Colleges are not for smart people. They are for the gullible. "Fools are easily parted from their money". I haven't met a college educated person yet that could do much of anything.

I was teaching a class in project management to a room full of high-level programmers. At one point an exercise required averaging three 3-digit numbers as a first step.

I threw it to the class for an answer and was met by stares and silence until one of them said "They didn't tell us to bring calculators." Turns out none of them had the vaguest notion how to arrive at an average.

I had an apprentice who asked, "Boss, what's the difference between a quarter and one fourth?" He was totally baffled by the time I got to 0.25!

In the same business, the chief bookkeeper honestly believed that New Zealand was one of the Channel Islands.

They were both good at their jobs otherwise they would have been out the door.

I worked with a guy who claimed to have a BA in finance from San Jose State. He once asked me for a box of "those metal pins with big black heads." I thought he had said pens so I handed him a box of Sharpies. "No! he whined and came back holding the item he'd wanted; it was a binder clip! He also didn't know that Iowa was a state, what ceramic was, and thought "memes" was pronounced "me me's."

As a lecturer for a pretty damn good British university, I constantly have to deal with plagiarism and/or using wikipedia as a source.

Pi is 3, that is written in the Bible.
