'Oh, you're from Australia? Do you know my niece in New Zealand?' and 'How many miles is it from where you live to Sydney? No, not miles, liters. How many liters is it?'
And when someone I met in a foreign country found out I was Australian, she said, 'Why don't you sound like Hulk Hogan?' I didn't know how to react to this because I had no idea why she would think I would sound like The Hulkster. I was wracking my brain trying to work out what had connected me to the former World Heavyweight champion. Finally, I said, 'Why do you think I should sound like Hulk Hogan?' She said, 'Because he's such a famous Aussie.' We then had a brief argument about the nationality of Hulk Hogan. You may have already made the connection, but it took me ages to realize she was talking about Paul Hogan, aka Crocodile Dundee

There's a nice interview with Paul Hogan where he says that he can't go to a restaurant without the chef coming out from back brandishing his biggest cleaver and saying "That's not a knife!" When the interviewer asks Hogan if he ever gets sick of it, he replies, "Well, it might be the thousandth time I've heard it, but it's the first chance he's had to say it to me". Which is a rather lovely way of looking at it.

Or any god at all, unless they're specifically made aiming to be less believable, almost all the gods humans have created over time - counting in the thousands, that is - are similarly evident.

The human experience is weird, so I try my best to put its peculiarities in writing.

I grew up in an area near Stockport, when I went travelling around Europe in my late teens I stopped saying that was my home town, no one knew it (no surprise really) so I’d just say I was from Manchester (it’s the nearest city and Stockport is part of the wider area of Greater Manchester), I lost count of how many people asked if I knew the Manchester United players. Yup 2 point something million residents, I know them well….

I have blonde hair, blue eyes, and am very clearly of European decent. I was asked, "Where were you born?" - "Japan." - "But you don't look Japanese." - "Because I'm not Japanese." - *visible confusion*

My husband's niece, bless her heart, thought that the US Navy only had one ship and the entire Navy shared it. This same niece took a lactose pill because her drink had coconut milk in it. She's a registered nurse.

I'm a little concerned that this isn't even scraping the surface of dumb that most of us experience.

I was painting a neighbors apartment one time. Walked down to 711 for snacks and smokes and the cashier was like "Oh, you painting something?" as I am standing there with paint all over me from painting the ceiling. Me being the smartass I am and without missing a beat "no, just decided to throw paint all over myself today"

People still think that there are lions and zebras running in the streets in South Africa. Sometimes tigers, too. We always say tigers aren't indigenous to Africa but then two weeks in a row tigers escaped from sanctuaries here so it's hard to deny.

An Aussie here. When I studied in the US in the early 70s, I was asked lots of questions, such as " oh you're an Australian .... how did you get here ... ? Was it by train ?

There is this one guy who asked if his battery operated boat were to sink would he get electrocuted from the battery! He wants to be the leader of the USA and idiots are willing to vote for him.

That's not a dumb question. It depends on whether or not the battery casing is damaged, the volatage of the battery, the composition of the water, and any safeguards built into the system.

Most of these are simply people being uneducated or not tech-savvy. There is a difference between stupidity and inexperience/not being knowledgeable on a subject.
