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?

Another case of advanced daftness as opposed to ignorance… Last weekend I attended a bit of a family reunion with some relatives from Oz. We all went out for a meal and eventually found ourselves enjoying a drink and glancing over menus as and you do.
As everyone made their meal choices, my mum just couldn’t decide and I asked her what the problem was:
“I don’t know whether or not I should go for the ‘Brewer’s Chicken’ – have you had that before?” she declared worriedly. I looked at the menu description: ‘Strips of tender chicken breast topped with crispy bacon and Cheddar, on a barbecue & beer sauce. Served with chips and salad’.
“I haven’t had it before but it sounds ok” I replied. “What’s the problem?”.
“Ooh, well I’m not sure how much beer will be in it. Besides, I’m also driving...” she answered with a concerned frown.
Fighting the urge to facepalm hard, I tried to reassure her. “That won’t be a problem” I said.
However, after careful deliberation, she eventually decided that it wasn’t worth taking the chance so she opted for the ‘safe option’ instead…
The Steak and Ale pie.

Ale's not beer though innitAny fule kno that beer is pale yellow and fizzy and is the only alcoholic alcohol you can drink. So I can have as many Bacardi Breezer's as I wan't and still be fine because it's just fruit juice innit, except classier cos it's fizzy like champagne but it don't make you drunk lol.
