on the very day we lost stephen hawking...

the world's collective IQ took a big dip with his passing and it is unlikely to be saved by this lot. 

i was flicking the tv in the background. a kids' school quiz program. 

the question for the kids - "what did albert einstein invent?" now, leaving aside the concept of 'discovering' as opposed to 'inventing', the kid answered reasonably well.

E = MC2.

"yes", says the host. "that is correct. the theory of evolution." 

lord, spare me.

One thing is for certain Ken, mass-energy equivalency breaks down in regards to this host's brain :rolleyes:

How could you be SO wrong in one sentence.  Jeez, wrong scientist, wrong theory.  Poor Darwin.

We're doomed, aren't we?!

Host was brain dead.....kid sounded smart. I think it's a matter of the older generation should have more Darwin awards. :lol:

Let's be realistic: kids can't spend their days with their nose glued on their "smart"phone AND learn science/general culture at the same time…

No, that wasn't Darwin.  Isaac Newton invented radioactivity . . . AND he was a girl! :P

No, no, Grease invented democrats. And Plato invented the Republicans. But no discussion of politics on FOH!

No, they didn't invent Grease they discovered Grease and turned it into a major Broadway Musical, once it left the EU of course.

And it was Charlie Brown that invented beagles, not Einstein.

Everyone knows it was Darwin who discovered Beagles, in the Galapagos.  Einstein did patent Charlie Brownian motion though.

Oh right!  That was D'Artagnan who discovered the Galapagos.  The Beagles were from Great Britain however, lots of hits, Abbey Road, etc.

And while Einstein did patent it, it was actually Erma Bombeck who invented the Brownian.  Mmmmm . . . I loves me a good Brownian! :drool:

And I always thought it was the lead singer of Black Lace who invented it when a pineapple fell on his head, hence the song Agadoo!
