Does your wife/gf know the name of the U.S President and UK prime minister?
So the idea is to ask your wife/gf the names of both these people and report back. If you are female yourself, then you can vote (honestly). Anyway my gf is 27 and she knew Obama, but not Dave lol

My wife does but not my girlfriend. Ha! Joking. I don't have a wife. But the girlfriend teaches history and civics so she knows every president and most every PM.

Any self respecting UK citizen should know both. I could simply never be in a relationship with someone who lacked such general knowledge and common sense.

On the subject of stupid, I recently learned that 24 year old Joey Essex (est. worth $10m) cannot tell the time. We often joke about people being thick as **** but I'm pretty sure this is quite a milestone.
No, Not that Dr Z. Please don't bother PM'ing me for 'Price Lists' You have the wrong guy.

My ex was American/Irish and probably about as culturally aware as a fungus in a petri dish. However even she knew these. Two schools of thought on the dumb partner front. 1) Too stupid to breed with 2) Too stupid to ever pin you down and try and breed with you, therefore you can abuse there nature easily for an easy life.

My GF knew who Obama was but not what he did, And then thought the queen ruled the world, and that America was part of Europe. So i continued to question her, for my own amusement, i was watching something about the Nazi's at the time Apparently she was confused as to why the Germans bombed pearl Harbour especially since Pearl harbour was in Germany. When i told her it wasnt, she said oh yeah its in Ireland! This is pretty typical of her in terms of general knowledge, she istn actually stupid i just dont think she pays any attention to anything if she doesnt think it will be useful

If she is a Yank, it probably explains her stupidity, most Yanks are dumb bible bashers who don't actually know much about the bullsh1t in the bible and only know what their parents or priest/pastor tells them. I am single at the moment so can't ask my partner theses questions but pretty sure that i would never date any lass who was as dumb as your girl friend.

My Missus is Thai and although she's intelligent she lacks much formal education. She knew the answers to the questions but has some gaps that are partly cultural, like looking at the moon one night she asked if man could get there? We probably make a bigger deal out of this in the West and then again I can't make delicious food, bulid, speak 3 languages etc. If she had had the same opportunities as me growing up she'd be out of my league.
