They were just screwin' with him.

The French are so rude.

To be fair, they are a Catholic country.

I don't think about the Civil War in my daily life but I still know that General Lee wasn't just the name of the car from Dukes of Hazzard.

The other day I was speaking with a recent college graduate who majored in education. I brought up the name Walter Mondale and he had no idea whom I was talking about.

In all honesty, is there anyone here who's never heard of Walter Mondale?

The politician? No. I don't see how not knowing a vice-president from before I was born is on the same level as not knowing that the moon rotates around Earth.

They were extremely consistent with how they answered incorrectly, though.

Examples, mr. Enjoy? Or would you like to keep that head of yours firmly up your ass as usual, you fucking troll?

At least their honest-to-god rocket scientists and space engineers never lost a 7,600,000 project because one of the subcontractors insisted on using an archaic measurement system that was based on an even more archaic measurement system.

(I love the ESA for their software language choice.)

Dude, Enjoy, think about how many Keith Olberman clips get posted here and 5'd by drooling fanboys. Political humor outside of "BUSH AM DUM" is just incomprehensible.

It might just be a bad translation. Babelfish says "gravite" means "revolve".
