    I've seen these or similar before,
    and they still cracked me up.

    For the first question, I was thinking of the names of The Four Seasons Group and thought, 'that's a hard one!!!' ;)

    Love the mushroom answer! So funny!

    Some of these are true. If I were marking I'd have to give points.

    Nah, funy though they are, Weens, these are made up, though I loved the answer to the parts of the body question. Much like the supposed Irish 'O' level paper I saw back in the early 60s. Sample question: There have been six kings of England called George. Name the other five.

    I like the four seasons! And I do wonder about the definition of 'premature death'? Is there an appropriate time? And why can't a small lie be called a fibula? Emminently sensible :)

    Trafalger, I thought that might be the case. It's hard to believe that sixteen year olds would come out with such tripe, but it is funny nevertheless, and as Alan says, some of them would have been given marks for ingenuity. The Benign one is my favourite ...or it could be the Julius Seizure one ...or the Caeserean Section one ...or...

    Very funny, Weens. The large pollutants like grit, sand, dead sheep and canoeists literally made me lol. But they have been around a long time and some are obviously made up like your favourite Julius Seizure one. The antipenultimate one dates them back to the time of the old Fairy Liquid ad.

    I love these! Real or not- they're very funny. I think in reality some of the answers are too clever to be given by genuine 16 year olds.. Julius Seizure, I came, I saw, I had a fit= marvelous :D
