O_O'

lol. there are some pretty dumb people in this world.

My faith in humanity just died a little more. =(

On the bright side, I had a good laugh. =)

Never had any faith in humanity anyway =) LOL

I think I will become a tundra-mower if this whole West Point thing doesn't work out.

I have another stupid question to add to that list

THE TOWER OF LONDON:

Are these the cround jewels?

Oh wow. Don't you love people?

I have a few to add (from the San Diego Zoo tour):

Will we see animals on the tour?
How long is the 45-minute tour?
Those maps that say "You Are Here" are really handy. Can they make portable ones so we can tell where we are?

Reminds me a lot of this girl in my class. Every time she talks you just want to slap your forehead.

The half-dome question about the other half wasn't that unreasonable. But yeah. I better go and turn on Old Faithful again.

I was once asked why water doesn't freeze.

Lol, someone once asked me can you float if there's gravity in the room?

And once someone asked my sister if her eyes were red... They're light brown.

I was once asked if I had a birthday.....no joke

my favorite one on here is

EVERGLADES NATIONAL PARK:
* What time does the 2 o'clock bus leave?

This is an actual conversation I had when I was in a mall:

"Are these the elavators that go up?"
