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.

Bottom StringA mate of mine is a history teacher at a secondary school in Cambridgeshire and swears this story is true.
One day towards the end of term, he decided to give the simpleton class an easy lesson and show them a video on World War II. Now this was the end of the summer term, it was a hot sunny day outside. The documentary was portraying Stalingrad and the harsh Russian winter conditions the armys fought through and to my mate's amazement, some of the kids started putting their coats on because 'it's snowing sir, look.' Having to explain the difference between a TV programme and real life is surely above and beyond for a humble history teacher.
