    In a lecture, when discussing the changing temperature/climate etc because of global warming, the lecturer happened to mention that the climate has changed and been hotter/colder at differant points in the past, which obviously would have had an effect on the evolution of differant species,including our own.

    A guy in front of me then asked, in all seriousness, if the climate was to change and go back to being the way it was whatever amount of years ago, would we and all the other animals "evolve backwards" and go back to being the primitave version of humans .

    I hope ive described it well enough, but the fact that a guy with 2years of university science/biology under his belt asked this in all seriousness still makes me laugh

    On the bus today, 2 school girls talking (mp3 was dead :( ) One of them was asking the other,

    "He'yer Doesn't he have some of them smelly candles in his house, ya know, the incest candles!"

    Needless to say, I couldn't stop laughing, and want to avoid that house at all costs!

    In school ages ago I was in 4th class and one of the "lads" was messing about and the teachers head was wrecked, she asked him to do her a favour and go around the school asking for a ladder for the skirting board, after him knocking into about 15 rooms he got a big cheer in every class he went to, he comes back and says: Miss none of the teachers has a skrting board ladder, She says: Tom will you please ask for a long stand then.
    He comes back after a half an hour with a smile and red in the face, he then says, I got a long stand miss :P, great craic that day :).

    "Is this a true story?"

    A question put to me 15 minutes into the film 'Children of Men'.

    A lot of people say that ironically, if not it is just a colloquialism.

    Not something said but, rather, done. Many years ago while serving as a (very) junior officer in the UK mechant navy, on the fleet flagship, myself and a buddy enjoyed a few too many drinks. He had ambitions of learning to play a trumpet. At about two o'clock in the morning he decided to go and play reveille outside the cabin of the commodore captain. Not, in retrospect, a good strategy since it cost him two weeks pay and two weeks of "field days" that involved him being on watch for a minimum of 16 hours a day.

    was going to washington dc, my auntie asked all excited,

    "are you going to see that fella Paco Robama??"

    i assume she was getting barack obama confused with paco rabanne.
    the same person also asked me today, "is switzerland in sweden?"

    i also really liked when an uncle of mine was solemnly bragging about all the birds that visit his garden, "oh yes, we get them all around here i'm telling you: crows, crooks, ravens, cravens, lemonhammers...", just anything that sounded like it might be a bird got in there and he reckoned no one would realise

    I had a nun who taught us Irish and religion in secondary school. One day we somehow ended up talking about John Lennon, she the said that John Lennon had said that his music was more popular than the bible, to which she added "and we all know what happened to him." :eek:
    She was supposed to teach us sex ed, HA! She never saw a willy in her life.

    My not too bright friend in Secondary school finished reading her horoscope in the paper - "Oh my God this is freaky, how do they know it's my birthday next month?"

    Watched paranormal activity last night.
    When the movie ended a young girl sitting beside me said to her friends...
    " So that was real then? "

    Was in a friend's house the other day. Her dad came in to give a lecture to her.

    He goes '' A fool can ask more questions than ten learnt people could answer''.

    She replyed '' Well that's obvious if theyre dead.''

    We proceeded to laugh at her as she explained how she thought he said burnt people.

    :pac::pac:

    I'm sure I've posted this in one of these threads before, but it still makes me facepalm.

    A girl in my Leaving Cert Biology class asked, in all seriousness, what a blackbird was.
