I'm sure you've seen/have stupid people at your school. What sorts of things have they done?
I recall my friend telling me about this girl in his class. At our school, on the computer network, there's a small photo of you on the desktop (part of the desktop wallpaper), when you log in. This was for a Powerpoint presentation, and obviously the girl didn't seem to like her photo, so she went up to the screen and covered the picture with her hands (after she logged in). Unfortunately, since wee use projectors at school, the photo simply got projected onto her hands, and didn't really get covered at all. So, using the best efforts of her intuition, she called her boyfriend over and asked him to put his hands on top of hers, to help cover the picture.
By the way, this was in Year 12 (most people would be 17 years old).
Oh, and today, our marketing lecturer was talking about how someone did a test. One of the models wee study is the BCG matrix, which involves some quadrants, two of which are named "Dogs" and "Cash Cows" (this matrix is used to describe relative positioning a firm is in the market). This particular student obviously had some wonderful imagination. When asked to draw the matrix, he/she included a picture of a dog, and some cows. Probably the most intricate part was the cute little speech bubble coming out of the dog's mouth, containing "Woof!".
Unfortunately, no extra marks were awarded for the response, though I probably would've given some for marketing creativity.
