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.

Many people are Ignorant of the noble art of crabbing.Well 'noble art' could be a bit of a exaggeration, basically you tie a bit of bacon to a string and dangle it into shallow water. The best thing about this is that once one crab grasps on, more crabs grab onto the first crab so when you pull up your line you have a cumulative cluster of crabs.
This being a big part of my childhood beach holidays, I sometimes forget that a lot of people have never heard of it.
So when the conversation at work turned to outdoor pursuits, and I was asked if I fished, the answer:
"No. But I caught crabs before"
led to some hasty explaining. My crabbing line gathers dust, the only thing I catch these days is my foot. Using my mouth.
