Yoinked from mock_the_stupid:

I worry about my English Literature class sometimes. Especially this girl, who continues to get higher grades than I do even though she was unaware of the following:

Girl: ...Wait, wait, wait!
Teacher: What?
Girl: Hamlet's set in England, right? Like King Lear?
Girl's friend: No, it's set in Denmark. That's why Hamlet repeatedly refers to Denmark throughout the play. Remember? *gives scene example*
Girl: So...like...Denmark's a real place?
Teacher: What?
Girl: Well, it's okay to say it in a play, but it's like *Albion*, right? It's not a real place.

Two Atlases (for Denmark) and a couple of old dictionaries (for Albion) later and she still didn't believe us.
