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?

Do politicians count?I used to work at Uluru and was part of a team showing the Federal minister for Aboriginal Affairs around the Culture Centre. After introducing him to many of the Traditional Owners, describing the Law of the area and talking about the stories of the country (20,000 years of occupation in a desert would suggest these fellas have their shit together), he turns around to the Park Manager and asks him "So, do these people have moral laws?".
Managed to extract an apology from one of the minister's assistants who had the decency to be embarrassed. I think that minister went on to become the Duke of E's etiquette advisor.
