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?

Watching GladiatorAt school, end of term, watching Gladiator. During the battle scenes at the start the barbarian army yells a fearsome war cry, at which point I piped up:
'Isn't it amazing how much like modern day Germans they sound?'
There's so much wrong with that question. The syntax is fucking awful for starters.

You don't know what it was like man......you weren't there!
The language of the 5th Century Goths (the likes of Alaric...not the moon-faced shoe-gazing variety) is closest thing they have to what would have REALLY been spoken. It was recorded because the Bible was translated into it.
Saying that though - the bloke who shouts the bad German is a Scotsman with a strong accent as it is. AND the `wolf' was an Alsatian they spray-painted in front of us on the set. How we laughed while we watched it happen.
