This is a question Amazing displays of ignorance

Sandettie 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.

Anatomy
It's the early nineties and my younger sister had some science homework consisting of some questions about the organs of the body. She asks for my Mum's help because, obviously, I'm a biologist and know fuck-all about anatomy.
Anyway...
Question: Name the muscle which causes the lungs to expand and contract.
My Mum's Answer: The Heart.

My Mum is a Nurse!

Wee-eeel
Technically - without the heart, the lungs WONT contract. Will they?

Depending on the method of heart removal
I'd wager they'd probably continue to contract and expand very quickly for a very short period of time.
