I think my art teacher lived in a cave.
One of my high school art teachers gave my class an assignment where we had to do a lino print portrait of someone we see as a 'hero'. We had to tell her who it was and have her okay it first, though.

So, me being a dork and a bit of a music nerd, wanted to do Freddy Mercury. Upon telling her this, she gave me the blankest look ever and said "who?"

"You know, Freddy Mercury? From Queen?"

"Who're 'Queen'?"

Yeah, that about covers it. And she's only 30, so I think she's been living in a cave her whole life.

I did, however, manage to convince her that Johnny Rotten was an upstanding young man. Got an A on my project that way.
