Smart move, or just dumb luck?

Archive: 22 posts


Well ok, a week ago in English class, we had an exam (An essay, to be more precise). We had to write what we thought 'Courage' was. Explain all possible meaning. And we had 2 hours to do it. (This essay is pretty important for our semester grades).
While most of my classmates and I were crunching our heads on what to write, one person though, returned his paper in the first 5 minutes. We all went "wtf" on that. And we didn't ask him what happened.

Today, we got them back. While I did get a good grade, the one with the highest grade was the one who finished in the first 5 minutes!
The teacher said he was both amazed and astounded by his work.

Do you know what he wrote on that paper?

Well:
"Courage? This, is courage"
And the rest of the paper was blank.

If you don't get it, then stay in school <_<

So, do you think that person foresaw that he would get a full grade, that it was a Smart move.
...Or do you think that the teacher is an idiot, and it was all dumbluck.

What I do know, that what he did took guts.

Well, people change it lol. Hell, the original might have nothing to do with the version I heard. But it's still pretty good.

LOL.

If you ever don't wan't to do P.E. or 'Gym class' just say you have a really severe case of paraesthesia... its worked for me a few times

(Its just the formal name for pins and needles)

Another one of these "true" stories.


The following is an actual question given on a
Louisiana State University chemistry mid-term.

The answer by one student was so 'profound' that the professor shared it
with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the
pleasure of enjoying it as well :


Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs
heat)?

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas
cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.
One student, however, wrote the following:

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need
to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which
they are leaving. 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 how
many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that
exist in the world today.

Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their
religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these
religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can
project that all souls go to 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 of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law
states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the
same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.

This gives two possibilities:

1. 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.

2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in
Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.

So which is it?

If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year
that, 'It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you,' and take
into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two
must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already
frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen
over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore,
extinct......leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine
being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting 'Oh my God.'


THIS STUDENT RECEIVED AN A+.

I think it always good to be a smart A if you know how, don't be lame but if you smart about it and pull it off the teacher will remember you. Now you can do this if you are not going to do good in the class because than you seem like a idiot and just lazy. But if you are smart and you are going to get a A than being a smart A on the first test will sketch your name on the teachers mind and they will remember you and it helps.2008-09-18 18:17:00

You can get two marks for writing ******* off (with * substituted for the real letters) and an extra mark if you include punctuation.

Hahaha, that 2nd one was hilarious, I seriously want to try one of these, but then again, I seriously want to get in a good college. 2008-09-18 23:05:00

Pretty cool.

But no, I'd say that was stupid. If I were the teacher, that'd be an F. It was a definition that was required, not an example or proof of concept.

wiseass answers should be thought in school, anyone can spend hours writing a very convincing essay, but it takes skill to spend to get to the goal in a few minutes.2008-09-19 00:30:00

<_< Sorry, couldn't help myself.

You'd actually hope that'd happen? 1 wiseass is annoying enough. 25 of them in one class is too much.

we need to face facts that we will never know everything we need to be successful, weiseling our way out of a problem we can't solve is a life skill we all need.2008-09-19 00:39:00

@ that first story... I had a teacher over the summer that would give an a+ for a paper liek that...

if you make a statement and have a reasonable argument to back it up you got an A...
it was for morality class... He is a devout Catholic, but i told him that i was an agnostic.

lets just say that i had him defending his belifes every-other day...
