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.

A colleague of minewanted to know where Veal came from. After a worryingly little amount of effort, we managed to convince him it grew on trees in Veal Orchards.There was a slight wobble in his understanding when he looked confused, and stated that he thought veal was a meat. "Naaah, that's venison you're thinking of".
Same colleague, spent ten minutes trying to get rid of a dead pixel on an LCD screen by moving a magnet over it in a circular fasion, on our recommendation. We thought the game was up when a more senior engineer came over and started laughing, but were relieved when his only comment was "You idiot.... ANTI-clockwise" and left him to it.
