I had a colleague once. Terrific guy. He was funny, professional and generally pleasant to be around.

One day I told him I watched Walking with Dinosaurs. He answered, with a deadpan stare, that dinosaur bones were placed in the earth by God to test our faith 😕

    I had a highschool school biology teacher who, despite being very thorough and professional in teaching it, didn't believe in evolution. Turned out he had a few other mistaken beliefs, like the ones about me being attentive in class and studious outside it.

    I used to work with a guy who moonlighted as a Methodist minister. He was mostly a totally normal, nice, funny guy. But every once in a while he would say some absolutely bonkers shit.

    He casually asked me, "where do you think the government is hiding the nephalim bones?"
