Why wouldn’t the answer to the penultimate item be “True”? I’m pretty sure my dog knows exactly why he barks at the things he loves to bark at.

A story in psyhc class in college Professor prepared a test. Typical test that last for a very long time. If the student look down at the very bottom of test was a message from the instructor. If you read this message, leave the test a blank, turn in the paper, and leave the classroom you will receive a perfect mark.

I once took a high-school history test which required matching terms in two separate columns. Anyone paying attention could see that the teacher had the letters of the answers spell out the name of her boyfriend.

Had a college psych course named “the Meaning of Aspiration.” The final exam was one question: “What grade do you hope to get?” If you put down an "", you got an “A.” Everybody in the class got the point.

I’m not sure about the third from last question. The French and Indian War was part of the Seven years War which, in turn began the Third Carnatic War in India. But I’m not sure Bombay was involved.

How can Mr. Burke possibly know what was or wasn’t responsible for La Gioconda’s expression?

After reading Pearls Before Swine today, I expected to see a really horrible pun about Pastis.

Reading this just on a surface level, a number of the questions made me laugh. Fun stuff.

Henceforth I will always refer to Dickens as “Writey McAwesome”.

Holy cats – “Get Fuzzy” has an Eskimo joke today, too. (BTW, “Eskimo” is a white man word.)
