It was my first week in 100 level.
Big hall, over 300 students, and I sat in front to “show seriousness.” Bad idea.
The lecturer was explaining something about motion. Then he said:
“So what happens when velocity is zero?”
I didn’t realize it was a rhetorical question — he wasn’t expecting an answer.
But me, overzealous and fresh from secondary school, shouted from the front:
“It means the object is dead, sir!”
The whole class went silent.
Then everybody burst out laughing.
Even the lecturer paused and said, “That’s not wrong… but it’s very wrong.” 😭
I wished the ground would just open and swallow me that day.
Till today, some people still call me “Dead Velocity.”
Have you ever answered a question in class with full confidence — and got it completely wrong? 😂👇🏽
