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 friend from collegewas also convinced that in a combustion engine, the chambers completely fill with fuel, as opposed to just a fine mist. When confronted by the fact that just starting the car would cause the fuel tank to implode, propelling the car along like a bottle-rocket, he then claimed that only a bit of the fuel is ignited as is topped up on each stroke.
Then I had to convince him that liquids are not compressible (well only by a vanishingly small amount under extreme pressure) otherwise hydraulics wouldn't work, he then resigned but then claimed that the there was a fuel/air mix of 4 parts of air to 1 part fuel.
