Hmmm… I nominate myself for the stupidest thing ever said.
I didn’t realise the Rilchiam discussion had ended - I was looking at another page of the thread. Apologies. Goat fuckers.
I was gonna say, I already conceded! No stress, jjimm!
Yep- it was Lake Michigan. I’m glad I’m not the only one who didn’t know…lol!

What’s so stupid about that one? the farther you are from the center of the earth, the weaker the gravity would be. (right?) A few thousand feet might not be that much of a difference, but still…
Yeah, Mikahw, I was going to argue that, but gravity also changes with lattitude, and Colorado is further north than Miami. I didn’t feel like trying to find all the equations that would be necessary to find which has stronger gravity.
The important thing is the the strength or weakness of gravity on Earth is the least important factor about how far a baseball will fly.

So, if you fell out of an airplane at 40,000 feet and landed on top of Mount Everest (29,000 ft) you would be significantly less injured than if you fell 11,000 feet to the floor of Death Valley? Puh-leeze. The “stronger gravity” remark was dumb. It’s about on a par with someone saying they are afraid to go to the top of the Empire State Building because the air’s to thin to breathe up there. :rolleyes:
You’re arguing just to be arguing, like, er, well…me. 
Carry on.
One of the stupidest things I have heard lately came out of my own mouth. The other day I had just crawled out of bed from a late nap and decided to start supper. So I turn on the oven and then realize about 5 minutes later that i didn’t check inside to see if there was anything in there. (habit as I had once melted something I was keeping safe in the oven…dont ask) So i open the door and low and behold there is something green and plasticky melting off the grill. So I turn off the oven and call my fiancé
Me:“Babe! did you leave something in the oven?”
He comes over:“No why?”
Me: “Because theres something green and melty in there”
He opens the door and sees the green melty thing and says :“damn, I’m going to have to scrape that off…is the oven on?”
Me thinking he means is it still on at this very second: “No”
He grabs the burner singes his hand and just looks at me totally bewildered
Me: "ooopps! I mean “ya” "
Duuuhhhh…
My wife, who is Catholic, did a double-take when I said that Jesus was Jesus.
After I provided some rationale, such as his having Jewish parents and having studied with rabbis, she said, “You’re putting me on!”
I finally asked, “If Jesus wasn’t Jewish, what was he?”
“He was Christian, of course!” she replied.
Not only am I a member of Christianity, I’m also the President!
I got your wife beat! I did a triple take at that line…
Re: If Jesus wasn’t Jewish, what was he???

Must be a zen thing…
I’m starting to enjoy this thread to much.
I’ve heard this about a dozen times in appliance stores:
Old man:I’m returning this t.v. you sold me. You claimed it was “cable ready”.
Salesman: It is cable ready.
Old man: Bullshit! I turned it on and It didn’t have any cable channels on it!
Salesman: Do you have a cable hook-up at your house.
Old man: No! That’s why I wanted a “cable ready” set, so I wouldn’t have to pay for cable.
I swear I’ve actually heard that conversation take place. Then there’s this:
Mama Beitz: Do you remember Hal Goldman? His great grand-daughter is getting married.
Pkbeitz: Who?
Mama Beitz: Hal Goldman.
pkbeitz: Who the hell is Hal Goldman?
Mama Beitz: Oh, come on. You remember him. He lived on the corner, they had that big blue car.
pkbeitz: Ma, I don’t remember no Hal Goldman!
Mama Beitz: You don’t remember that ugly dog he used to walk around the block? He had a massive heart attack and died right there on the side walk. That must of been in the summer of '59.
pkbeitz: For the love of Christ, Ma! I wasn’t even born until 1960! How the hell can I reminisce about someone I’ve never met!
Mama Beitz: I’ll bet you could if you tried.
:rolleyes:
Geez, Mr. Beitz, is no one to be spared your vitriol in the Pit? Not even your sainted mother? ON MOTHER’S DAY? What is this world coming to?

I wasn’t present, and it was 30 years ago, but here’s the true story…
Before I met her, my wife lived with her girlfriend. This was in the early 1970s. One night, the two of them were watching television. On some variety show Simon and Garfunkel were guest performers. They started singing. My wife, not being quite sure who was who, turns to her girlfriend and asks her “which is the one on the left?”.
Her girlfriend says, in all seriousness, answers “the blond one.”
My wife stares at her with the proverbial dropped jaw. The girlfriend defensively says “what?”. Then a few seconds later she realizes what she had just done and they both crack up.
To this day, all I have to do to get either one of them to laugh is to ask “which is the one on the left?”
This happened last week in a Spanish class.
The teacher is taking a group of students on an educational trip to Europe next summer, and she was giving a list of the requirements: the assorted costs, estimated spending money, a passport, etc. The conversation turned to passports, and how some students hadn’t needed them when taking vacations to touristy areas of Mexico.
SuperDitz: Well, I didn’t need a passport when I took my trip to Washington, D.C.
Class: :::silence:::
Me: SuperDitz. Passport. As in passing a port. They’re only required to leave the country. Jesus.
SD: That wasn’t very nice.
Me: smacks forehead
I mentioned today to some stranger in my office" I haven’t watched TV since the Super Bowl. I only watch videos on VD’s–I mean DVD."
Can I go with the dumbest thing I heard today?
Bookstore-Girl (i.e., me) - “Here’s the section you’re looking for, within the section the books are arranged by the authour’s name.”
Customer- " Alphabetically?"
Me- “No of course not, according to where the authors name falls in The Lamb’s Book Of Life.”
Me, Out Loud- “Umm, yes.”
Old college roommate’s parents are down to for the first time, they seem to be like a very nice couple, I was warned that his mom could be stupid and sure enough I find out how dumb with what she says.
“They put the freezer on the top of the refridgerator because cold air rises”
I just stood there for a minute and then I had to excuse myself before I exploded in laughter.
The best one I ever actually heard:
At a car show, I was displaying my car next to an original unrestored 1948 Cadillac. The car was painted deep maroon and had a small display easel set up with a large poster proclaiming the car’s originality, copies of the original bill of sale, etc.
One twentysomething to another: “That car isn’t original. It’s maroon! They didn’t have color back then!” :rolleyes:
