Amazing the things university students think...

"So if a girl is pregnant with one guy and sleeps with another guy, will the baby look like the second guy cause his sperm got on the baby before it was born?"

I kid you not, a girl asked that in class today.

Besides the disbelief that anyone in university could believe that... my next thought was 'what the heck is a pregnant girl doing sleeping around? Shouldn't she be like sticking with one guy or something? I guess I'm old fashioned, but why the heck would you want to bring up a kid into a world where you can't even decide which guy you want the kid to look like?

Oh, another comment from that same class. "You can end up gay if you play on certain sports teams, cause like all the girls who played softball in highschool ended up liking girls after they joined." I think we have some issues with basic thinking in this class.

I was rolling on the floor laughing as a first reaction, but when I started thinking about it I got really scared.

Oh I once took a class on a field trip into a diary. One of the first questions was,
Where does milk come from?
I swear in all honestly out of class of 23 kids all about 14 most said nothing till one or two said something along the lines of.... from the shop.

When exploring this line of logic these kids HONESTLY thought it just turns up in a bottle. Not university sutdents but still thats pretty bad.

Depends on the age of the students. ;) If they were like under 12, that's ok. But much older and I'd wonder if the smart kids just don't think it's worth the effort of answering a question that silly. ;)
