These, are actual answers given to test questions. While some students may have received 100 for creativity, most got a resounding F.
"The tides are a fight between the Earth and moon. All water tends towards the moon, because there is no water in the moon, and nature abhors a vacuum. I forget where the sun joins in this fight."
"Dew is formed on leaves when the sun shines down on them and makes them perspire."
"I am not sure how clouds get formed. But the clouds know how to do it, and that is the important thing."
"Most books now say our sun is a star. But it still knows how to change back into a sun in the daytime."
"While the earth seems to be knowingly keeping its distance from the sun, it is really only centrificating."
"In making rain water, it takes everything from H to O."
"Rain is saved up in cloud banks."
"Thunder is a rich source of loudness."
"Isotherms and isobars are even more important than their names sound."
"We say the cause of perfume disappearing is evaporation. Evaporation gets blamed for a lot of things people forget to put the top on."
"Clouds are highflying fogs."
Clouds just keep circling the earth around and around. And around. There is not much else to do.
Water vapor gets together in a cloud. When it is big enough to be called a drop, it does.
