    My son went back to college in his late 20s to get a degree that might lead to a job, so he was in class with a lot of 18 year olds.

    He had a astrophysics class, and got in an argument with a girl who insisted that the Sun went around the Earth. He asked her how the length of a year was measured, and she said that long, long ago, some guys just chose an arbitrary number of days to make a year.
