Just for laughs....
The following gems of wisdom were gleaned from test papers and essays from elementary, junior high, high school, and college students of USA. As one teacher noted, “It is truly astonishing what weird stuff our young scholars can create under the pressures of time and grades!”
1. “Water is composed of two gins, Oxygin and Hydrogin. Oxygin is pure gin. Hydrogin is gin and water.”
2. “Blood flows down one leg and up the other.”
3. “Dew is formed on leaves when the sun shines down on them and makes them perspire.”
4. “Mushrooms always grow in damp places and so they look like umbrellas.”
5. “Momentum: What you give a person when they are going away.”
6. “To prevent milk from turning sour, keep it in the cow.”
7. “The parts of speech are lungs and air.”
8. “The inhabitants of Moscow are called Mosquitoes.”
9. “A census taker is a man who goes from house to house increasing the population.”
10. “Most of the houses in France are made of plaster of Paris.”
11. “The spinal column is a long bunch of bones. The head sits on the top and you sit on the bottom.”
12. “The word trousers is an uncommon noun because it is singular at the top and plural at the bottom.”
13. “Iron was discovered because someone smelt it.”
14. “Syntax is all the money collected at the church from sinners.”
15. Beethoven wrote music even though he was deaf. He was so deaf he wrote loud music. He took long walks in the forest even when everyone

16. The sun never set on the British Empire because the British Empire ‘s in the East and the sun sets in the West.

Handel was half German, half Italian and half English. He was very
large.
22. The Greeks were a hi ghly sculptured people, and without them we
