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?

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.
