fuck that! The following conversation happened with a student today:
"You know last week you told us about those dog-sized house-elephants that people keep as pets?"
"ummm...yes?"
"You made that up, didn't you?"
"..."

Turns out she googled it later. About 3 or 4 others were also disappointed

I believe the QOTW is entitled 'Stupid colleagues'
I also believe that credulity of that scale would also come under the heading 'stupidity'.
