It wasn't until after I graduated college that I learned the correct pronunciation of the word 'misled.' They gave me a degree in English anyway, probably because I was crazy and they wanted me to go away. I still look back in horror.

[Hydogenthebomb]

very similar for me but i said Admiral Zhang He of the Chinese royal navy.

[OkButWhy]

Ummm. Don't recall the exact grade but my class was studying pluralisation of words. Teacher annoyed me that day. She asked me to give an example to show I knew what she was talking about. I spewed......ONE PENIS.............TWO PENI. lol still cracks me up!

Not a wrong answer, but a humorous way go about acing what you felt was a boring test... and getting away with it. Not recommended unless you are positive you know all the correct answers and have a professor with a sense of humor.

Now what you saw when you followed the instructions and FOLDED the test on the RED dotted line A.

BTW, the purpose here was not to be a smartass. The point was that even when you really think things out you should never lay back and assume all is covered. You need to review and check your work.

Could have used ants as the example of something that if you don't plan for can screw up an outdoor birthday party. But ants would have been smaller and not have the same visual impact as a dinosaur.

The intended message was: "Damn, I forgot the dinosaur repellent spray"

That was the funniest thing I've seen tonight.

A guy in my biology class at high school in all earnestness asked: "See, when someone loses an arm? How long does it usually take to grow back?"

He didn't live it down for most of school. Like the girl who we convinced that cats and dogs lay eggs and that there are some places in Africa where dinosaurs are still alive...

Some guy in my english class in middle school was reading a list of great literature. He got to Don Quixote and pronounced it 'Don Quick-So-Tea.' Our teacher did not react favorably.

Not entirely a wrong answer as a wrong question- in Science class during 7th grade, the teacher claimed that Shaving Cream was simultaneously solid, liquid and gas, because each were integral to its structure. I raised my hand and asked 'Does that mean that Swiss cheese is a gas?' I wasn't actually joking, but I at least had the sense to laugh along with the rest of the class.

On an organic chemistry test I was taking, the question asked what does a particular reaction create. I didn't have a clue what the answer was and the carbon chain looked like teeth so I drew a dinosaur. I had the same prof the next term for the second part of the course and he said it was the best laugh he had in a while.

In high school this kid at my lunch table was asking how to say something in Spanish because he was going to do some class presentation with it. I told him with a straight face that the translation was "

" and had him practice it for me. He was actually going to use that but after the hilarity subsided I felt bad for him and told him the truth.

Q: Does anyone know which way is north?

Me: *Points to ceiling*

[Purplelightbulb]

The worst ones I can remember from high school.

Student: What does "ignor-a-nce mean?"

In American Government class:

Teacher: (Something along the lines of) What are the members of the cabinet a part of?

Me: The Kitchen!

The teacher and class had a good laugh at that and I was quick enough to pretend it was a planned joke, don't know if they bought it though.

In a math class:

Easiest question on final test: (Paraphrased) What would be an impossible subject for the president to be?

Me: A robot... no an animal! (Puts down animal)

The teacher marks the answer wrong writing: Humans are animals.

[Uriel]

Does not compute. I have never given a wrong answer in school.

My favorite moment ever is when someone explained to me that it's "pronounciation".

[Imperator]

I don't remember exactly, but I was supposed to say something like "this is why Cicero castigates his opponents".

It came out as "this is why Cicero castrates his opponents".

People laughed.

When I was in college, I did an English paper on my theory of animal intelligence, and altruism in certain species. My teacher laughed and said "I was a zookeeper - animals have no feelings or emotions." and gave me a B. I gave numerous scientific examples but alas, she didn't want to hear it. Then, I wrote a paper about how "theoretically" you can die of a broken heart - got an A++ (extra pts or whatever) and she wrote "My aunt died of a broken heart." The second paper was MUCH more controversial. Once I also corrected my algebra teacher in college, then he kept denying it - then the whole class yelled at him and he was like "Oh I did do it wrong." in broken Spanish - only one kid passed. College... /sighs I'm so glad to be out of there for now

I also in Highschool had a full blown argument with my sociology teacher about whether animals can see in black and white all the time, we were both partially correct in the end. He admired me for not backing down lol!!! "Well technically they can see certain colors - particularly cats I believe such as yellow, and blue I think - but not red..." Something to that effect, then we agreed to compromise that indeed, it's not just black and white they can see SOME colors just not many. Lol, the conversation took up the entire class!! "No I'm pretty sure cats can see in color." Was my first thought lol, then I remembered they can only see a few. It was a heavy debate! I loved Dr. Dottin, best teacher ever.

In biology (6th grade) i was asked something about an organism, I said Orgasm...multiple times unaware.

[kfarb]

in 2nd grade learning about basic nutrition:

Teacher - "Ok, so we have fat and protein. Can someone name the third building block of food?"

Me - "carboDEHYDRATES!"

[Nemesis]

I was meeting with a collaborating lab and the PI there and I were discussing some of the measures we had in common in our work. The measure in question is casually called the "BIS". But, this person has a very strong Italian accent and "BIS" sounds more like "VICE" to my retarded anglophone ears. So, to me it sounded like she kept asking me "Do you have vice? You know, vice? Do you have the vice?". Not cluing in and slightly intimidated by the awkwardness of not really knowing what she was saying, I responded back "yeah I got plenty of vices, but I don't kiss and tell". Her and her post-doc student just kinda stared at me for a moment and then we went on to discuss other things. It wasn't until I was well on my way back home that I realized what she was asking.

Shame.

[Mephos]

My japanese class. All of those times that people misspoke one part of a word to make the sentence have a completely different meaning. For example, the phrase "I ordered underwear off the internet," (don't ask) got turned to "I warned my underwear."
