A question about : One in 10 Americans think HTML is a sexually-transmitted disease

One in 10 Americans think HTML is a sexually-transmitted disease

15% thought 'software' is comfortable clothing

18% identified 'Blu-ray' as a marine animal

23% believe an 'MP3' to be a Star Wars robot These are not MP3s

12% thought USB is an acronym for a European country

27% imagine a 'gigabyte' to be an insect found in South America

42% identified a 'motherboard' as the 'deck of a cruise ship'

The news comes after a National Science Foundation survey found that one in four Americans don't know the Earth orbits the Sun and only half believe in evolution.

Best answers:

• 3 in 10 Americans are innumerate and the other 8 are bad at Math.
• It was a multi-choice answer questionnaire, hence the similar answers. Let's face it if you don't know the answer to some of the questions you are going to guess aren't you and that's whats happened with this stupid survey. I dare say there was no Don't Know option either.
  If the same thing was done over here I can virtually guarantee that there would be similar 'hilarious' results and the Brits wouldn't take too kindly to Yanks taking the p would they?
• Actually, the funniest thing about this is saying "think" in the same sentence as "Americans"
