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.

You think you have a problem?We have a country to the south of us that has a spectacular ignorance of the rest of the world. Not everybody, of course, but enough to be frightening. Check: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talking_to_Americans
Not all that many years ago (30ish), some band students from my school were billeted out to locals in Minot, ND which was holding its annual band festival. They were treated to instructions on how to use flush toilets and electric lighting. Minot is some 100 miles south of Canada!!! WTF??? The kids were extremely polite and asked the people to repeat the instructions so that they wouldn't get it wrong.

Oh brother, another Canadian who feels, errm, small...I liked the years I lived there, but noticed that western Canada hates the east, the anglos hate the Francos, and you have beet salad and fish kissing in Newfoundland. But, on the plus side, you do have the Potato Festival in Grand Falls, so you can't be all that bad.
