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.

It's all done wiv magnets, innit?We were talking one night about the Earth's magnetic field, and how it periodically reverses polarity. One lad was strugling to keep up. As we wondered if the field decreases to nothing as it flips, he saw his chance to make a contribution.
"I hope not, otherwise we'd all fly off into space!!"
We looked at him, gave ha-yeah-good-joke kind of nods. He looked back blankly. He was serious. He really did think, bless him, that we, and everything else on Earth, was held in place by magnetism.
