How do these people get into Uni?

I had a funny Classics class today. Have you ever had one of those days where all the stupid people in the world decide to leave their houses? That was my day today. In fact, I shall show you. Trust me, you'll probably laugh. It shall be like a play. I will entitle it "Please Kill Yourself Now".

Student 1: I don't understand this class. I mean, Zeus has a whole bunch of statues, but he's not real, right?

Laura and I: HAHAHAHA!

Prof: Poseidon is the god of the sea, earthquakes, and horses. Now who can tell me what the connection is between the sea and horses?

Student 2: Well, in Lord of the Rings, there are white caps that are shaped like horses.

Prof: Ummm...okay?

Laura and I: HAHAHAHA!

Student 3: What's a white cap?
Prof: (pause) It's one of those waves that you windsurf on that's white...

Laura and I: *shakes heads*

Prof: What's the connection between the sea and earthquakes?

Student 1: Rivers get cut apart like roads.

Laura and I: *twitch*

Prof: Now Poseidon could be represented by a stallion, which also can represent virility.

Student 3: What does 'virility' mean?

Prof: Powerfully sexual. Kinda like fertility.

Laura and I: *silently cry*

Can anyone tell me how this happened? How in sweet Heaven's name did this amount of stupidity go through security undetected? How did these people get into university?! Good God! Anyways, it did brighten up my day and, I'm sure, Laura's day.
