Today, I asked my students to buy a copy of Anne Frank's diary for an assignment. One of them asked me in all seriousness who wrote it. FML

I guess it's time to send them to the summer CAMP. To soon? I guess I'll show myself out.

Well...Bridget Jones didn't write Bridget Jones' diary. Maybe they thought it was fiction. But still. You would think people would at least have heard of Anne Frank.

They could've meant they wanted to know who published it.

That's exactly what I was thinking, #56.

58 - I teach and have never once heard any student express any kind of interest in what publishing company was responsible for a book. I sincerely doubt the student meant to ask about the publisher.

#66, the kid was dumb enough to ask who wrote Anne Frank's diary. There's always possiblities.

"But, they didn't have books back then. Plus, Anne Frank's dead. She can't write a book when she's dead, duh" Faith in humanity= gone

Thanks for the always unoriginal faith in humanity is gone comment.

It seems pretty self explanatory that Anne Frank wrote Anne Frank's diary. A obvious giveaway would've been the fact that they were likely working on WW2 at the time.

That wasn't the origin of my comment. My comment was basically explaining it could've gotten more stupid than that. I just added the faith in humanity bit at the end, doesn't mean that's what my comment was about. And yes, I'm sorry that I made it unclear.

In a manner of speaking, yes. Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. The fact that the kids didn't know (and worse, couldn't deduce) who wrote Anne Frank's diary is a worry, and highlights how quickly history has been forgotten - or in this case, how too many adults forgot to teach the Holocaust to the next generation. So yes, if it remains uncorrected, it could be seen as the beginning of the end. Bigotry in any form should never be overlooked. Kids need to learn about that time in history in order to educate and hopefully avoid a repeat performance (though the way Russia is going at the moment, it's not looking good).

Yeah, nobody else has seen Clerks 2 besides us. I already posted this and we're getting down voted because the ignorant ones think we're serious.

Ignorance, or maybe the comment itself just sucks regardless.

I don't find anything from that movie unfunny. Of course, there is one thing in that movie that sucks, but it was Kinky Kelly on the receiving end.

I said the comment, not the movie. Implying that your comment MUST be hilarious because it's a reference is like thinking a comment must automatically be funny because it's sarcastic. I doubt I'm the only one who thinks making movie references is just lazy and unoriginal humor.

That was the first thing I thought of when I read the FML. Unlike some people, I'm not trying to use this forum to launch a budding career in comedy.

LanceGoodthrust 19

The comments on my post implied that I honestly didn't know that's Helen Keller I was referring to. I figured the down votes were because of that, not because anyone found it unfunny.

I recommended that a colleague visited the Anne Frank Haus when visiting Amsterdam, his reply was 'Who?' 18 years old, I despair

Guys, if you're goin to comment on someone else's bad grammar, then at least make sure that your own grammar is correct. Otherwise you just look stupid :/

Maybe he's one of these conspiracy theorists who believes the diary is a forgery. He probably also believes the moon landing was faked and that Elvis is alive and working at McDonald's in Alabama.

Naw, they probably believe Futurama's theory about "landing on the moon/carrying a harpoon"
