I have told this story on here before, but here you go again.
I passed a note around a lecture when I was at university, asking people to say what they thought was heavier: a ton of feathers or a ton-and-a-half of lead.

Everybody put their name under "they're exactly the same", except a little Malaysian girl who wrote "lead by half ton".

The moral of this story is that people like to feel superior and can be easily duped through a false sense of security.
And that students are idiots.
