Stupidest Thing You've Ever Heard?

Anybody hear something incredibly brainless IRL, that reminds you of why the Darwin Awards are still around? I thought it'd be fun to 'share the love'.

I'll start with something I overheard today on the bus. There were a couple of teenage snotballs sitting behind me, talking about how 'hardcore' they are and other things that the younger generation like to gab about. I was doing my best to ignore the whole conversation. Then, out of the blue, I hear one of the pimply-faced losers yell at the guy next to him: "You can't die from alcohol, dumbass!" Yeah, you keep thinking that, Junior... :roll:

I was told that my computer didn't have VRAM one time.

I've also been informed that 8 mm camcorders switch to digital when the screen is open...

"Bullet-Time was shot on one camera! They just sped it down later!" (same person as the frames one...needless to say I no longer talk to him).

I overheard someone saying "Harry Potter was real" once. Then, there are all those new age kooks.

You're sure that the guy saying "Harry Potter was real" was NOT a new age kook?

A previous job a co-worker said black people had to pay higher taxes simply because they were black.

I've heard many stupid things, but a guy - whose name shall not be mentioned - once tried to convince me that Peter Jackson never made a movie based on Lord Of The Rings.... in 2001.

Hmmm, I didn't know about that...but she was in the UK and over here you have to have insurance to drive a car. Very scary. She's a woman. She's blonde. She'll be driving soon. People of South England - clear the roads and take cover!!!

Anytime I hear somebody automatically discount anything a person says, just because they don't approve of or like that person, rather than actually listen to the argument, and refute or accept it on its own merits.

Yeah, what do you do when someone does that? Well, in my experience with that particular statement, just don't make a similar claim about a democrat or liberal; they'll often getreally mad and tell you you're being unreasonable or unfair. :roll: :roll:

I didn't think I really need to add the preamble: "The stupidest thing I've ever heard is..."

I figured that part was pretty well understood, given the title of this thread and all.

Ah, it just seemed that you were going to finish by saying 'Anytime I hear anyone say ______ I go off in a sucidial rage' or something.

"A penis is just like a sausage, it's not gonna hurt if you cut it off or anything!" I was quite tempted to castrate him on the spot so that he can't contaminate the genepool with his stupidity.
