Death by Stupidity

Yeah, so I just got out of my physics class and I must say there are some people in this world who just need to learn to shutup. There are 3 people in my physics class that have made themselves specticles in the class, mostly because they are constantly making statements (most of the time either wrong, or obvious). Our first boob is not actually all that dumb, quite frankly he’s probably smarter than me (not saying much though). However he takes up almost a quarter of our lecture time every day by asking things on huge tangents to the subject. Granted they are related in some way and perhaps to him they help better his understanding but I dont care if magnetic flux relates to how the auto industry is dealing with EV cars … it just doens’t matter to me.

Our second ignoramus (who appropriatly just walked into the math lab where I’m writing this to talk to boob #1) generally keeps quiet, but when he does talk things are usually wrong. Today he piped up and gave an explination as to why something was happening and the professor asked somthing along the lines of “do you agree with that” to the class and the guy behind me spoke what was on all our minds, “I wouldn’t trust what he says even if I knew it was right”.

An the all time mental defective in the class is Chris, who seems to be some bastard combination of the first two, he never shuts up and is always wrong. Case in point, we were discussing the conversion from AC current to DC current and somehow got on the subject of a car’s alternator generating DC (probably thanks to boob #1) and Chris rases his and and out comes: “Isn’t it the catalitic converter, my chemisty teacher was talking about that”, at that instant every single person in the class’ jaw droped to the floor. Mind this is a class of Engineering students, and at least 99% of us know what a catalitic converter (nothing to do with the electrical system in a car).

Today we had another example, Boob and Ignoramus got us to discussing what might happen if you had an inductor, inductor ciruit (relating to LC circuits for those of you who are in the know). And the professor was a little stumped as to how to word his answer to make it make sense and Chirs pipes in “I can explain it better”

Most of us laughed to ourselves and the professor even totatly ignored him and just continued on teaching.

I’m thinking that moments like these are likely to occur again, I’ll be sure to post them here for all to laugh at.
