What's the stupidest question you've been asked?
For me it's:
"Do vegetarians eat bacon?"
Someone really asked me that...

Not so much stupid as silly
On the morning of 1st January 2000, as in millenium New Years Day, the day after possibly the biggest night of celebration the world has ever seen, for the occasion of what the date was:
"What is the date today?"
...remember all that noise last night?

I'm a High School Teacher. I'd use up all of Malcom's bandwith if I listed all the questions I get asked.
My most memorable was my first stupid question on my first day of teaching ever... it went like this (I was teaching a bio class at the time.)
Kid: [Raises hand] Are we going to look at Lizard Penises in this class?
Me: Um... no.
Kid: I'm sorry, Jeff paid me $5 to ask that question, here take $2 sir.
I let him keep the money but did tell him that the next time Jeff offered him money to do silly stuff, he should do it and we'd split the money.

in all fairness...americans don't use the 24-hour clock (unless you're military). so if he was american and asking, it's a fair question.

In High School geography "Is there such a thing as Northerly-Southerly winds?" meaning like a sou'wester! Completely off the topic and in front of the rest of the class.....
And when I was travelling and identified myself as a New Zealander, being asked, "is New Zealand connected to Australia by the Sydney Harbour Bridge?" Oh dear it was a serious question

I can remember a poi related one - "is that real fire?"
this led to utter confusion all around, mainly because no one could figure out what the hell else he could have possibly thought it was - fake fire???
actually, I'm still confused by that one. Seems like a pretty basic thing really, being able to tell whether something is actually on fire or not... especially when you were as close to it as that person was.

back when i was in junior high, me and my best friend went to the movies and were watching the advertisements beforehand. there was one that was for soda, and it just showed a picture of a soda in the background, and in BIG letters said:
SO
DA
my best friend sat for a few moments, going, "so. da. so. da. i don't get it." i couldn't stop laughing for about 10 minutes. we still laugh about that now
ok so not exactly a question, but close enough

I was out to dinner with my family, and aunt, uncle, and cousins. My dad ordered pistacio icecream, stating it was the house specialty, so a bunch of the whole group got some too.
So, when the ice cream came, my dad serisously asked "Oooh, this is *so* good, what kind of nuts are these again?" When he was the one to suggest it.
Oh good times good times. Many more, but can't remember them

Then, out of the mouth of miss "Will not be named as I fear for my life", she yells, "Watch out for the 'land mines'"...

My friend used to council for a beach camp and I'd occasionally come to help. They have things called 11:00 sun block and 1:15 sun screen (which rhyme, of course).
A boy came up to me and asked:
"What time is the 11:00 sun block?"
"Erm... 11:00."
"Oh... what about the 1:15 sun screen?"
"..."
