Today during sociology, the lecturer asked us to look at a table in the notes.
She said to carefully observe the table and spot something.
After a few minutes she addressed the LT. " So what did you observe?"
So again there was the usual look-here-look-there, anywhere-but-the-lecturer's-eyes thing or the bend-the-head-really-low-over-notes thing (I personally prefer a mixture of both techniques) that we students do to avoid answering questions in lecture at the risk of sounding stupid.
"Anyone? Anyone? What did you see from the table? Anyone?!" came her plea.
Somehow she made eye contact with me and I felt obliged to answer her question.
I took a quick glance at the table,

looked up and said, " Er, there's a spelling error."
Her face went 0_o
"I think Prussia is actually Russia."
Her face became -_-
"Haha, no, no, there is actually a country called Prussia."
The lecture group shared the lecturer's amusement at the girl-who-didn't-know-Prussia-exists and laughed their heads off.
What?! Barely a month into my course and I've established myself as the lecture idiot?!
Embarassing stuff.
Eh, Prussia is a country----> is common knowledge meh?
