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 girlfriendDidn't know who Nelson Mandela was, had never heard of Apartheid and genuinely believed all South Africans were white. She claimed that this was because her privately-educated brother had an extremely racist South African friend. I was shocked at her level of ignorance, even more so by what followed. In order to defend her ignorance, she called several friends, one of whom had never heard of him; another who had. However this latter friend said "Yeah I know him, he's the 'I have a dream' guy!". When I expressed shock at this she said "Oh no no I mean that guy who was on the bus with Rosa Parks!"
Also, my girlfriend believed that a christmas bauble was spelt "ball-ball". Brilliant.
