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?

Ignorance/Stupidity....it's a fine line:
Two girls in our downstairs office:
Girl 1 (to elderly customer): What was it like when everything was black and white?
Girl 2 : It must have been really dull, like everywhere. Were you looking forward to when colour was invented?
Customer: [choke]
Girl 1: You know when you like, have a brain transplant yeah?
Girl 2: Yeah?
Girl 1: Well...does the other person get the memories of the first?
Girl 2: They must do I suppose. Unless they remove them first.
....You could make a sitcom from listening to these two for just a day!
Girl 1 has just been promoted! It's just as well they're both pretty.

This maybe my faultWhen watching old films on TV. I have told any small children around me that everything was just different shades of grey until someone invented colour.

I too heard this as a kid...however, by the time I was the age of these girls (25 and 24 respectively) I'd pretty much realised that it was a crock of shite!
