100% Pure awesomeness...

From a test I am grading:

Answers to the name of the disease caused by a reactivation of the chicken pox virus in elderly people years after the initial infection: (correct answer: shingles)

1. Smallpox (!)
2. Schizophrenia 
3. Scabes
4. Rubella
5. Measles

I don't know if this is only hilarious to microbiologists, but it certainly made me giggle.

Yeah, probably. I mean it was someone funny to me but I don't know that I would classify it as hilarious. oh well, to each his own =)

I figured it was a geek joke. Still, it makes me very very worried about the new generation of nurses...

Schizophrenia is by far the best answer and should have been given partial credit in my opinion!
