If it's cool to snap in a college level biology class over evolution, can one also snap in a creative writing class because grammar is just a theory?

I love the top rated comment on that video made by the video poster:

'Uh oh... this went viral... This is not going to be easy to break to my wife...'

Poor guy has 3 million hits on a video of him taking the piss out of his missus.

The video in the OP got blocked by the time I saw this thread, but I liked the driver who couldnt convince his girl friend that mph means mph.

A buddy and I heard a radio dj ask the trivia question "what everyday object moves one mile in a year?"

My buddy blurted out guesses like "a comet".."an asteriod"... " a meteor".

The guy does have mental problems, but even so I snapped at him for being a dolt.

He whined "tha you always yell at me".

The correct answer turned out to be an "office chair".

The point is that there are indeed many people in the world who cant make the connection that an object that takes a whole year to move one mile is not moving faster than a car that goes "sixty miles per hour"!
