I distinctly remember a woman answering that an elephant was larger in mass than the moon.
In an unrelated story. I came back from a trip to Auschwitz once and was telling a group of ex coworkers stories of what it's like seeing the little shoes, tattoo images, testing labs etc in person. I see a particularly 'bubbly' girl deep in thought. She then asked when it was, to which I replied WW2.
She looks me dead in the eye and asks me if that's the war William Wallace fought in. My mouth was genuinely agape. I've never felt to closely related to a primate in my life. Obviously got a few laughs, but I had to explain he fought with a sword and shield. Not with tanks and battleships.
