I would say the dumbest thing I've read today would be a "retirement" message for a 2Lt with a couple weeks more than 2 years in.

That's not retiring from the armed forces. That's just quitting.
"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.  Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘Press On’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."
- Calvin Coolidge

Was browsing Youtube and found this gem.  Poor Jesse Ventura, a poor debater, and even poorer theorist.  Pay attention to 3:24 "How could the buildings fall at the rate of gravity?"; dumbest question EVER.

You can see my comments below the vid.

'Drinking' neat vodka through your EYE for a quick buzz? It sounds insane, but countless young people are risking their sight in this new craze

Too bad it only puts their sight at risk, otherwise they could be nominated for a Darwin Award.   ::)

Just for the receord, I found this site after typing "Tornado Air Filter" into google. All I'm saying is that I'm not entirely sure your Dad was the only one being dumb here. :)
