I will never be able to comprehend how so many people can actually believe this malarky.

Occasionally, I try to wrap my mind around the idea of listening to some blowhard (like Mr. Lintballs) tell me untruths every day on the radio and then going and telling other people about this stuff as if it were real. ...I honestly can't imagine it. Yet, I know real thinking practical people that do this. Must be some kind of gang/peer pressure/groupthink mentality.
