h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hey, I´m first on the new page Anyways, I saw an examination an australian student had done, called How Gullible Are We. He managed to make something like 9 out of 10 sign his petition to ban water. Except he didn´t call it water but Hydrodioxid, and used arguments such as "When taken in large quantities it can be lethal" and "The substance has been found in all cancer tumours". I thought it was a very interesting survey. But speaking of how thick we are, take a look at some of the statistics that has been done on Americans. Like how many that still believes the Earth goes around the sun.

Or how many still believe in God, for that matter...

Doesn't the Earth go around the Sun?
Man - I must be thick/misinformed.

Duncan, you're way out of touch! The universe revolves around Ireland. Dublin in particular and Temple Bar to be exact!

Not at all - it revolved very rapidly around "Joe Dolans" in Sligo Town last saturday night! However, it may be that the centre of rotation starts off in Dublin at about closing time and then slowly moves westward....reaching Galway by about sunrise

Hey, I´ve been to Temple bar. Cool place.

Except when it is hot or cold, surely?

Pfff! Those Americans and their crazy "Earth orbiting the Sun" ideas!

Next they'll be telling me our WHOLE SOLAR SYSTEM revolves around it!

Haha! The insanity of it.
