Umm…monkey databases?

Actual, honest-to-god question on a quiz that I just took in a horrible, horrible class that I’m enrolled in this semester:

If you are required to write a paper on attention deficit disorder (ADD), which of the following of databases types would be the best source for articles on the topic?

  1. Architecture databases
  2. Education databases
  3. Health databases
  4. Mathematics databases
  5. Physics databases

Turns out that this class, which I signed up for out of sheer desperation to enroll in any course that I could get my hands on, is for students that have been ordered to take it to get their grades up to a 2.0. My classmates are…um…colorful.

There’s one girl in the class with, I swear to you, 5″ long fingernails. They’re curly and painted with swirly colors. She can’t write or unzip her backpack or even pick things up without contorting her hands into awkward positions.

I just sit in the back, keep my mouth shut, and complete the stupid quizzes.
