They could have meant where specifically in Melbourne then.Stoink said:
As for me... it's not the stupidest question but it's easily the stupidest answer. I'm a Math teacher and I just got home from the job. Today I was trying to teach some Algebra 1 on 1 with this young chap.
Me: ... okay... now what's 1 times 1?
Him: 2.
Me: No no... 1 times 1. Think about it.
Him: 2! ................................................. OH! Sorry... one.

Yeah, that one's always great. This didn't happen to me, thankfully, but a girl I know crashed while on her bike. A nearby onlooker comes over and asks if she's all right; she says yes (because she's in shock) and the person just strolls away. Mind you, she was bleeding profusely from her head at the time, and clearly was not fine. She did stumble to a house eventually, and that person at least had the presence of mind to call an ambulance.caselj01 said:
I always scan a person visually for signs of injury if I see someone hurt themselves. If they aren't bleeding and it's clear that nothing is broken, then I'll just ask if they're all right and take their word for it. Unless I know them, in which case I'll laugh at them first and then make sure they're okay.
Oh yeah, I love that one. I went into the hospital for appendicitis, and apparently they have to figure out which side it's on (since there's about a 10% chance it's on the left instead of the right) so the method they use to test for this is to poke you in the stomach and ask which side hurts more. I couldn't tell the fucking difference, both hurt a hell of a lot (though it hurt almost as much when they weren't poking it), so I just went with the odds and guessed right side, and then hoped they used a more conclusive test, like an X-ray (they did; so I don't know what the point of poking me was).newfiegirl 110 said:
"How does a screwdriver work?"

May I quote Wikipedia?wfpdk said:
"One of the first lighters was invented by a German Chemist named Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner in 1823"
"The first "friction match" was invented by English chemist John Walker in 1826"
Although different sources give different dates for either, that's not such a stupid question.
Thank you thread, you just reminded me of a priceless secondary school moment.
I was talking with a group of mates in Biology class, year 10 I think (14/15 yrs old), and somehow the word cunnilingus came up; you know, as it does. One guy asked what it meant and we wouldn't tell him, we thought he was being intentionally dense. He pushed for an answer but we wouldn't say.
In the end, he put up his hand and asked our female, student teacher.
All sound just ceased and everyone, classroom wide, just stared goggle eyed unable to accept that that had just happened.
Absolutely fan-fucking-tastic memory, thanks again for reminding me.

A girl in my geography class asked me "Where is Europe?".
We live in England for god sake. In the end she thought that Europe was a country and the France was the continent. I'm not making this up.

My mom once rang the housephone and then said "are you at home?"
Well shit, it's cordless, but not to that extent mother, you bint.
Another one was from one of my coworkers today. He asked where the paperwork was and went on a huge lecture about how paperwork should be included (I'm only a temp, so maybe he feels he has power over me) - To which I thereby pointed to the box he was holding, to the side that was facing him, where it said in healthy sized permanent marker letters "PAPERWORK IN BOX."
The jackoff.

I was in fetal position on the floor after having fallen. When they asked me "Are you hurt?" I replied "No, this is a weird sexual fetish I have. Please don't tell anyone."caselj01 said:

Maybe she just can't wrap her head around that simple shit, as she's debating the conflicting points Orwell made in several of his novels.
Or she's stupid. I dunno, I like to fool myself.
This isn't the stupidest thing I've heard, but the first thing that comes to mind.
"Are you going down?"
A young woman asked me this when we were on the top floor of the parking garage.
EDIT: I just thought of another one. On Family Feud, A family was asked to name a country that has a good relationship with the US (or something along those lines). Everyone in the family was shouting, "Africa! Say Africa!" But the man of the house knew better. His answer? Europe, of course.
It's on youtube somewhere, it's priceless to see the host's reaction. I believe his response was, "We like Europe. There's a lot of choices there."

Well first of all, I think so. But second and more importantly, what about the "you are here" question?Yawwy said:
I'm in the car holding a box filled with ice to keep the chowder cool on the way home. The cold is driving me crazy. My mom is sitting right next to me and asks "Is it cold?"
I look at her with a disbelieving look. She asks "Stupid question?" I fight the urge to say "stupid YOU."

Oh,I left it out because...yea I couldn't find a way of thinking that meant she wasn't just being ever so slightly simple.The best I could come up with was something like 'Maybe she thought it was a special kind of...computer...map...thing...' so...yeaa...Xpwn3ntial said:
