Yeah, *sigh* I can relate. There's some real drips out there that know stuff-all about our surroundings. Just tell them the night sky is a black piece of felt with holes in it.
Every time someone happens to see one of my scopes, they say.."wats that thing!??" when I tell them, they get that " derrr...the light's are on, but nodody's home"...glazed look in their eyes.....5 mins later, they'll ask "how much did that microscope cost??" Now I just tell them it's a home-made newk launcher, just in case the little town I live in get's bombed..
