1.\u00a0 Obama’s A Muslim<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

According to the Pew Research Center<\/a><\/strong>, 18% of Americans believe Obama is a Muslim. Most likely, the same people also hate Muslims. Put it together, and there’s a chance that one in five Americans hate our President because of his supposed religion.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Moon Landing Was A Hoax<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A huge number of Americans<\/a> <\/strong>believe that the moon landing was staged. Aside from the sheer stupidity of that, it raises a bigger question: If it was faked, how would Buzz Aldrin be bedding lady space groupie after space groupie if he hadn’t actually<\/em> been on the moon? He would not. Thus, real.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Sun Revolves Around The Earth<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I know Americans have a tendency to be a bit self-involved, but this is a bit much. According to a Gallup poll in 1999<\/a><\/strong>, 18% believed that the earth was the center of the universe. On a side note, 3% said “no opinion.” Those folks could not be bothered with such pedestrian quandaries.<\/p>\n

Oh, and for those 18% who believe this, that picture is Galileo. That guy knew his shit.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Ghosts Are The Real Deal<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One in three<\/a><\/strong> Americans believe in Ghosts. All Americans believe in Ghost<\/em>. Both have no business existing.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 Dinosaurs and Humans, BFFs<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As of a couple years ago, n<\/strong>early one-third of Texans <\/strong><\/a>believed that dinosaurs and humans roamed the earth at the same time. Yup. Oh, and at least one Alaskan, as well.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0 Evolution? That’s A Bit Of A Stretch<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A 2004 study<\/a><\/strong> showed that 51% of Americans believed in Creationism. Over half of the people in this country thought humans just showed up one day and were ready for homeschooling.<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0 Environmentalists Intentionally Caused The Oil Spill<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So you know that oil spill that ruined the ocean, killed thousands of animals, and pretty much brought the country to a standstill? Environmentalists fault. It’s so obvious, I can’t believe only 10% believe this<\/a>.<\/strong> To save what you love, you must sacrifice it. Those sick bastards.<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0 The Existence of Aliens<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It’s an old study, but not much has changed since 1999 in regard our nation’s knowledge of Alien life forms. And that’s unfortunate, as 80% of Americans<\/a><\/strong> believe the country’s keeping something under wraps in Roswell. Actually puts the rest of the list in perspective, doesn’t it?<\/p>\n

9.\u00a0 Fox News Most Trusted Channel In News<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Over half<\/a><\/strong> are convinced of this. Well, after that aliens stat, you can’t be that shocked.<\/p>\n

Bonus:The most sadistic thing ever invented, but I haven’t over-snoozed in 2 weeks now<\/strong><\/p>\n
