[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is both sad tragic and funny all at the same time.

My 18 year old son was in the Center for Highly Gifted and the Math and Science Magnet for elementary and middle school. He graduated with 13 AP classes, entered undergrad as a sophomore and graduated with his Masters from grad school at 22.

That being said-
When he was 18 and in high school there was a student that died under horrific circumstances. There was a candlelight vigil the day after her death, and students met on the football field to release balloons into the air in her honor. My son, math and science protege, filled his balloon with air instead of helium (the kids had gone to the party store to buy balloons, he just brought one with him) and didn't know WHY his balloon didn't float and sadly hit the ground why everyone elses went up. I asked him had he never heard of helium in the Math and Science Magnet?

He also thought that Lions were boys and Tigers were girls of the same species.

When I was in college we were watching a Superbowl halftime show broadcast in 3D, so we were all wearing the glasses we got at 7-11 or other places. A math major (so a masochist, but not a dummy) walked into the room, looked at all of us, looked at the crowd on the tv screen - none of whom were wearing 3D glasses - and said, "How do they make it 3D for the people who are there?"[/quote]
