    My friend told the class that he had been to Bulgaria, and a girl asked if Bulgaria was in Africa. That same girl also questioned why people in New York City didn’t run away during 9/11, afterwards she declared that terrorists' only aim is to make people run away. So I win, I guess?

    My zoology teacher wrote down a list of marsupials. I was amused when she wrote down 'womble'. I thought she meant to write 'wombat'. She read a newspaper article about the discovery of a ningaui, 'a marsupial that looked like a womble.' I saw the other students write down 'womble' and I looked forward to them writing it down as an example of a marsupial in their A-levels.

    Someone in my history class (what a surprise) asked if Spain was a state.

    That's the thing though, I'm pretty sure she was asking if it was a U.S. state
