ggrtrhhrtgg Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 so I was marking a geography assignment involving migration and ethnic backgrounds, and the students had to find what their parents backgrounds were and fill in the blanks.

YearsAlongTheSea Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 I was. I'm not anymore. It's a typo, it's an element from the periodic table, not a country. I get it, now, I killed the joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YearsAlongTheSea Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Maybe I was a little offended because my father is also dutch but my mother is very traditionally phosphoric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YearsAlongTheSea Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 (edited) I did, but,Uranium is an element.The former Ukrane was a nation.Ukranium; It's a spin-off.Phosphorous is an element.There is no nation with the prefix phosphor....Therein lies the crux of my comedic attempt.There is no spin-off applicable.I tried to make up a word.I failed.Thanks for pointing out all my shortcomings everyone.

AD Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 If you work really hard though I bet you could make Ukranium an element. Set your sights high! A lot of that science stuff is just made-up gobbledy-gook anyways AD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoodRev Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Ha ha, the Ukraine. Do you know what the Ukraine is? It's a sitting duck. A road apple, Newman. The Ukraine is weak. It's feeble. I think it's time to put the hurt on the Ukraine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
