What's the dumbest thing you've ever heard or overheard someone say?

This conversation I had during the time I was in College (British College is 16-18 years old).
I was talking to a friend from school about all the new people I had met.
I told her that one person had come from South America (The Falkland Islands to be specific).
*Side fact - Apparently in the Falklands they do not have colleges or universities so have to come to United Kingdom if they want to continue their education.
Her response upon hearing where my new friend had come from was "Really!!" "How does he get here everyday!"
I facepalmed.

In another incedent I have a friend from school who isn't the sharpest tool in the box.
He was trying to be a boy racer (the kind who try to be the "Need for Speed"ers).
He once asked my brother about wanting to fit NoS in his car.
My brother responded by saying; "Don't bother it's too expensive and dangourous if you don't mix it right"
His response was to ask "What about those red things?" pointing at fire-extingusihers
At this point I interjected by stating "You want to use fire-extinguishers to ENHANCE the combustion process in your car?!!"

We were watching this in my English class in preparation for an assignment, and near the end, a girl asked if it was based on a true story.
during a lecture about darwinism at university:
idiot: how do we know all these things that you're talking about?
Lecturer: erm. We just do. From books and things.
idiot: But I've never heard of evolution or Darwin so how can it be real?

A couple of my friends went on a few-days visit to Paris once. One day, Friend 1 suggested to Friend 2 that they go to the Louvre the following day. Friend 2 said "Ok, is that a night club or something?". We still make fun of that friend for that one occasionally. Alas, recently she asked me "Is Bulgaria in Europe?", about a month after she booked a holiday to go there.
Also, I knew someone who is very racist and was always professing how proud he is to be British, and he believes that non-white British people are not "really" British. He on one occasion asked me "Who was Winston Churchill? Was he an inventor or something?". And he considers me "foreign" even though I was born in England, just because I lived in Canada for a long time and have the remnants of an accent, so I loved the irony of having to explain that one to him.

See, this is the kind of shit that also pisses me off. People talk about racism and sexism here and all kinds of shit, but as soon as someone who is not 100% fine with gay people shows up, nobody wants to go there. I stand alone saying that I AM NOT TOTALLY FINE WITH GAY PEOPLE. THEY DISTURB ME. And then I get gang-raped by people who think they are being really tolerant and awesome by saying that I am a homophobe and pathetic etc. I know exactly what you think about me because I have a lot of empathy. Here you are defending gay people and thinking I'm some kind of conservative and ignorant moron. Well, it's not like that.Vault101 said:
I once overheard a girl talking to her friend on the bus about sex... She was in 12th Grade at the time...
Girl-"Wait! Your telling me that there's more than one sperm every time he goes off???"
*Wait... It gets worse*
Friend-"Yeah! Theres like... dozens of them!"
...they must live in a magical world... Where every day holds new exciting wonders and mysteries...
EDIT: Oh yeah! I forgot a good one!
A friend of mine has little brothers in Middle School... They are completely racist and homophobic and surprisingly cruel and sadistic... Anyways, I heard them talking once...
*watching American News (BTW they live in Canada)*
"Look at all those fucking Mexicans! Coming into our country, stealing our shit..."
"Yeah... fuckin chinks! I'm surprised they can even see through those squinty eyes!"
...okay then... that was an absolutely terrible thing to say and I'm pretty sure I gave one of them a good slap for that but they didn't even get their racial slurs right??? These guys are too stupid to be correctly stupid!!!

Oh I see, no - the wording was completely correct, just a flaw in the English language.vrbtny said:

Well if you were at chenobyl.... or stand naked next to a nuclear reactor. Maybe...ThatLankyBastard said:
This kid could have juts come up with the next generation insult. All history set aside, isn't calling someone a Nazi-Jew effectively a double insult. With compound interest that makes like..... a hell of a insult.ChaplainOrion said:
If I'm not mistaken, aren't there a lot of people that aren't totally fine with gays and are disturbed by them? Also, I appreciate your honesty, but if it's only the thought of two men having sex that makes you think that it's wrong, that doesn't really give a good reason for why they can't adopt. And one more thing: is it just gay men, or gay women as well?CRRPGMykael said:
OT: One of my friends, being reasonably intelligent, once said that the glass is always full (in the glass half full or empty metaphor). He goes on to explain that even if you take a full cup of water and empty half of it, there's still air in it. Fair enough. I said if you put it in a vacuum, the cup wouldn't have any air in it. In response, a girl nearby said this:
Girl: But if you put it in a vacuum, wouldn't there be dust and stuff in it?
Me: No, I mean like the vacuum of space.
Girl: But there's still stuff in space, I mean, it can't be empty can it?
Me: Yes, yes it can.
you may not be fine with gayness on a personal level..Im sure plenty of people arnt, but that doesnt mean you need to go spewing stuff like thisCRRPGMykael said:
personality trait" as many describe it. And yeah, whatever, if they wanna get married so fucking much just let them, but BY FUCK, don't let them adopt children (mindfuck)[/B]
I am atheist and judging gays just by saying "it's a sin" is ridiculous. I judge them because imagining a man with with a hairy ass fucking another man with a hairy ass is just......yeah, you know[/B]
because its making you come across that way...weather you really are homophobic or not (its the swearing)
the issue of gay couples having children is a hot-topic that I am undecided on, youd need to ask an expert on the science ,But Id be leaning towards being ok with it if there still wasnt such a prdjudice against it..especially from other children, I mean it does exist..youd have to look at studys to see how those kids turned out
all I can gather from what your saying is "I find it disgusting..therefore it is WROOOOOONG"
Here is an example from American politics
Hank Johnson a Congressman from Georgia stood before a Armed Services Committee to explain how the U.S. military's arrangement of forces could flip Guam over.
a more personal experience with stupidity
When I was 8, I was talking with one of the cub scout leaders in our pack about how did we know how old stuff was in archeology. When I mentioned carbon dating, he told me that carbon dating was inaccurate because the tested sample can never have been wet to get an accurate date. He told me with a strait face that this is why we know that fossils aren't millions of years old, because they got wet at some point.
