Dad, what's a deus ex machina? Deus means God and machina means machine. So, taken together, it means God used to date a robot, but they're broken up now. Later... Damnit dad! Was it worth it? The answer to that question will always be yes.

Everyone knows that “Deus” means “2”, as in two X machines. And the X machine was used in Speed Racer. So, the answer is “Mystery Man X and his brother, Y”.

“What does that mean?”

Apart from grading them down, teachers actually are amused by bogus answers like this, and compare them for laughs in the teacher’s lounge..In high school, we had one poor, clueless history teacher that didn’t catch us in fake footnotes. We would make up quotations from non-existent books by non-existent authors, using actual names from students in other classes. .I myself was once "Sir (my name) III, noted British historian. I know it was a mean thing to do, and I cringe when I think of it.

He says it with such a bitter expression. Apparently his aim was not humor but spite for his daughter.Sometimes I consider dropping this comic for the negativity.

@emptc12Don’t feel too bad. I used to just make up books in a history class I had in high school. The teacher wanted a 3 page book report about a book relevant to the period we were currently studying every week. So I just made up a book, author, publisher, year, etc. And then I would write a 3 page report just using my imagination. Got an “A” on every report.
