This is a question Ignorance

I 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?

The surname is depressingly ordinary. I'm not going to 'out' him here in case he's reading this, but he gave his first child a perfectly reasonable (albeit slightly hippy) name so he is capable of rational thought.

Is the surname Darling, and do they live in a lighthouse?

(and/or are they fans of Jez Lowe & the Bad Pennies by any chance?)

No idea; could be.
He just never struck me as the type when I knew him. Maybe he married a posh indie bint or summat.

To be honest, I'm hardly one to talk.
I named my son after a fictional PI.

Pi isn't fictional

This thread is currently the 8th result for "Thomasina Edith" on google.
So they'll probably find it sooner or later.

Search results differ depending on the sites you visit (directly from Google or using Chrome/Google Toolbar).

This is only on the first few pages if Google knows you use b3ta.

On my computer (or by now), it's the fourth.
Speaks volumes about the number of people out there with that name.
