So, apparently, a lot of people in my town don't really know what vegetarians are. The other day, a girl in my Art class asked me how my vegetation was going.

What's the craziest/silliest thing someone has told/asked you lately?

In Socialist Propoganda 101, I was informed today that certain people in prominent media/academic positions have not got the first idea how economics works, but get to hold forth on it. They also don't know what Globalization is, why it's happening, or what it's effects are, but that's pretty much par for the course.

Well, the only thing I can think of right now is when last year, just before we finished school for christmas. My friend Zoey told everyone that she got her Vagina pierced :p, it's quite a long story, but it turned out that she hadn't. :bigsmile:

Ouch!!!!

I went to visit some friends in Brazil and my co-worker asked me if I got to see Ellis Island. "Huh ?" sez me, to what she added, "I've heard Brazil is close to Newark and New York".

True story.

VEGETARIANISM IS BAD LOL RELIGION

That and the the usual "White people are better than Asians" that I suffer all day at school.

Although, I did hear one of my friends ask "is she learning Jewish?"

It seems like a bit of a stretch to think people don't know what a vegetarian is based on one remark. :p After thinking for a few minutes, I can't remember hearing anything remarkably stupid recently. I guess it's because I don't talk to or pay attention to many people. :p

This isn't recent, but in 9th grade Economics, while my 23-ish-year-old teacher was explaining about the Great Depression, one student asked, "Were you alive back then?"

The other day I was asked if I slit my wrists lately. Wouldn't I uh, be dead after the first time I ever did, if I hadn't got any medical attention? o.O

Only if you went down the road instead of across the street like the emo boys do.

Funny thing is, I was wearing a short sleeve shirt at the time, so they could have easily seen them if I had.

Actually, my mom went to Italy once and said that meat isn't the "specialty" for lack of a better word.

Math teacher: What is the square route of four?
Idiot: (without raising hand) One!

Haha. xD Actually, most of my diet is pasta, so I am still Italian.

I'm too classy for that, sir!

Hollywood Video does not allow you to use a Hollywood Video card at ANY location other than where you initally signed up for the card. That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of in my life.

This is why Netflix is the only way to go. Stupid Hollywood Video. :mad2:

History Teacher: "Can anybody tell me what Congress does?"

Student: "Congrenize?"

My history teacher explained to his class about how the Cardinals vote for and appoint a Pope for the Roman Catholic Church. After a few minutes, a student asks why a baseball team gets to pick the Pope. -__-

Bwahahahha, I have something almost as good.

In History last year, we were talking about the French Revolution and the peasant class during it, and after discussing the difficulties the peasants had to deal with, someone asks "What's a peasant? Is it a type of bird?"

Well, from my cousin across the street, I heard this:

Uncle: I can't get past the spider webs. It's impossible!

Cousin: Have you tried using your lantern?

Uncle: Oh, well, that makes sense.

Then there was the guy who managed to get everybody except Eliwood, Hector, and Marcus killed before Chapter 13x in Fire Emblem 7...

When i was at Amanda's wedding I was asked if I was an 'oriental'. I've never been called that in literally 20 years, so I was like o.O

That pretty much tops it imo. Somebody needs to be more like me, because people I talk to can honestly say they've been asked omfgaslwtfsarsstdhobbitsex?

Student: How do you spell coat?

Teachers: *pause* Um...try it, dear. It's not that hard.

Student: C-a-t?...

Class: =O

Student: Wait, isn't the moon a star?


And I'm quite positive it isn't.

"Linux is better than Windows."

After three days of hell on this OS, I'm going back to good 'ol Windows in about five hours. I respect the fact that Linux is secure, in some cases more stable, open-source, and et cetera, but GOD it's the most frustrating thing ever made. I'm sorry, Linux sucks.
