Avast matey! Take the cargo to the.. bow!

Up +122 Down

So back in junior high, I had this one teacher who was a total jackass. He was more concerned with being popular with the "cool" kids than he was with providing accurate information to his students. I remember one time when we were grading an exam as a class. One question was "What is the name of the area of a boat where cargo is stored?" The correct answer should have been the "Holds". But the teacher's favorite students argued that the answer should be the "bow", because it was the only nautical term that any of them recognized. Since he didn't want to lose favor with some of his students, he ruled in their favor. Anyone who had the *correct* answer lost a point because our teacher basically caved to peer pressure (pier pressure? *rimshot*).
