Are they really this stupid, or is this an anomaly? My friend, who is over sixty years old (which will be pertinent to the story in a second), was giving a lift somewhere to a 17-year old kids she knows. The conversation went something like this:
Kid: Are you going to see the Pope?
Ellen: (somewhat nonplussed) Why would I? (she's Jewish)
Kid: Well, he's the head of a major religion and Judaism is a major religion...
~silence~
Ellen: Do you know where you want to go to college?
Kid: Not yet, but I've been doing some research on a couple. What website did you use to find the one you went to?
Ellen: (too dumbfounded to speak)
