Africa & Dalai Lama
I once worked with an American lad (who was a geologist) who thought Africa was a country!? When he left his boss was furious at all the mistakes in his work which had "Africa" written in the country list. Facepalm!

When working in Sydney, I got the chance to see the Dalai Lama (work was organising it). The 20yr Hindu girl I sat next to had never heard of him!? I even tried explaining a little of the history and why he does what he does. Still, nothing.

Drew Carey made that mistake on Whose Line.
He was deservedly mocked.

To be fair...
It is a long shot I admit but why should a Hindu know of the Daily Lama? I would have agreed if you had said "Abhay Charanaravinda Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada" and she didnt know them, she may have just been very wrapped up in her own religion.

But she was just a bit stupid and ignorant about things. She also kept a draw of Tim-Tams, ate several a day and wondered why she was getting so fat!
