During my music lesson we go a piece of paper that had what was meant to be real GCSE answers people wrote. It was one of the greatest things I had read all day. I'll quote some;
Ancient Egypt was inhabited by mummies and they all wrote in > hydraulics. They lived in the Sarah Dessert and traveled by Camelot. The climate of the Sarah is such that the inhabitants had to live elsewhere
Another story was William Tell, who shot an arrow through an apple while standing on his son's head.
The Greeks were a highly sculptured people, and without them we wouldn't have history. The Greeks also had myths. A myth is a female moth.
Gravity was invented by Issac Walton. It is chiefly noticeable in the autumn when the apples are falling off the trees.
Abraham Lincoln became America's greatest Precedent. His mother died in infancy, and he was born in a log cabin which he build with his own hands. Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves by signing the Emasculation Proclamation
The sun never set on the British Empire because the British Empire is in the East and the sun sets in the West
Louis Pasteur discovered a cure for rabbis. Charles Darwin was a naturalist who wrote the Organ of the Species. Madman Curie discovered radio. And Karl Marx became one of the Marx brothers.
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.

At a store: Bottle of Beethoven. Best when served chilled, over ice. Sell by 1827.

Those are great answers :)

Does anyone still have a copy of the graded school papers that were shown a long while back? Those sounded like the quotes above ;)

That's...sad. But hillarious. Do we know what level of education this was at?

I enjoy that gravity is most noticable in the Autumn.

GCSE is the tests you take at the end of secondary school (15-16)

Alright, now that I know what level of schooling this is, this is mildly funny. Whichever school system has those answers coming from it needs to step up.

Ok, why were you given these in the first place neo?

Actually...now that I know the education level they're funny because they're pathetic :p. Before I thought maybe they were younger kids (7-8 or so) and they were misunderstandings, or mispellings or something along those lines.

I know I've read these before... one of my teachers or professors definitely told me about them. I'm thinking perhaps my high school Calculus teacher, but I dunno. The Lincoln one and the Issac Newton one I've definitely read.

Shadow: No idea why I got them, because they are funny?
And this reminds me of something that happened in year 9, I was in science and a person in my class came up to me and said something like "If a hen sits on the top of a hill and lays an egg, which side will the egg go" I replied with "Any?" Then he starts laughing and says "Hens don't lay eggs".

Neo, you surely live in a place desolate of intelligence.

*wonders if that sentence makes sense*

Along those same lines, I worked with someone this summer and he wasn't the brightest crayon in the box. He had just completed his first year of college (at a private school) and couldn't tell us which weighs more, a pound of feathers or a pound of iron.

He honestly did not realize that it was a trick and couldn't make up his mind.

You can't expect much there, Walrii. We live and worked in a not-too-bright area of the country.
