The stupidest question I can remember hearing came out of my own mouth. It was during my 3rd year of university physics, in a class on classical mechanics. The prof was running through a derivation (it was so long ago I've forgotten what), and had defined two variables as x (lower case) and X (upper case). I was scribbling the proof down in my notebook, but because my upper case X looks pretty much my lower case, I had switched it to Y. I got so involved in translating his equations into my own that when he finally reached the destination, an equation involving both x and X, I asked in honest bewilderment "But whatever happened to Y?" The look he and my classmates gave me was worth the momentary embarrassment.

"How do lesbians have babies?". A person asked that to the health teacher at my middle school in 7th grade. We all thought she was joking until she had a disappointed look on her face when the health teacher said "Adoption"

I was in world war 2 class...its about halfway into the semester. One day we were writing a paper about ww2 and it was dead silent, and out of nowhere this girl sitting behind me looks to the teacher and says " was hitler on germany's side?" Omfg😑😭😂

[@evie12111]

no, hitler lived in a little cottage in australia, and it was actually his twin that participated in ww2, blaming him for everything, since he still held a grudge about the time when his brother got a playmobil figure and he didnt.

Teacher: *explains how hydroflouric acid is able to dissolve most things it gets in contact with including glass* That one girl in second row: "Does it hurt if you get it on your arm?" Edit: The same girl also asked if someone would die if you dumped him in liquid nitrogen.

[@fakenamerton2568]

Banana Bong The funny thing here is the answer is often it doesn’t hurt immediately. No really. Perhaps she actually knew that and was trying to set up a “look smart” moment that failed.

[@josepherhardt164]

Correct answer: What arm?

A student in my English arts class once asked "Why did Hamlet kill himself after Portia's death, I know their families rivaled and all, but why?" there was so much wrong with this I couldn't help laughing.

The teacher says "there are no stupid questions don't be afraid to ask" So a kid looked out the window and said "is that the sky" (In 7th grade...)
