The Easter Bunny is a religious icon? Err, dude, WTF.
If he's mentioned Easter or Jesus as a whole then maybe, but the Easter Bunny is like Santa. Neither of them are religious, they're just associated with Christian stuff.
TBH I think your comment is a stupid one, and deserves to be in this thread.
To every else that quoted him, it was obvious that he was trying to stir up a religious debate. I guess you can't see it.
So, back to the subject, care to contribute a STORY?

In college I worked at the rec center and one day a co-worker came in with a brand new calculator she had just bought. At that time they cost the equivalent of about $400 in today's dollars and hardly anyone owned one, so we were pretty interested in checking it out.
She agreed to let us use it while she ran over to the library for a few minutes, so we cooked up a little joke. When she came back, I told her that we were very sorry but I think we used up all the 8's. She looked confused so I explained that we were using it pretty heavily while she was gone, and apparently we used up all the 8's because where there is supposed to be an 8 in the display, now it's a blank space. I said she didn't need to worry because if she sees a blank, she'll automatically know it's supposed to be an 8.
"You jerks!" she said. "So what am I supposed to do when I run out of the next number?"

I know a girl who thinks the capital of NY is NJ. Same girl thinks two-dollar bills are fake money, not legal tender.
I know a few people who can't point out Massachusetts on a map. I'm talking about people who live in Massachusetts.
I know a lady (friend of my mother) who counts dimes in piles of 10, then adds the groups of 10 using a calculator to figure out the total. There were 8 stacks. I couldn't stand watching her count 100x slower than a normal human, so I helped her. She couldn't understand the concept of just counting the damn dimes and moving the decimal point over to determine the total. She didn't know what 'decimal' meant and watched in total amazement as I counted those dimes 'soooo fast'.
I know several people who can barely speak English. (My brother in law being the worst, my poor sister.
I know a lady who thought the TONER cartridge (for the HP 5si printers) PRODUCES the paper for the printer. She thought the toner releases from the cartridge and some internal mechanism "presses" it into paper just before printing. It took two of us to convince her you gotta load paper into the printer in order for it to print.
I know a woman (ex girlfriend unfortunately) who thinks the moon IS the sun.
I know one guy who thinks girls piss out of their ass, and no matter how many people tell him otherwise, he doesn't believe it. He thinks the vagina is for sex and birthing only.
I've had these stories pent up in me for a long time now, and it's good to get them out. FYI, I don't sh!t on these people, and I don't consider myself especially smart. I just think it's sad how little some people know about basic, universal things. Man, there are so many more stories, I just can't think of any more right now. (Maybe I am stupid after all.
Anyone else have any "stupid people" stories to share?
Edit: <obligatory> Stupid thread </obligatory>
Welcome to america!
:music
a da da da da daaaaaaaaaaa! da da da da daa daaaaaaaaa.... Having said that, I went out with a blonde once who didn't know that cars burnt the petrol you put in them or that the exhaust actually came from the engine. I suppose this is true for many women around the world...
I figured someone would ask that eventually.
Well my brother in law, that I can't help.
An ex-girlfriend, (Yep, she's blond) yea that one is my bad I guess heh. One is a family friend, real nice lady just very little activity upstairs. The others were all from a real crappy town where I went to school for two years.
I was at the supermarket and I wanted cash back on my purchase for drinking money.... The total was $26 something and I said I want $24 cash back (at Wegmans they add the cash back to the total purhcase and they have to type it in manually).....pretty simple math to do in your head there.... So she rings up the total to like $44 something and gives me $18 back instead. I know you have to be at least 16 to work at a supermarket.... this was first grade addition. Type in 50 bucks damnit, i tried to make it as easy as possible for you.
Another one happened last night.... this isn't so much stupidity as a complete ignorant c0ckblock..... I've been trying really hard to hook up with my ex for the past few weeks, and i get closer and closer each time. She won't go all the way because she's seeing someone where she'll be moving to in a few weeks. She feels guilty, but she knows damn well she wants me. Last night i finally had her in my bed (still clothed)... then my mechanical engineer roommate comes home and sees that the driveway is full. When he realizes that me and my ex are in my room, he knocks on the door and tries to get my ex to move her car so he can park. Mind you its like 1AM and he could've at least figured out a) we're about to fvck.. or b) are in the process of fvcking.
Through the door i yell something about "why don't you park in the street like everyone else on the block who doesnt have a driveway" then he says some dumb about tickets and towing... Right dumbass, everyone but us parks in the street and they seem to get by without getting tickets everynight. I very angrily say fine...so he goes downstairs and gets in his car, but me and my ex start talking and it gets hot and heavy again. You would think after 5 minutes of my ex not coming outside he would just find a spot in the street, but no, he comes back up and asks for her keys so he can move the car himself. FVCK. At this point my ex decides its time for her to go and escapes my grasps....I've never had blue balls so bad in my life.

my sister in law is not stupid but this is a funny story about how even intelligent people sometimes miss the obvious.
she was telling me a story about how she was speaking with someone who could not understand her (she is kenyan and has a somewhat british accent) and she kept having to repeat herself. so i said "what?" and she repeated herself and i kept saying "what?" amd she kept repeating the story about having to repeat herself about 6 times before she realized what i was doing. :evil:

pft. i know a girl that thought alaska was a seperate country.
My friend: man alaska is like a whole different country, it's so different up there.
Her: i know, i mean do they like even have a president?
My friend: omgwtfbbq
Sounds kinda similar to something that happened to me. My dad was Air Force and he had just gotten reassigned to Alabama after being in Alaska for 3 years. I was in 3rd grade at the time and the class in alabama was studying the united states. The teacher asked us what the biggest state was and seeing how I had just lived there for 3 years I knew the answer. I immediately shouted out Alaska! She said "No... the biggest state is Texas. See the pictures here on the map?"
"Where's your gran going on holiday again?"
"Alaska"
"Nah, don't worry, I'll ask her myself..."
*ducks*
Those are great. I live in Alaska and I've heard quite a few of these stories that show just how little people in the Lower 48 know about this state. But for a teacher not to know these things, OMG!

We are in the middle of an Exchange migration. We sent out a message to all of our users telling them to verify that they could access the new webmail interface and change their randomly assigned temp password to match their domain password. These instructions said to login with the standard domain\username format. So far, we have gotten 3 calls from people who haven't made the connection that they should change username to their actual user name.
I can't tell you how many times I'll get a phone call from a professor after working on his computer complaining that it won't take his password and he can't log in.
"What does it say for user name?"
"administrator"
"You need to remove administrator and put in your username."
"Oh ok... whats my username?"
"Do you know your email address?"
"Yes."
"Your username what comes before the @ symbol in your email address."
"Ok.. now it works.. thank you"
I swear Ph.D.s are pretty stupid when it comes to some things. This one happened a year ago.
I get a call from a professor saying they couldn't get to the internet. Couldn't get anymore information of of them then that. So I go down to her office to see what the problem is. When I get there I find out that "the internet" to her means AOL! She has installed AOL 9.0 on her computer and the damn thing is now infested with all of aol's spyware and adware.
