still funny though

Merged the two above, with the one that was posted first leading...

Anyhow, it's not the fact that he couldn't answer the question that strikes me, as I don't think I could have answered that question off-the-cuff myself (been a while). It's the fact that he'd rather make-up an answer, irregardless of whether or not the question is in the test he is a proponent of.

Shows his mentality (along with the rest of his family) that, rather than saying he doesn't know (or even humor - "laugh at himself", per sé), he'd rather answer wrong...and then have his government make press-releases that his answer didn't matter anyways.

Now THAT's stupid.

Am I the only one that noticed that a triangle with 125 deg and 90 deg internal angles is physically impossibe?

His answer shows a problem with addition/subtraction, let alone trig. I wonder if he got his degree from the same place as his recently graduated niece.

It's kind of bullshit. If you're taking a high school exam that's what you're learning so you should know how to do it. If you haven't been in school for so many years, you'll forget how to do it. And some people are just not math people either. I suck as math but am good at grammar.

Am I the only one scared about the pattern below?

Carrrnutt, I must have been reading too fast earlier, b/c I totally misunderstood the point you made. Yea, but it's not necessarily the whole family. That's just your opinion. I think W. Bush would have said he couldn't answer it. He seems to have a pretty good sense of humor.

Actually, GWB, would have probably gave an answer - and would have truly believed it was right, however if it was wrong, he'd then claim that freedom hating terrorists had created that question for purpose of tripping him up. (whether or not he'd mean it in all seriousness, only God would know)
