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.

City boys...Whilst at work, one of the guys on my team (age 33, Essex) came across a fact in a pseudo-science news article along the lines of how many thousand earths it would take to fill the sun. He then pipes up "I wonder how many earths it would take to fill the moon."
Thinking he'd just slipped up I said "You mean how many moons it would take to fill the earth?" ...There ensued the most unbelievable debate as to which was bigger, it actually split the team, two of the guys convinced that the moon was bigger.
In the end the other of the two Googled it and declared "It's OK guys I've found the answer, we're actually all right. It says here that there is conflicting opinion and that nobody really knows."
OMG

He was lying, I bet.He Googled up something that made it clear the earth's bigger. But rather than admit he'd got it wrong, he bullshitted (bullshat?), and, in an effort to save face, made up the stuff about it being a matter of conflicting opinion.
