Amazing displays of ignoranceSandettie Light Vessel Automatic tells us: "My dad's friend told us there's no such thing as gravity - it's just the weight of air holding us down". Tell us of times you've been floored by abject stupidity. "Whenever I read the Daily Express" is not a valid answer.

My flatmates have had some special momentsI wouldn't have said they were displays of ignorance, strictly speaking, just phenomenal lapses in logic.
Item 1: "Doesn't sound travel upwards?"
Yes, dear. You should find it travels in all other directions as well (with the possible exception of "sideways through time"), given that I didn't have to loom over you to hear you say that.
Item 2: Walking down the Thames one day, we see it's raining further up the river.
"That is rain coming from the sky, isn't it?"
No, it's actually being spat out of the river and up into a nearby cloud.
Item 3: In the name of balance, I did also have my own moment of brilliance not so long ago -
"...because 25's a prime number, isn't it? It's only divisible by 25, 1 and...erm...5...oh, arse..."
