IgnoranceI 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?

I forget if I've shared this before...My wife is incredibly clever. She understands classical music. She gets through books like I get through Sainsbury's Basics Bourbons. Oh, and she's a teacher too.
So imagine my surprise when, one evening as we were watching a nature documentary on the Antarctic, she turned to me and asked
"You know penguins?"
"Yes?"
"Are they birds or fish?"

Unfortunately...I resonate with your comment on the Basics Bourbons.
They're so cheap, so you can eat more, right?

Exactly!They dunk well, they're 45p for half a kilo (or thereabouts) and they taste just like normal Bourbons ('Nourbons'). I struggle to make a pack last longer than two days.

2 days?I'll have to send my two teenage sons over to yours.
Mind you, they always leave just one in the barrel, so I can't accuse them of finishing them up.

I used to get bollockings for doing that as a teenager as well.Apparently, I was also able to leave one sheet of bogroll on the tube so I didn't have to change it as well.
