How did it go down? aerocontrols Send a noteboard - 26/01/2012 06:58:55 PM
Here is how I imagine it:

Host: "Contestant #1, please answer the following question: True or False, the earth the centre of the solar system?"

C1: (thinks about it for a while) "True?"

Host: "I'm sorry, that's incorrect... Contestant #2?"

C2: (Confidently) True!

Host: "Once again, true is incorrect. Contestant #3?"

C3: (Immediately) "Your mother was at the center of my solar system last night, Trebek!"


My favorite ever ignorant contestant was someone who couldn't correctly guess the next letter to the following puzzle on Wheel of Fortune:

Captain _ir_ of the Starship Enterprise.

"I'll take a 'd', Pat"
Hollywood has the best moral compass, because it has compassion.

Well, there is kind of a big hint in the name. Joel - 26/01/2012 08:19:05 PM 890 Views
I thought you were talking a little closer to home. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 26/01/2012 10:36:56 PM 282 Views
Defining the Sun as the center of the solar system isn't really right either Isaac - 26/01/2012 11:28:44 PM 924 Views
Huh. Is the system's barycenter actually outside the Sun? I thought it was in the corona. *NM* Ghavrel - 26/01/2012 11:49:23 PM 258 Views
It moves, between the photosphere and the Corona Isaac - 27/01/2012 12:58:15 AM 667 Views
Asimov has a relevant quote. Dreaded Anomaly - 27/01/2012 12:55:56 AM 710 Views
Funny I almost quoted him myself, though a different bit Isaac - 27/01/2012 01:24:33 AM 626 Views
You haven't seen true idiocy until you've watched some Family Feud *NM* Praziquantel - 27/01/2012 12:59:41 AM 306 Views
I suppose idiocy might be a good description. Chas - 27/01/2012 01:36:01 AM 907 Views

Some people just have blinders about things they don't care about Ray - 28/01/2012 02:37:42 PM 733 Views
