Stupidest things you've ever heard

Two of them came yesterday from my sister.

"Did you know that Pakistan in't actually the capital of Iraq? I only found out the other day but it's its own country. Apparently it's near India."

followed, when asked if she wanted some trifle, by "isn't a trifle a type of gun?"

Beat that.

This comes from an acquaintance, but it's a gem nonetheless. Conversation between two girls, one who spends more time in front of the mirror than at school, the other a bookworm.

"Do tell, what do you do in your free time?"
"Well...I read quite a lot."
"You. Read. In your. Spare time?"
"Yes, in my spare time."
"But you do other things."
Other things were detailed.
"OK. What kind of books do you read?"
"I read lots of different things...Nabokov, Murakami, a lot of books for children and young people..."
"Er...what are they about?"
Pause. ".....that changes from book to book..."
"Oh!" *face breaks out in comprehension* "It's like the movies, only it's books?"
