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.

More phone settingsKitescreech has reminded me of this one.
Backstory - I have a degree in Spanish and was doing a teacher training course at the time. My housemate smoked a lot of weed. One day my mobile rang:
Him: What's Turkish for "language"?
Me: Dunno, why?
Him: I was playing with my phone settings and switched the language to Turkish. Now I want to switch it back.
Me: Can't help you mate, I don't know Turkish.
Him: But I thought you were good at languages!
Me: Yeah, Spanish and Portuguese, not Turkish.
Him: Shit! I can't think of anyone else to ask.
Me: Well, you know that nice Turkish family who live next door...
Moral: Being clever isn't about knowing everything, just knowing who to ask.
