IgnoranceI once was in a programming class where the task was "build a calculator". A student did one with buttons 1, 2, 3 all the way up to about 25 and then ran out of space on the screen. We've asked this before but liked it so much we're asking again: What's the best example of ignorance you've encountered?

Some gems from my other halfHer: (apropos of nothing, while walking down the beach) "Do Reindeer exist?"
Me: "...Yes?"
Her: "Well... Do they fly?"
Me: "Yes".
Her: "Really?!"
Me: "NO! WHY WOULD YOU EVEN THINK THAT?"
------------------------------------------------------
Some excerpts from games of 'twenty questions':
Her: "Mineral"
(I guess various things for twenty minutes or so before admitting defeat)
Her: "It was wool"
Me: "You think wool is a mineral?"*
Her: "Well actually it was underwear"
Me: "You don't have underwear made out of wool. You just don't".
Her: "Well, actually it was cotton. Cotton is a type of wool, right?"
Me: "..."
Her: "And wool is a mineral, so..."
Me: *dies of head/wall interface problems*
(I still tease her about her granite knickers)
She also managed to stump me with 'The planet Jupiter' which she insisted, point blank, came into the "vegetable" category.
*Smartarses who mention so-called mineral wool will be exsanguinated.
