Okay, I was watching Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO last week and they had quite an interesting panel on, including George Carlin - who I enjoy to watch and read his books - who pointed out a very interesting fact:
That 20 to 25% of Americans believe the sun goes around the earth.
Maybe before working at the Zoo and dealing with the general public everyday I wouldn't have believed it, but since getting my eyes ripped open there to how stupid people really are, I do believe it.
I tried to Google the line to see if I could actually find that as a published fact, and I did see it mentioned in a couple articles in odd online newspapers, but nothing of any weight. Although in an odd side-note I did discover there is an online group who still believes the Earth is flat.
Anyway, while I'm not surprised, it still is rather sad... but then again, look at our glorious "President"...
So what are your thoughts my fellow Weirdos?
