A few years ago we had this intern from a tech school in the Marysville area. He was going to school there to learn how to be a programmer so he could get in to the gaming industry. We brought him on to learn about a production environment and help us with some systems monitoring tools.

On one of his first days, he was doing some of his homework (which was allowed under the intern program) and he gets to a question where he's stumped. He looks at me and one other guy in our group and goes "hey, guys, what is that programming thing..it uh, isn't constant or static, but it can change..va..something?"

We just look at him and go "a variable? " and he's like "YEAH THAT'S IT!!"

Keep in mind he was a second year student. Idiot.

So what's the dumbest thing you've heard someone ask in person?

 

when people ask you if you've seen their sunglasses and their on top of their head.

 

Well, I was asked the other day if my WRX was the "turbo version" :-P

but that really isn't a new one I suppose....

 

I was in an upper div physical chem class. The prof went through a derivation on the board that took 45 minutes out of the 50 minute class. It involved a bunch of calculus. The first step in the derivation was a simple distribution [ x(A+B)-->xA +xB ].

And sure enough, the first question asked is 'How did you get from the first line to the second line.'

 

he was prolly a scion owner and got confused on how his car was relative to the formula.

 

Had to talk to a cop one time about something with my car. So he comes up and this is how the conversation goes...

Cop: What car is yours?
Me: That white one over there.
Cop: The white Civic?



Me: No... it's a Subaru....

 

I had a friend that thought a tiger was a female lion. :/

 

:rotfl:

nice.

 

Question 1: In a college level algebra class, "whats the absolute value of 0?
Question 2: Did you have cable tv on your submarine?

 

That reminds of the time I told my friend to remember to rewind the DVD (joking) and then watched him try to figure out how...

 

I had a chp officer in Fresno ask me what kind of car I had.

 

It's a lot dumber when they ask that and you're in your GM6.

 

I had a girl ask me that since my car is manual and it rolls backwards going up hills, does it roll forward when going downhill.

 

What's a Liger?!?!

Shoulda said, no it will actually reverse up the hill...

 

haha, one of my coworkers a few weeks ago asked me what my desk number was so I told him it was 916-867-5309 and waited. Then he goes "it says the number is disconnected, dummy, figure out your own number!" I was :rotfl:
