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?

The llama is a quadruped which lives in big rivers...At Uni I had a friend, Kate, who was very clever but sweetly naive, often bordering on gullible.
One day I returned from a wander around the city zoo.
"It's really good there, Kate, they have llamas and everything."
No they don't." she snorted.
"Ermm... yes, they definitely have llamas."
"You're having me on, but I'm not that daft. There's no such thing."
"Eh?! Of course there is!"
"No there isn't! It was just a film!"
"... Which film?"
"Doctor Doolittle."
"You're talking about Push-me-pull-yous, aren't you?"
"Errr... Yes?"
By this point, I was laughing too hard to explain that the 'Push-me-pull-you' was a special effect, using two real-life llamas...

They have a small beak, for eating honeyI didn't believe my daughter about the llamas on the farm near Junction 2 of the M69. I thought she was having me on, but there they were, large as life and twice as dangerous!
