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?

..."Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive,
But to be young was very heaven!"
Actually, come to think of it, it doesn't really work, does it?

I knew I knew it from somewhere,Just finished the Romantics and the French/American revolutions at uni.
I think it works, anyway, as it sounded familiar.

Not the exact quote, but Wikitionary citesThomas Gray's Ode On A Distant Prospect Of Eton College as the source of "ignorance is bliss".
That notwithstanding, this is terribly amusing (if you enjoy sneering at thick people).

The problem I have with Yahoo Answersis the sheer amount of trolling. I mean, sneering is good fun and all but it's a bit dull when it's staged (as it were).
I would like to add a quote to that page, though; Machiavel in The Jew Of Malta: 'I hold there is no sin but ignorance'. One of my favourites.

I gave Yahoo Answers a go, for a while,but quickly realised that I wasn't that interested in doing homework for lazy kids. Still, the maternity section was always an amusing bucket of crazy.
