My friends and I were lookin up urban legends. We came across this one that makes no sense to me, but they understand it. Could someone maybe clear it up for me. I know I'm dumb sometimes, but this one is going completely over my head. Here's the legend:

Two students decide to go skiing for the weekend, and are having such a good time they decide to blow off the (calculus, I believe) exam that they have scheduled for Monday morning in order to get some final runs in before they head back to school. They decide to tell the prof that they got a flat tire and therefore deserve to take the exam at a rescheduled time.

Hearing the story, said professor agrees that it really was just bad luck, and of course they can take the exam later. At the appointed time, the prof greets them and places them in two separate rooms to take the exam.

The few questions on the first page are worth a minor 10% of the overall grade, and are quite easy. Each student grows progressively confident as they take the test, sure that they have gotten away with fooling the professor. However, when they turn to the second page they discover that they really haven't.

The only question on the page, worth 90% of the exam, reads: "Which tire?"
 
the two students are in seperate rooms but have both been asked the same question...which tire did they get the flat in?
they have no time to get their story straight, so if one student answers 'back left' and the other answers 'front right' the prof will know they've lied to him.

did that make sense?
 
Which teaches you the valuable life leason; if you're gonna lie make sure you get your story straight.

oh i do get my story straight... i'm very good with lying lol
I heard another college story... dunno if it happened or was urban legend.

Some guy was taking a test and did something to make the professor mad. The professor told him he would get a 0 on the test. The student says to the professor "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!".

The professor says "NO, and I don't care who you are".

So the student said, good.... and then stuck his test in the middle of the stack of tests that had been turned in.

love that movie :)
since the prof didn't know the kids name, he couldn't go back and fail the student after he mixed his paper in with everyone elses
 
Oh my gosh, that's funny. That would really suck... that question about the tire. Because you would totally get busted!
 
Oooh, they were so busted! What about this one...it's just funny!
Linda Burnett, 23, was visiting her inlaws, and while there went to a nearby supermarket to pick up some groceries. Several people noticed her sitting in her car with the windows rolled up and with her eyes closed, with both hands behind the back of her head. One customer who had been at the store for a while became concerned and walked over to the car. He noticed that Linda's eyes were now open, and she looked very strange. He asked her if she was okay, and Linda replied that she'd been shot in the back of the head, and had been holding her brains in for over an hour.

The man called the paramedics, who broke into the car because the doors were locked and Linda refused to remove her hands from her head. When they finally got in, they found that Linda had a wad of bread dough on the back of her head.

A Pillsbury biscuit canister had exploded from the heat, making a loud noise that sounded like a gunshot, and the wad of dough hit her in the back of her head. When she reached back to find out what it was, she felt the dough and thought it was her brains. She initially passed out, but quickly recovered and tried to hold her brains in for over an hour until someone noticed and came to her aid.

And, yes, Linda is a blonde.
