Pure Ignorance
What astonishingly stupid stuff have you overheard people saying? Tell us, and tell the world.

Silly little blond girl at school
When I was doing my GCSEs, there was a girl on my bus who was blonde and incredibly thick.
To give you an idea of how thick she is, she once tried to balance a full can of coke on one finger. Of course, coke everywhere.
That's not too bad for her standards.
When she heard about the Tsunami, she said, "Well all they had to do was hang onto a tree" and "They could've run away"
That's not the incredibly ignorant bit. This is:
She once decided that she was smarter than I was at maths. Logically, since I was 3 years above her.
I asked her to find the square root of -1. To all of those who are maths-impaired, there is no answer. There is no such thing as a square root of a negative number.
She didn't know. I tried to set it lower. What's a square root? She didn't know.
I told her that her IQ was outmatched by her shoesize.
She took off her shoe and checked.
I give up.
