Things you'd consider "common knowledge"

Whatchu call me?

This is you? That's fucking awesome!

That has 8 legs. I have none. So there.

More like protuberances than legs...I mean I don't think they actually do much in the way of moving...more like...drift I suppose...

That and smoke hookahs, I'd imagine occasionally talk to little girls.

That could be quite an equitable existence...but more fun if you can shoot a nerf gun at them as well...

Pissing in the wind...not a good idea.

How would you know that?

EDIT: ....nvm

Hydrodynamics?

A basic understanding of fluid mechanics.

The theory is validated by extensive field testing and observations. Don't ask. My childhood was...interesting.

Hydrodynamics?

Also gravity.

You should write a paper on it. I'm sure you could get a government grant.

Are you calling me an idiot?

You did just admit to pissing on yourself. Are you sure you want to pursue this line of questioning, counselor?

I think you'll find that I did no such thing. *hrmph*!

I said I observed. I didn't go in for self experimentation...well unless booze or drugs were involved somehow.

I once saw somebody label Sweden as China on a world map in a geography class about three years ago... That was probably close to the most stupid I've seen humans get.

You're still young, you'll learn.

You don't lose faith in humanity until you see someone unable to locate a globe when the teacher asks for it.
It was like 9/11 for the human stupidity threshold.

[Costa Alegria]

Water is blue. Alexander Graham Bell not inventing the telephone.

[Laerod]

Water is blue.

Not everywhere...

I've seen that. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in high school, my teacher asked [name redacted] where Iraq was on the map. The conversation went as follows.

"Please point to Iraq on the map."
"The what?"
"Iraq?"
"No, the map."
"Yes, on the map. Point to Iraq."
"What's a map?"
"The large picture of the world behind me."
"The wall?"
"The map is on the wall."
"Behind you?"
"Yes."
"What?"
Class clown: "He's on second."

You shut your filthy mouth...

Norway is not the capital of Sweden.

PEMDAS still confuses some people. I don't care what their degrees are in, it still confuses them.

Until the other day when this was discussed on a local radio morning talk show, I didn't know about "PEMDAS" either.

Then again, when I was in school, we were simply expected to learn the precedence of operations. Period. "Acronyms? We don't need no stinking acronyms."

Which was probably a good thing, since the acronym doesn't indicate that the reflexive operators are equal in precedence. It also excludes modulo, unary, bitwise, and logical operators....

Geography of the First World. Granted, my worldview is somewhat Eurocentric, but in my mind, every Western citizen should have at least a basic grasp of geography of the civilized world. One thing is not knowing where exactly Burkina Faso is located, but I can never stop being amused at people who think Europe is a country, or Swedes who ask if I have computers in my homeland that's 40 minutes flight across the sea from them.

However, when dealing with the American education system, you need to dumb things down a lot.

I don't say this to mock American students, just the school system.
