Stupid Question Hall of Fame: The Week of 04/21

The Stupid Question Hall of Fame is back again, ready to embarrass the kids who cheapen your degree. Remember the rules – If you send in the absolute stupidest, you get a free BustedTee. Read all five and cast your vote. And, if you heard something stupid in class this week, send it to me at CollegeHumor.com/StupidQuestions.

• C) Georgia Highlands CollegeSubmitted by Heidi

  Professor: And this would be a geyser.
  
  Genius: Are geysers really old; is that why we call old people geysers?
  
  Professor: We call old people ‘geezers’ so no.

• D) Ohio State UniversitySubmitted by Josh

  The professor just told the class that for our next quiz we would have to arrange a harmony to The Star Spangled Banner…
  
  Patriot: Wait, is that the “Oh say can you see”?

• E) Colorado State UniversitySubmitted by Greg

  Background story: We have a quiz every Wednesday about a continent, or part of it. We have to label countries for extra-credit points. We can either take the test or write a one page paper about something in that region. We did North Africa last week, and the professor handed back the papers.
  
  Professor: Here, you might want to hand this in when we do the Middle East.
  
  The Brilliance: Huh?
  
  Professor: You wrote about Afghanistan…
  
  The Brilliance: That’s in Africa, right? It’s in Iraq, right?
