No doubt that he was! There must be others but two that come to
mind are...

I think we've all heard, "Can I borrow your 3-D (anaglyph) glasses.
I want to see my (2D) pictures in 3-D." The really funny thing is,
often times they come back and say it works!

Another common one is, "If I make double copies of my pictures,
will they be 3-D?" I have to admit this one is not often posed
as a question, since they're sure they have figured it out.

Any more dddumb questions? ;-) I'm compiling a top ten list. ;-)
