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.

I used to work in The accomodation blocks for Birmingham University during my uni summer holidays, doing maintenance work to get the rooms ready for the new students to start.
One day I was in the office and took a call from the well-spoken parent of a soon-to-be student. It went something like this:
me: Hello?
parent: Ah hello there, my daughter moves into your accommodation shortly, but we were wondering, how long is Fresher's Week?
me: Erm, it lasts about a week, madam.
parent: Oh, err, ok! Bye!

Superb.
