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.

Blind stupidityI was sat in the cinema with my friend Emma, watching the million adverts before the actual film when an advert came on for what the cinema is doing for blind/deaf people...
Me: "Why would you bother going to the cinema if you were blind?"
Emma: "Yeah its stupid, you'd just read the book instead"
...I'll never let her forget that one!

For half a second, before she realised how moronic she was being, she was about to suggest that it was so blind drivers could tell which direction the wheels were pointing......

or...*audio books*And in the cinema, if my blind mate doesn't get what's going on (e.g. asplosions or long silences), she pokes me and makes me describe it.

I don't get it.Blind people can read books if they're braille. Or in large print - not everyone legally blind is 100% don't-know-what-sunshine-looks-like blind.
