	BlackChampagne -- no longer new; improvement also in question.: Galileo Wept... Sunday, August 26, 2007 Galileo Wept... YouTube clips of people unable to answer the simplest questions are quite common, and often good for a painful laugh. This one might be the worst yet, though. I'm just glad it wasn't an American making a mockery of our public education system. For once. I'm just amazed that the host could keep a straight face throughout the entire incident. I'd never have made it without cracking up. The real debate is whether or not 56% of the audience really doesn't know that our, and all, solar systems are heliocentric. I'd like to believe they were just giving bad advice to screw with the guy for not knowing the answer to what had to be one of the easiest questions ever posed on that program, but I'm not willing to bet on that, in this day and age. Update: Malaya pointed out that I should probably credit Copernicus as well, since he was credited with heliocentrism long before Galileo came along. The big G did landmark work with telescopes though, confirmed that Earth orbited the sun, that there were other planets, discovered some of Jupiter's moons, disproved epicycles, and then famously had to abjure it all on threat of excommunication from the Pope. A slight scientific error the Church required only 500 years to rectify. Update #2: So now people are sending me links with other incredibly dumb people on video tape. This one, with Miss South Carolina from the Miss Teen USA pageant explaining why so many Americans can't find the USA on a world map, is my favorite thus far. It's 48 seconds of jaw dropping blondage, and an excellent reminder of why I'd prefer to live out of a dumpster rather than teaching high school students.

This revelation will shatter the reality of an entire class of American dissidents at home and abroad! We aren't the only country capable of raising complete morons! Wait, wait...he was probably an American who immigrated to France after the 2004 election...that's the only explanation... #: 6:29 AM posted by Ryan this film clip is obviously a joke, one aimed at mankind and not just americans or the french . . . i am closely related to only 1 person that stupid #: 3:59 PM posted by Anonymous best part of the teen usa pageant is the host holding the mic to her mouth. Now, how could he possibly stand there without laughing out loud? #: 12:34 PM posted by Gura Post a Comment << Home Archives May 2005 June 2005 July 2005 August 2005 September 2005 October 2005 November 2005 December 2005 January 2006 February 2006 March 2006 April 2006 May 2006 June 2006 July 2006 August 2006 September 2006 October 2006 November 2006 December 2006 January 2007 February 2007 March 2007 April 2007 May 2007 June 2007 July 2007 August 2007 September 2007 October 2007 November 2007 December 2007 January 2008 February 2008 March 2008 April 2008 May 2008 June 2008 July 2008 August 2008 September 2008 October 2008 November 2008 December 2008 January 2009 February 2009 March 2009 April 2009 May 2009 June 2009 July 2009 August 2009 September 2009 October 2009 November 2012
