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.

birds and the beesor maybe tbe wasps?
I'd always assumed that the difference between a bee and a wasp was pretty obvious, but listening to two old (i.e. 60+, I'm not that old) gents on the beach wondering which was which made me wonder 1) how could they not know and 2) what did others assume that I should know?
I still have no answer to question 2, but I'd be happy to know.

Bees and wasps are both species of antSo there's not that much of a difference between them.
(Or maybe it's that bees and ants are both species of wasp. I forget which way around it goes. But you get the picture.)
EDIT: Ah. Bees and ants are kinds of wasp.
