Bizarre leaps of logic
Amorous Badger says: "I once humorously suggested that someone had been internet-stalking a Big Brother contestant. They concluded that I was threatening them. What's the oddest misunderstanding you've been involved in?"

When I was 8
My friend's dad tried telling me that gravity is actually caused by the weight of the air pushing us down. I told him it wasn't, it's all to do with the Earth being so large and so it pulls stuff towards it like a big magnet (my brother told me this after watching Sky At Night). His response was that a) it can't be like a magnet because not everything is made of metal, and b) things float about in space because there's no air.
I don't what he made of people walking about on an airless moon 10 years earlier.

There's not a lot of gravity on the moon,
as the moon is small and has less air than the Earth.
