10th grade honors chem, talking about air pressure and stuff. teacher says something along the lines of "there was this disaster on this island off the coast of the US, does anyone know the name?" i quickly respond, "Pearl Harbor?" teacher gives me the sort of "wtf was that" look and nothing from rest of class.

Because this isn't funny. I see where you were going, but it doesn't even make sense. Pearl Harbor is a harbour ON an island IN the US. Not an island off the coast of the US.

Saying "Three mile island" would have been a lot funnier.
