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.

SLVA's 1:1 liquid story reminded me:My ex-stepfather (again) read a story about the queen visiting somewhere and walking up a 1:1 slope.
"Haha, I don't think so!" he chortled. "That would be vertical!"
When I pointed out that it would be 45 degrees, as it meant 1 foot along and 1 foot up, he went and got a 12" rule, which he then held at 45 degrees. This proved I was wrong, as the rule now wasn't standing a foot high.
Producing a maths text book to back me up, I was told "Don't argue" and sent to my room for being cheeky
