This is a question Ignorance

I 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?

Oh, another one from my Mrs, looking through the telescope she'd bought me for Christmas.
"Whats that?"

"It's a star"

"No it isn't"

"yes it is"

"No, stars have points"

Her revenge - I was later on trying to look at the moon, and complaining that the tripod was rubbish, it kept very slowly moving when I got it pointed porperly.

"You do realise, it's not the tripod moving, don't you?"

Er . . .

I think someone is trying to draw attention to a typo somewhere in your post.
A Vagabond doesn't think the sky is revolved by porpoises.

You could have argued the toss
The tripod WAS moving, just along with the earth.

Not that proving something with logic is a very good idea when it's your wife...
