The Barracks Off topic stuff. Rattle on about whatever you like here. Rants & raves, general strangeness & anything else you'd like to share. Pretty much a free for all. (Directly political threads do have a fair chance of being binned though).

Dumb?

We REALLY are the weakest link - the hilariously wrong quiz show answers that prove Britain is dumbing down | Mail Online

Below a few examples of what is in store for you, if you haven't already been told about this article. By no means the funniest or the dumbest, I simply picked them out for their relevance to this forum.*

Enjoy, and prepare to be amazed ... or not!

* By that I meant the subject matter and not the standard of knowledge!

Hi Peter,
That was in my top 3 - along with the Jewish Pope and Johnny Weissmuller as ... Jesus.

Anyone else have a favourite?

I like this one:
Chris Moyles: Which 's' is a kind of whale that can grow up to 80 tonnes?
Contestant: Ummm. . .
Moyles: It begins with 's' and rhymes with 'perm'.
Contestant: Shark.

Greg Scott: We're looking for an occupation beginning with T.
Contestant: Doctor.
Scott: No, it's 'T'. 'T' for Tommy. 'T' for Tango.
Contestant: Oh, (pause) Doctor

And you have it in for us for running out of sheep!?!
