Alright, so in 7th grade, I had a computer science teacher who opened his class by reading us a list of stupid stories from tech support. They had all actually happened, and this particular one stuck in my mind.
One guy (I think he worked with HP), received a call from a woman saying her printer wouldn't print yellow. First, he asked her to change the ink, so she did. It still wouldn't print.
Next, he sent her to a page where she could print out a test sheet. Every color printed, except for yellow. This included green, and since printers use a combination rather than simply green ink, it meant the yellow had to be coming from somewhere.
After about half an hour, the woman finally ran out of paper, and said to the tech support guy; "Hold on, I need to get some more yellow paper."

I recall a debate in PPNS about religion. Though I respect all faiths, one Christian responded to a post about advocating evolution with "What evidence?"
A year or so back, I had a friend who was starting to play a lot of video games. He only really played CoD and Halo, and I was tryig to get him to play something else. I tried to convince him to play Minecraft. The conversation went something like the following:
Me: "You know, you should give Minecraft a try."
Former Friend: "Nah, that game is boring."
Me: "No it isn't. There's all kinds of things to do."
Former Friend: "You don't get weapons."
Me: "You can make swords."
Former Friend: "But you don't get guns at the beginning, so what's the point?"
Mine isn't so much the stupidest thing ANYONE'S ever said, but more the stupidest thing... I'VE ever said.
A few years ago, I was at an IHOP (International House of Pancakes) with my family. The server comes over to take our order, and for those of you who have been there, you can essentially create your own omelet - you tell them what you want on it, and they'll make it exactly how you want it.
So I asked for one of those... and I asked if it came with eggs.
The whole table bust out in laughter. It was then that I was reminded that omelets are made FROM eggs. I already knew, but... the question just kinda flew out of my mouth. The best part was the look on the server's face.
I'll admit, not my smartest moment. Hard to say if it was my STUPIDEST, though.
Well... then there was this one time. Coincidentally, it was at that very same IHOP.
So we walk in the door, and as soon as we enter that waiting room with the comfy benches, I see these two police officers walking towards the door to pay for their meals. I was roughly 5 years old, I think.
So my five-year-old mind thinks "Wait, don't cops only eat donuts and drink coffee?" And of course, anything a five-year-old thinks ends up flying out of their mouths at the worst possible times.
Like when the cops are opening the door to leave.
We decided it was a good idea to go to a different IHOP.
Er... yeah...

So, today, in class, someone said Alaska and Antarctica are the same place, but are named differently for convenience sake. I don't know what was going through their mind when they said that.
"What's the point of Remembrance Day? WW1 and WW2 were a long time ago. Just get over it already, geez."
That's actually extremely offensive. Get over it?!

I'm on a bit of a hiatus from playing Minecraft, so I'm not so active in this forum, either. I still check it though, and participate in a few discussions.
Bringing my own thread back because I love reading all these.
I think feminists who think that all men are rapists and they should all be killed is pretty dumb.
You just sounded out the word rape, let's get 'em gals.
You know how the USA (MURICA) was launching Orion yesterday and the winds were high? Someone at my lunch table (who's pretty much the smartest person there) said something along the lines of "Just pack it full of fuel and let it go!" I'm pretty sure (not a rocket scientist) that if you sent it of it would loose aim and would keep going farther since it has more fuel.

Lol, wat? I assume this guy hasn't been paying much attention to history. No offense to Canada, but have they managed to land something on the moon yet?

That was about when I gave up.

And I`m like GOD THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF READING YOU MORON!"
And the response? "Well, I never read. And look at me!" These are the kids who literally the teachers flat out hate. It`s really obvious too.
