Are you smarter than a fifth grader? (Part II)

So ya.... I was channel flipping today and I came across "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?".

This last contestant for the night was a pre-med student at Kent State University... kinda hyper, mid-late-twenties, but very dumb.

He was asked three questions, and the way he answered two of them blew me away....

First question: From Grade 1 Health Education:

"True or False? The Esophagus is the passage that connects that your mouth to your nose?"

His answer: "Well I know the pharynx is the throat part... *drones on and on and on without anwersing the question, mean while, the kid got it in five seconds*.... I'm going to say....... FALSE"
(No wonder he WAS a pre-med student....)


Second question: From Grade 1 Earth Science:
"A man-made basin that stores water is called: a.) Channel b.) Reservoir c.)Isthmus"

His answer: More talking and "reasoning", while the kid gets the answer in five second flat.... and in the end, he decided to take a peek.... that's when I rolled my eyes and changed the chanel....

So ya.... this is a good show to make one feel good... Let me just say that I'm content in the fact that while there are a lot of people out there who are smarter than me, there are a lot of people out there who are dumber as well!
