:confused:

Did your instructor not know the answers or was he/she the one in the white lace Victoria Secret (inappropriate written over last part) something-or-other????

Hey at least you did not need the extra credit with a score of 100/100... :D

i actually turned in a few papers like that in my 11th grade English class- and i always got a perfect score.
the teacher was one of those ultra liberals that wanted to get us to express ourselves creatively, so i always made it a point to point out how stupid that philosophy was and that it had no bearing on what the real world was going to be like once we were out of school and working as drones in factories.. we had some fun debates during class, while the other kids (the voting sheople of today) just sat there and wondered what the hell was going on and wondered how it was that i never got in trouble for dropping the F bomb in class.
my social studies teacher didn't exactly appreciate that kind of criticism or my "question everything" attitude, however. but what did he know- he only got to teach a class because even the wrestling coach had to be a "real teacher"..

btw- i love the phrasing of the extra credit question in that paper: "Score not based on accuracy, not drawing ability".. whenever i got a test with a misprint like that, i would write something on the paper to point out the error. sometimes, i got extra credit for finding the "secret mistake" that the teacher put in there "on purpose"- yeah right...

I was one hell of a lot more intense and crazy.

Hard to believe I have mellowed out so much...hahahaha

I was the loud kid in back always causing distractions and getting looks from the teacher. Did it into college even, but I did very well in the classes and would help some of the other kids along during open study times, so they kinda overlooked it.

In Physics one of my friends who was smart as a whip, didn't study any of the material that was on a test. He wrote out a big long explanation, using some of the largest words you ever saw. His Mom was in teaching and he had a big vocabulary. Now mind you he also had long hair, was a wrestler and also a rock and roll musician. Well, the teacher returned the test with a big fat zero on it. The comment at the top of this I didn't study explanation paper was

"I would have never guessed"

Teacher also announced to the class that for the first time in history someone received a zero on a test. It raised my friend to legendary status immediately. Did I mention my Physics teacher was the worst teacher I ever had in highschool? If the answer was not in his book he had no clue how to figure it out.

On the rare ocassions I attended school, I would typically just hand the test paper back and say "I don't know any of this stuff." They must have appreciated the honesty because I never failed a class. :)

I used to get docked points on the essays after doing a project when they'd ask questions like "What did you learn from this project" ...I'd put "Nothing, I knew it all already"

One project, we had to build a bridge out of toothpicks. The weight my bridge held doubled the previous school record. (record broke at 156lbs, mine broke at 308lbs) One question was "what could you have improved to make it work better" my answer was "What more did you expect? I already doubled the record."

Teachers don't like it when you get smart with them :D

Closest I came to getting into trouble IN school was when I explained my interpretation of the Doors "Back Door Man" in a paper and Jefferson Airplanes "White Rabbit" in a class presentatino in my senior english class. Teacher was a young hippy trying to get us interested in poetry by pointing out that rock lyrics were really verse put to music. After class she ask be how I had such a good knowledge of drug references, I just told her it was something I had heard about. She never asked about the Doors song...

What was your first clue? :confused: :D

I was never loud. I just had the habit of saying what I thought when I thought it. Whether that was to a teacher or a fellow student it didn't make much difference. Although once I landed myself in the principles office I usually kept the smart comments to myself.

I can't remember the name of the guy who originally did Back Door Man but I know The Doors version is a cover. I personally like it better then the original.

I was the stereo typical car guy...in accelerated classes!

I was in advanced english freshmen year and had to be in the renaissance fair. I elected to be a blacksmith. I made a sword at home and brought it to the fair. I was escorted to the principals office and the cops were called! Apparently, I took the role to far:confused: LOL, they thought I was going to go psycho with a homemade sword (that btw, was dull)!!

The best was AP physics as a sophmore. I was the youngest in the class and I was also taking auto which was like an unheard of combination. I had the highest grade in the class and never did any HW (it was optional). The best part was when we had projects. We had one where we had to create a catapult to launch an egg. It was judged by distance and egg strength. I was the only solo person, everyone else had partners. I went last and nobody broke their eggs because they were landing on the grass (we launched them on the football field at the 40 yard line). When I launched mine, it shot and hit the goal posts!!! It went a total of 128 feet before hitting the goalpost! They let me launch it again and it went a total of 182 feet!! The old record was 48 feet!!!! The last 3 years I was there, nobody ever came close to beating the record. In fact, last year I heard from a friend that my school had invited the neighbor school for a competition, if the neighbor school could beat my record, then they would get to host the rival football game. Needless to say, they did not beat me; their furthest distance was 89 feet!

Whenever the tests or labs came in to play, people knew that I was going to walk away with the highest grade! When we made mouse trap cars, my car did not have a distance recorder because it ran past the tape measure and then hit the wall about 30 feet ahead of the old record. I was then disqualified because they said that because I made my own spring, it did not count, eventhough the instructions said spring mods were allowed:mad:

Now, foreign language, that was another subject! I had an extensive knowledge of french and I ended up taking spanish, those were some interesting times in the principals office! Man, you should have read my explanation of Cinco De Mayo and my current events(which were straight from the words of illegal immigrants!)l:)

I think I have it on a blues compilation. I'll look tomorrow and see what I find. Patrick

"Back Door Man" is a blues song written by Willie Dixon for Howlin' Wolf, released on Chess Records as a B-side to "Wang Dang Doodle" in 1961

Sounds like you competed in the Science Olympiad. My son was a competitor in that also. He was at Great Oak.

Question 4 I would have answered, it's either endothermioc or exothermic. That would have left more space to write about the chick sitting in front of you.

LOL good post.

I remember one time in 6th grade math my hellian friend and I had this old man as a math teacher and we did evertything to him. We took the ball out of his mouse when he wasnt looking. He went back to his computer and tryed to use it but the cursor wasnt moving. he restaterd the computer seven times before he started hitting the keyboard with his fist and then threw the mouse across the classroom! :D

A buddy of mind and I were both in the same Calculus III class and we noticed that the prof would always give a "retake" on the test, about a week after the first exam (everybody usually bombed the first test). So, by the third exam of the semister, we decided to race. Rules were that you had to answers every question, first man done wins. I took an hour and a half exam in 12 minutes, he took 17. I got an 8 and he got an 11. Thankfully, he did indeed do a retake and we both did just fine :)

And you would have been incorrect (partially). Some exothermic reactions are accompanied by the emission of light, and some photochemical reactions give off chemilluminescence.

But I agree, he should have more documentation on the thong.
