I've been asked a fair bit of stupid stuff since the start of middle school. Fortunately, most of the stuff in HS seemed stupid to me because I actually know the topics whereas everyone else just goes off of the popular 'wisdom'. The useless socialite girl in my AP Euro class this year was a great source, but I tended to block her out to avoid insanity.
That said, I do have one that happened to a friend of mine at a top Canadian Highschool. IB History, Junior Year. Random guy named Frank, who somehow made it into the class.
(following coverage of French Revolution and side discussion about all of France's national holidays)
"...yeah. But when's France Day?"
(and then, after half an hour of explanations that there is no France Day)
"SHUT THE HELL UP. I DON'T CARE ABOUT BASTILLE DAY, I WANT TO KNOW WHEN _FRANCE DAY_ IS."

Actually, the award for me goes to the following:
One of my friends, having been raped by one of other (now-former) friends:
"I'm 18 now and this is a mistake I'd like to make for myself."
I should note that this girl is extraordinarily naive, not particularly intelligent, and afflicted by two mild learning disabilities, but STILL.

once we were discussing a school trip to New York and my friend just came out with:
"Are the twin towers still there?"
it was good he couldn't do the trip cause he probably would've got shot for that in America

Some back story for these questions. I'm Jewish. Or rather, I was born Jewish, raised Jewish, and say I'm Jewish because it's faster than explaining why I hate all of religion.
Now, once people meet me and find out I'm Jewish, the same 2 questions always follow:
Person - "So... Do you celebrate Christmas?"
Me - "No, I'm Jewish."
Person - "... So... Do you celebrate Easter?"
Me - "No... I'm Jewish..."
One time I was even asked: "So... Do you celebrate Thanks Giving?"
My answer was: "No, that's my birthday."
(Best birthday ever, by the way.)

"Why do you have a kirby on your shirt?"
"Cut your hair, you look like a girl"
"Are you gay?"
"Do you want to go out with me? What, you have a girlfriend? Sooo....is that a no?"
There's various others.

I was walking down the street with a friend, when suddenly an Asian-looking man comes up to us.
"Excuse me, can you tell me where Hamburger Börs Hotel (a famous hotel/bar/nightclub) is?"
"Aye, it's right over there. *points*"
"Yeah, I've been there. It isn't the hotel building - they told me it's somewhere around here."
"Oh, um, I'm sorry, I don't know then."
Point of the story? We were standing right outside the huge doors that said Hamburger Börs Hotel. I mean, literaly outside the door, to the point where we were blocking people going in and out. I can understand that he didn't notice it since he probably just ran up to us quickly without looking at the surroundings, but we, having both lived in that city for all our lives... I can't forgive that.
I have never facepalmed at myself harder in my life.

Saw another one today,
Whatching Formula 1 at around 12:30pm GMT, commentator doing the grid walk, interviewing various people. Of all people Naomi Campbell walks onto screen and is asked by the commentator, 'who are you supporting today' to which she replies 'erm... England'.
Naomi == oblivious
Comentator == oh well
Me == on the floor with aching facial muscles
THATS NOT HOW IT WORKS YOU DIV!!!

I'm a bartender, and at my bar there's a huge set of draft taps, and all the time ( like at least once a day for 9 years now ) people come up ... stand in front of it (where I will have to bend down/lean to the side to see them under/beside the draft tower ) and they ask "do you sell draft here"... and the best part is, depending on my mood, I'll simply smile and answer "no, sorry" , and they'll actually order a bottle of beer instead ...
One girl in my english class: So the Civil War is when we fought the British?
