Best comment on this story: "It almost makes sense that people stupid enough to use yahoo as a search engine are also stupid enough to not know who Osama was."
Seems stupid, but given the age group I'm not entirely surprised. For context, I managed get through my senior year at one of Massachusetts better high schools without ever learning a single detail about the Vietnam War. Still too much of a hot button, nobody wanted to touch it. Even for the US History AP exam, the teacher brought us up to the Industrial Revolution or so and then said "Okay, do chapters 19-30 on your own." Osama was probably in there somewhere. :)
