The most retarded thing someone said to me this year...

Perhaps not quite as stupid as that the original but I've seen a worrying number of people advocate filling up volcanoes with tungsten carbide to prevent eruptions. There are also those people who are either really stupid or taking the piss who suggest a nuclear bomb as a solution to everything, from erupting volcanoes to oil leaks.

That's just retarded!!!

(so yeah maybe i should use that given that they don't know what i know but still)

The magma will find a way and it will erupt and if theres a bigger pressure build up it will cause more damage.

My parents next door neighbour actually suggested that when the unpronouncable Icelandic volcano went up. No hint of irony, just "Nuke it".

That is actualy a very good solution, do you think that a nearby village will care that a volcano is erupting if they have just got nuked? I don't think so!

Lol, I guess I hadn't thought about it that way. Although I think the comments are more towards stopping the volcano than *ahem* taking peoples minds off it. I recall someone saying that it would "blast the magma chamber almost to Mars" :facepalm:

it reminds me of a few months back at college where there was this girl who openly said (this was at college keep in mind) that the universe revolved around the earth and that it was all only 6000 years old...
also she said how can it be expanding? there is nowhere for it to go.

Lol, she will go far in college, having everything figured out in the cosmos like that already will make scientific studies a cinch

I went to the convenience store to pick up a quart of milk.. I know the owner so we discuss things. One of his employees, a friend asked me about video games so we started discussing a video game I was playing called "The Witcher".

Another customer came over and said to me,
YOU BETTER PRAY!. I'm like...
"Excuse me?"...
"YOU BETTER PRAY!" he repeated.
I said "Why?".
 "Playing with witchcraft is the devils work. You need to repent!" he responded...
So to twist the knife a little and because it's true, I said "I don't believe in God".
He responded "THAT'S JUST SILLY! DON'T BE SILLY!"

He then wandered off.... *shrug*

Well, she's kind of right. As long as it's in the veins, it's blue. When you bleed, it reacts with the oxygen in the air and turns red.

Hooray for the Magic School Bus! :D

It's not really blue in your veins, rather it's red with a very slight purplish tinge to it. I can't personally even see this purplish tinge-it just appears as a darker red than arterial blood to me, but that's mild colour deficiency for you.

I have come across the belief that venal (is that the right word) blood is actually blue. But that was when I was about 6 and even then I was fairly sure that was nonsense.

Does blood even have a color when you can't see it? Yeah, I went all philosophical on your ass... that's right!

It must both have and not have a color until it is observed.

That's right! I went all Schrà¶dinger's Cat on your ass there.
