Stupid TouristsWhat's the stupidest thing you've ever heard a tourist say? Ever heard an American talking about visiting "Scotchland, England", or (and this one is actually real) a Japanese couple talking about the correct way to say Clapham is actually Clatham, as "ph" sounds are pronounced "th". Which has a certain logic really. UPDATE: Please, no more Loogabarooga stories. It's getting like, "and I opened my eyes and my mum had left me a cup of tea!"

General knowledgeI was on holiday in Mexico, and the hotel held a quiz night. We were at a table next to some apparently rather dim-looking girls from Chicago.
So when the question was asked 'How many legs has a spider?', I felt surprised and a little chastened by the speed with which one of the girls buzzed and said '8'.
Until she turned to her friends and said, 'because spiders are insects and /all/ insects have 8 legs'. :]
