In my tenth grade HONORS English class we discussed the running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain. The brilliant student in front of me raised her hand in confusion at one point. With a small voice she asked if bulls were born with "those gold rings" in their noses. When we told her, in jest(duh), that she happened on a gold mine and should breed bulls for gold she was happy for the rest of the day. It wasn't until she asked her father about cattle prices that she realized her own gullibility.

In Grade 10 Sex Education class, the teacher pulls out a condom. She then explains what it is, how to put it on a guy, etc. One girl starts thinking out loud:"So that goes on....and then it goes....OH!!" She had just figured sex out all by herself.

Picture this, 8th grade Science class, no less, and this girl, a blond, raised her hand and with the most serious expression on her face and asked...."What's Einstein's last name?"

In my high school government class, one of my (not so bright) classmates asked the teacher if we would have to take a star off the flag if Quebec seceded from Canada.
