Richard Benson Bücher

Ist »Judas Priest« wirklich das erste Buch des Alten Testaments? Wäre es nicht ungemein praktisch, wenn auch vier Drittel ein Ganzes ergäben? Und wie nennt man die Härchen an den Außenkanten der Augenlider? Kotletten? Wenn sich Theodor Storms Schimmelreiter in einen angeranzten Gaul verwandelt und ein Lowbrainer den nächsten jagt, übt sich die Generation Doof mal wieder im kollektiven Runterdummen. Die lustigsten Glanzleistungen intellektueller Tiefflieger in Prüfungen, Klausuren und Tests in einem Buch.

With quips, quotes and insults from classic favourites William Shakespeare and Jane Austen to modern humorists Stephen Fry and Billy Connolly, this delightful book will ensure you're never at a loss for the perfect witticism.

Ahh, glorious school days...It's no wonder they went so quickly with all the exams, the classroom fun, the sticky situations to get out of, the work to avoid and the teachers to annoy. Enjoy this new collection of hilarious exam answers, along with schoolyard jokes, amusing doodles, silly excuses, spelling slip-ups and loads more!

Presents a collection of incorrect yet humorous test answers from real students, from an elementary student claiming that "two halves make a whale" to a high schooler who credits Galileo with inventing the solar system.

Celebrating the creative side of failure, "F in Exams" gathers the most hilarious and inventive test answers provided by students who, faced with a question they have no hope of getting right, decide to have a little fun instead.

When Richard Benson was growing up he felt like �the village idiot with O�levels� � glowing school reports aren�t much help when you�re trying to help a sow give birth, or drive a power harrow in a straight line without getting half the hedgerow stuck in the tines. He left Yorkshire to work as a journalist in London, but returned when his dad called with the news that they were going to have to sell the family farm, and, in so doing, leave the home and livelihood that the Bensons had worked for generations. This is not only a moving personal account, but also one that reflects a profound change in rural life.

A compulsive compendium of hilarious quips and quotes from children   On "You get shot with an arrow or something, but it's not meant to be as painful after that." Reciting The Lord’s "Our Father which aren't in heaven . . . Halloween be thy name . . . Deliver us from e-mail."  The world is a confusing place—especially for little ones—and their innocent observations and questions can often be side-splittingly hilarious. They can also be a tiny bit embarrassing if you're, say, behind an elderly gentleman at a busy checkout and your little angel loudly asks you, "Is that man all wrinkly because he's been in the bath too long?"

Will some students ever learn from their mistakes? We hope not! This all-new collection of hilarious, totally wrong, real test answers serves a fresh batch of A+ wit misapplied to F- quiz scores. A little studying would reveal that the most powerful light source known to man isn't "lightsabers," nor do we salt the roads when it snows "to make them taste better." But where's the fun in that? From the same wellspring of failure as the million-selling F in Exams series, this special pop quiz collection will amuse and entertain anyone preparing to face down a test paper as well as those just glad to be far away from a classroom.

Children are at their funniest when they are trying to be serious, and their earnest attempts at mastering the English language are a veritable goldmine of unintentional humour. The book is packed with hysterical examples of silly spelling and wonky words, from the charming to the ludicrous, and from the profound to the downright X-rated.

The ultimate compendium of the international and New York Times bestselling series, this fun omnibus features the complete content from all four books— F in Exams , F for Effort , F this Test , and F in Pop Quiz —plus more than 100 brand-new, sadly real, hilariously wrong student answers ( What is the role of a catalyst in a chemical reaction? It lists the cats involved). Also including bonus trivia in the form of "Stuff They Should Have Taught Us in School" facts (did you know a sneeze can travel up to 100 MPH?), this A+ collection will amuse anyone facing down a test as well as those happy to have the classroom behind them.

The F in Exams are over, the results are in and just when you thought it was safe to go back in the classroom... BANG! It's time for F in Retakes! Enjoy another heady dose of hilarious answers that canny students have given to the trickiest exam questions.

DICTIONARIES OF QUOTATIONS. A collection of golden moments, which show that you don't have to be young to be hip.

Writing about The Museum of Modern Art, New York's monumental and critically acclaimed 2005 Lee Friedlander retrospective, Richard Lacayo of Time magazine said: "If a sophisticated notion of what a picture can look like, the continuous construction of new avenues of feeling, and sheer, sustained inventiveness are the measures we go by, then Friedlander is one of the most important American artists of any kind since World War II... Friedlander loves the muchness of the world. He loves the haphazard multitude of things that can pop up in every picture--street signs, sunbeams, bits of roofline, a jagged shadow--all colliding and contradicting one another. In his breezy but very acute introduction to the show's catalogue, Peter Galassi, MoMA's Chief Curator of Photography, gets it just right when he says some of Friedlander's pictures give you the impression that 'the physical world had been broken into fragments and reconstituted under pressure at three times its original density.'" Now available for the first time--the paperback edition of this definitive, comprehensive volume is being published to coincide with the traveling retrospective's stop in San Francisco at SFMOMA. At 480 pages, Friedlander includes more than 750 photographs--770 duotone and 33 color--grouped by series, as well as the incisive, aforementioned essay by Peter Galassi and an afterword by Richard Benson.

Soms zijn verkeerde antwoorden op proefwerkvragen onbedoeld grappig; in dit boek staat een aantal voorbeelden voor verschillende vakken. Vanaf ca. 15 jaar.
