Worst writing prompt you've ever gotten?

I live in the state of Florida where students are forced to take the FCAT Writes. This is a writing exam based around writing a five paragraph essay to a predetermined prompt. Also our county makes us take a yearly exam in the style of the FCAT So far I've gotten the worst prompts imaginable.

"Write about a special ride you've been on" (and I was in 4th grade so I couldn't understand the unintental hilarity)

"Write about your favorite form of transportation"

"Write to explain why health food is good"

And just today "The state is thinking of taking away internet access in school libraries. Chose a postition and write to convince."

Can you top these? The worst writing prompt you've ever gotten.

Update:

Non Floridans too. Simply asking for the worst prompt you've gotten in school (and @ the second answer- you can choose either side on FCAT)

    i dont remember the prompt i got in 4th but in 8th i got "what is your favorite form of transportation" and today i got the internet access one. it is so stupid and i hate FCAT!!! my friend said that on the fcat writes today you were ONLY allowed to say yes!! she said the prompt was "now write to persuade the legislature why there should be internet access in the library" or something like that. is that true that you were only allowed to say yes? because i said no because i couldnt think of anything to write.
