LOL, so funny, you guys cheered up my dreary Monday.

Here's one for you, my mum thought that satellites were bolted onto scaffolding in outer space to stop them falling back onto earth...LMAO.

I can't believe I come from the same gene pool sometimes

Wait, the wings don't flap on planes??!

This one time I signed thanks with my hand while driving to the car ahead for giving me way.

The car was parked with nobody inside.

I died inside.

They do if it's on a treadmill.

When I was at uni a couple of pranksters set up a petition stall to "end women's suffrage". They had over 300 signatures when I passed it at 3 in the afternoon.

I thought that was originally an Ali G thing?

It's worse when they pull over to let you pass, then you go to thank them and they've actually parked and are getting out the car. I've done that

I got told that an aubergine looks quite similar to an eggplant.

I know a teacher who teaches cooking. She used to be a chef in London.

She 100% believes that tin foil is shiny on one side and matte on the other for cooking purposes. Reflection and refraction of heat.

She teaches this to her children.

Mark me down as another one that thought this! So probably not such an idiot thing to say if so many thinks this

I have actually done that alarmingly often.

See the whole tin foil thing is more of an urban myth than a stupid thing to say.

Mother: She looks Chinese, not Asian

I recently been finding out that Chinese/Japanese people actually don't like being called Asian as they regard Asian as Pakistani/Indian/Bangladeshi and don't like being lumped into the same race as them as they couldn't be more different!

I'm incline to agree actually! Not sure why we call everyone east of Israel 'Asian' seems a little dumb to me

Was watching Independence Day with my best mate. His sister walks in during that scene where the White House gets obliterated and asks "is this a true story?"

I have had the old argument of Whether Sherlock Holmes was a real person with someone before.

I'm starting to see a trend here.

Perhaps there is a large portion of females who do not question information ad believe the first thing they read or are told?

You stereotypical female interests don't really involve understanding a concept or something physical, whereas guys tend to be in stats/numbers (sports, cars, computers) and delve deeper to understand what they are interested in.

That's up there with waving to a friend, then realising it's just some random... then making like you didn't really wave as they walk toward you.

That's very true, oriental is the correct term, or just call them from where they're from. The "Asian" thing is an American thing though, I think it's literally a case of "Not black, not white, not "Native American", must be "Asian".

I dont really like it when people mention names of game developers in the pc games forum.

I couldnt care less about the name of some dude who designed the lighting in metal gear solid. But the people in that forum seem to align them with a list celebrities. Its just weird to me and makes me cringe every time.

I play games a LOT but I don't put some daylight shirker on a pedestal.

Yeah I get that there are some big people in game design, people like that guy who did Mario. But in that forum its always some guy who designed a game map or something.

I think you've got the wrong thread, I also think you're exaggerating a tiny tiny minute amount.

No I think they are morons.
