From: Funny Sayings from Court
The following concerns a question in a physics degree exam at the University of Copenhagen.
"Describe how to determine the height of a skyscraper with a barometer."
One student replied:
"You tie a long piece of string to the neck of the barometer, then lower the barometer from the roof of the skyscraper to the ground. The length of the string plus the length of the barometer will equal the height of the building."
This highly original answer so incensed the examiner that the student was failed. The student appealed on the grounds that his answer was indisputably correct, and the university appointed an independent arbiter to decide the case.
Elephant in the way.

A report in the Independent today suggests
Pupils struggle to master basic maths and English
"Figures show that 500 of the country's 2,900 state secondary schools fail to get more than 25 per cent of their pupils to achieve five A* to C grade passes at GCSE including maths and English. In the worst performing school - Temple in Strood, Kent - only 2 per cent of pupils reach the benchmark."
I disagree I think the rise in A grades is testiment to the hard work and diligence of today's youth.... Check out the intelligence in this:
"Beethoven wrote music even though he was deaf. He was so deaf he wrote loud music. He took long walks in the forest even when everyone was calling for him. Beethoven expired in 1827 and later died of this."
Jar Jar Binks - not to be confused with Zsa Zsa Gabor
To my eternal shame I was watching (for a very short time period of course) The quiz programme "the weakest link " Anne Robinson seems to take great pleasure in sneering at the contestants. But to be fair some of their answers can be funny in their stupidity. One that made me laugh today

- "Zsa Zsa Gabor"
- "no it wasn't Zsa Zsa Gabor - it is of course Jar Jar Binks" (look of great condescension from Anne :)
Question 2
- "Which port in Belgium serves as a port for Bruges?"
- "Zagreb"
