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.

Ignorant school teachersI'd like to make it known that I was born in Poland, but have lived in Australia for 29 of my 31 years on this earth.
Way back when I was in grade 4 (I was about 10 at the time) I was quizzed by one of the "teachers" about my country of birth.
Upon replying that I was born in Poland, she then asked, "Oh, Poland? That's right next to Holland isn't it?"
"Yes it is." says I. "Just like Australia is next to Austria."
"Oh yeah, right, near New Zealand". She replies.
Bless the Australian education system.

Oh dear, that reminds meUp until the age of 13 or 14, I was convinced "Aussies" referred to Austrians. I thought a great deal of actors were from Austria for this reason.

Well to be fair...Poland is closer to the Netherlands than Austria is to Australia :)
