and someone to run the heating etc.

I was watching a video about funny test answers. One guy taped 10 pieces of paper together and drew a super long dick and wrote penis repeatedly down the picture and the teacher wrote, "Shame on you!" at the bottom.
