"just imagine the scene in 1941 when American soldiers were storming Utah and Iowa beach"

"well, actually sir, it was..."

"did i ask you to talk? speak out again and it's a detention"

 

that was the scene in my 11th grade history class a few years ago

Intelligence is the ability to acquire and apply knowledge

That may be one definition. But knowledge does not confirm intelligence or visa versa. You can be intelligent yet lack knowledge, or you can store knowledge without great intelligence.
I was only nit picking.

I had a teacher one time tell me that the Me 163 could fly for hours on rocket technology developed by the Italians.... Why don't we have this in-game!?

It was just a video game that the German made.  Never had the chance to develop it do to lack of funding.

I love my History class.

Because even though im 11th grade.... I practically TEACH my History class. My teacher is smart, but she is more than happy to let me have my little empire.

I am infamous around the school for starting intellectual debates with teachers. Its funny because ive one 6 out of 8 so far. The one I could not get was my math teacher and my science teacher.

Guess which subjects I failed

I kinda floored my HS history teacher and class when I went off for almost the entire class's duration three separate occasions on the books we had that only had about a page each on the Russian revolution and it's impacts on eastern Europe as it spread, the Eastern Front during WWII and the Japanese conquest of mainland China and it's impact it had on the nation leading up to the communist revolution... the highlight of those was the one day where the teacher asked me to pause for a minute before continuing while he showed a bewildered class where in the world this mystical place called Finland existed.  There was no AP history available in my school, but that semester with that teacher got me on the inside with my senior student cabinet's field trip to the presidential inauguration.

wasn't the largest known nuke detonation a hydrogen bomb rather than just an atomic bomb?

technically, hydrogen bomb is an atomic bomb too.

Did that in 7th grade, gave a 45 minute presentation on Japan During World war II. It was a culture project but I turned it into something else. (Plus I think the teacher was looking stuff up)

Intelligence is the ability to acquire and apply knowledge

No.  See, stupid people can have a lot of knowledge, whilst Intelligent people can be very stupid.

All just depends.....

I called my history professor out the other day when he said the Germans never had an aircraft capable of carrying or dropping torpedoes.  The difference between someone with a Phd a high school teacher is that (usually) they are open to new information.  usually...

My teacher would humiliate me for correcting him in front of class, He was pronouncing  Farah like "fooouuuh" Thanks to Mr.McCoy helping make my decision to transfer schools i now am aloud to be correct without a teacher trying to humiliate me for it.

technically, hydrogen bomb is an atomic bomb too.

True, as it uses a fission device to trigger the fusion reaction, but the hydrogen refers to its secondary unit, which generates energy and neutrons capable of then fissioning the U238 shell as well, via fusion!  so most modern nukes are actually Fission-Fusion-Fission bombs... Can go into more detail if wanted, but thats the gist of it...

Originally it was a 100 MT, but they had to downsize it do to the size, safety of the people that that to drop it and not really sure what a bomb that size will do.  

@ Oak, Well heres why
