The Moon is Closer Than Australia.

[Tommy]

"It seems our perceptions of distance as Britons are miles away from reality.

One in ten people polled in a survey about our solar system showed themselves to be space cadets by saying the Moon is closer to Britain than Australia.

In fact, it?s 384,000km (238,000 miles) away ? the equivalent of 25 one-way trips Down Under."

The UK is still the best country in the world but yeah some people are really stupid.

I guess 10% of the country being retarded is pretty standard for every country. But holy ****, some people are so ****ing dumb.

Probably with the logic, "I can see the moon, but not Aussieland".

How on Earth could anyone seriously believe that the moon is closer than Australia?
