A turtle makes progress when it sticks its neck out

A turtle makes progress when it sticks its neck out

This quote means that if you help out instead of keeping to yourself, you can make some progress.  for example if you help out with the environment it will make some progress or some shit like that

Kudos, great finish!

Peter Nguyen's essay on US Capitalism

Peter Nguyen strikes again!

My favourite lines are:

"In the war of 1812, Osama bin Laden declared Jihad on the West Coast and killed Tupac. In retaliation, we tried killing Saddam Hussein but accidentally killed the Notorious Biggie Smalls."

"Many nations are poor because they have no money. ...  I think they try to eat the money because they're spoiled by missionaries who give them food instead of teaching them how to get money. I think thay's what they mean by 'nickels a day can feed a child.' I thought, 'how could food be so cheap over there?' It's not, they just eat the nickels"

"When Americans first came to this nation, the Indians picked a lot of fights and killed America's best friend (not Mexico). The Americans got really pissed and became the United States of America 2 (US2) and killed all the Indians."

"In conclusion, the USA rules and everyone else drools.  That's why I don't let other nations in my secret clubhouse. Other nations and girls. In conclusion girls are icky."

ZERO effort = ZERO marks

(i)  stuff  --> other stuff

Great answer, but I'd rather see you draw a picture of Borat or King Leonidas.

(ii) Which species is the oxidant (oxidising agent) in this reaction?     1st One

Justify Your answer:     Guess

Well, at least he's honest!

(iii) Describe what you would observe as this reaction took place. Link your observations to the species involved.

Add Contents of Packet and return to boil whilst stirring continuously. Simmer on a medium heat for 10 minutes. Sauce will thicken on standing. Serves 4.

What the F?  Did this kid copy a recipe for powdered cheese sauce?

What was the teacher smoking when she marked this?

10. i)Comment on the relationship between the sine of supplementary angles. Provide two examples to illustrate your point.

It’s kind of like the relationship between humans and the platypus no one knows anything about the platypus other than it’s a poisonous duck-beaver.

Examples: what sound does it make? what is the plural of platypus?

ii) Comment on the relationship between the cosine of supplementary angles. Provide two examples to illustrate your point.

It’s like the relationship between metal heads and rude boys [no]one knows what would happen with them together. The metal heads would probably turn off the ska music and put on metal. But the rude boys would be too laid back to do anything about it. Or maybe as a second example they all get along because they’re all from underground music scenes and would band together. Again no one knows.

The teacher's comments of Good and Excellent on this test, boggle my mind. The student's answer is way out there and doesn't come close, even methaphorically! The actual answer is the sine of supplementary angles is the same and the cosine of supplementary angles are the negatives of each other.  What does this have to do with the platypus and metal heads?  Maybe the teacher is being sarcastic?

By the way, there isn't an agreed upon plural for platypus

Drawing of Borat on a Math Test

STUDENT: Borat Sez: 'don't fail Ian!  He's verry niiice!'

TEACHER: Andrew says only Ian can fail himself -

Kudos to the student on this one.  Nice attempt at negotiation, but the student fails again.

I calculated the answer to be:  e = 3.48  f = 5.30   Am I right?

Shaken, not stirred

Q: What type of attractive force or bond holds the sodium ions and chloride ions together in a crystal of sodium chloride?

A: James bond

WRONG!  We were looking for 'Bond, James Bond'

For you nerds out there, the correct answer is ionic bond.

Ninjas!

Nice drawing of a Ninja on this one.  The teacher took the time to write a comment, but still gave the student a '-0', not sure what that means.
