[Lazzi]

Ill admit that I was in first grade when the child asked this but

"who waters the plants in the ocean"

 

[internutt]

Quite possibly what time the one o'clock gun is fired in Edinburgh...

I honestly hope it was a tourist making a joke.

I was sat in my room in uni when one of my housemates walked in and asked
"Tim, Who makes the Wii?"
Not knowing she was talking about the game system I gave her a perplexed look
She continued
"You know the nintendo Wii, is it made by Nintendo or playstation?"

I stared at her blankly as she obviously hadn't realised she had already answered her own question. I did however wonder why she didn't just check her own Wii rather than make the trip into my room to ask.

I heard of that, it truly is the stuff of legends. There were some people, strangely enough, trying to defend that person on some website I saw.

Would have made sense to put this in my original post, but here it is.

Spoiler: Screencap lol

I actually have a screen cap of it somewhere.

It was actually
d-.-b

which was then quoted, asking how the OP had gotten said mythical backwards d (He asked for backwards d, not b)

"If the sun is so big, why does it look so small?!?!"

yeah i was at the mall with a girl who i liked (yes...she was blonde) when she uttered this question. I tried pretty hard to contain my laughter.

Main question here is in fact, do they realise they have used both the 'backwards d' and the 'backwards b' in typing those questions anyway? Kind of defeats the whole point of their own arguments... :S

Yeah, apparently they decided "It's not his fault, it's because the human brain works in a non-linear way so it might appear to him as a backwards b!" which is obviously complete bull, especially since there's a "backwards b" in backwards.

My teacher made a joke about watching movies on a rock screen and having a rock car, and this girl in my class asked "oh my goodness, the seats must have been really hard!.....did it really happen?" I almost cried.

 

[crivera37]

I was quoting an episode of family guy by saying "It's in my raccoon wounds!" and my mom asked me what a raccoon was.

And one time at school there was a cheese puff on the ground in the hall covered in ants and a girl looked at it and said "i thought ants were extinct this time of year." Worse than that, her friend said, "Yeah, me too."

 

[Simalacrum]

i bet this one will be a hard one (two) to beat...

well, i once in a streak of brilliant stupidity asked what type of animal a chiken is... also i asked to an astronaut whether you could see the sun from the moon.

both of these things happened in America... maybe that place makes me stupid lol

EDIT: also i've just realised i spelt "chicken" wrong lol
