I was in grade 10, when, in front of the whole class, while we had just "finished" the chapters on Mitosis / Meisis and Zygotes ... I asked my biology teacher, "I understood it mam, but where does this zygote really form? In the female body I presume, then how does she get MALE hormones inside?"
Surprisingly, all my friends (it was a girls school) knew about how it works, I got a stunned silence and stupid giggling after my question - sufficient to let me know I've asked a stupid questions. I got a fresh perspective in the recess that followed.
Needless to say, the teacher always believed I asked the question on pupose to embarass her and treated me accordingly.
