Made the mistake of getting up as I was having trouble getting to sleep and checking my email. Frankly, this one might work for

seanchaidh's list of stupid comments/questions.

How can anyone in this day and age apparently not know that Arabic is a language spoken by millions all across the Middle East and further afield? To the point that when someone asks for the Arabic for a particular word they suggest that the language they really want is Farsi and imply that only archaic versions of Arabic still remain.

Why worry? Arabic is only spoken by approximately 286 million people and is an official language of 25 countries.

Uh... guh?

Okay, this has made me go grab my scrap book from my cruise... The top nine dumb questions people asked the cruise crew:

What religion are the people with the little bandaids behind their ear?
What elevation is the ship at?
Does the crew sleep on board?
Do I put my luggage out in the hall before or after I go to sleep?
Do these stairs go to the front or the back of the boat?
What do you do with the ice sculptures after they melt?
Is that island surrounded by water?
Is the t.v. on board satelite or cable?
(At the photo gallery) So how do I know which photo is mine?

Some people are just dumb as a box of rocks. What can you do?
