Thanks for your email
Welcome!
And I just looked around here: I am NOT receiving everything you send out.
Very funny – some more credible than others.
Loved these!
I wonder if some of these are true!
Probably, but I don’t think they can all be true; do you?
I’m going to add “fibula” to my vocabulary.
“Q. How can you delay milk turning sour?
A. Keep it in the cow”
I like that one best.
So funny. Can’t stop giggling. Reminds me of a book I saw over the summer, which I can’t remember the name of right now, but it was essentially a book just about bogus test responses of this nature. After standing there for nearly a half an hour laughing over the book I contemplated buying it, but decided, I’d already read it so what was the point. Although, it probably would have been polite on account of all the spit and tears that fell on it during my laughing fits.
You are a one
If I look through some of my old exams taken by my students…I suspect I could find a few like these.
Thanks for the smiles.
You should do just that!
I bet that even if they aren’t true there’s some just as crazy ones out there! I remember discovering that during an RE lesson at school one of my classmates had explained that during Jesus’ crucifixion he was “mopped” by the crowd – he’d meant to say “mocked”.
These are absolutely hysterical! I love the one about keeping the milk in the cow to avoid the milk spoiling! Very practical!
Seizure…Roman emperor! Oh my!
