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.

Car Trouble.My best mate works in Farnborough, on the rare occasion he's in the office and not working from home or at a client site in the City.
One day he heads out to the Petrol Station at lunchtime to fill up his car, as the Petrol gauge is low. Sure enough, he runs out halfway there, parks up his car and walks the rest of the distance. He dutifully fills up the very small container he buys at the Station with petrol and treks back to his car and drives back to the office.
Come the end of the day, he repeats his earlier journey, and unsurprisingly runs out of petrol halfway to the Petrol Station....
"Why the hell didn't you drive on to the Petrol Station after you'd filled up your car with the thimble-full of petrol you'd bought at lunchtime and get a full tank????" I asked him incredulously, as he relayed this story to me.
"I hadn't thought of that!" he answered.....
