...And be genuine answers (from 16 year olds).....
Good to see that they are even wittier than we were at that age!
We used to have a school quiz and it was a toss up between being a complete . or trying to win. Form?..."humanoid". Name?...."don't know". Age?..."15 (ish)". Sex?...."yes", or "no", or "don't know", or "yes please", or "once a week" etc etc and that was before we even got to the questions.
 
A licence should be required to breed, Darwin's law does not seem to be working :cry:
 
Don't believe for a moment that any 16 year could have done some of those. Although it was a very long time ago, I don't remember any exam questions being that simple - dumbing down perhaps. Some of the answers seem a bit too clever.

However, very entertaining and it feels good to mock the next generation that will take this civilisation to new heights.
 
They`re very funny and if true the joke is on us. It is the writers who are laughing at us not the other way round methinks
all the best

They originated in The Journal of Biology many moons ago (1980's) and are a distillation of seven-odd years of actual answers in publuic examinations.....


All remarks about Darwin in the context of examining these will make a Biology teacher either wince (he's seen the Missing Link in class 10Z4 and attempted to interpret their answers) or smile wryly (he's met M.L.'s original gamete donors at Parents' Night and he knows there is an as-yet-undiscovered branch of Genetics).

Sam, who contributes the following, true, further malapropism:

Regarding barnacles growing on breakwaters: "Adult orgasms only occur on groyns"
 
While we are in this rich vein, a posting on Craig's List (I think it's the US version of Gumtree) which my daughter noticed was advertising "perineal plants" for sale.
 
hahahahahahahahahahaha that's bloomin marvelous. adverts get better by the day.

I once knew a dyslexic ambidextrous typist who worked for our local newspaper. She was absolutely amazing. her use of language drove me mad and this ad reminded me of her lol.
