Stupid (and wrong) things people have told you

(Stupid true fact) It IS illegal in Oregon to park your car without setting the parking brake. ORS 811.585

Actually this only applies to leaving a vehicle unattended on a public highway.

sorry your source is incorrect, that may be true in their state but it is not in many states. there are many states that prohibit barefoot driving. i remember missing that question when i was first getting my drivers license in florida. no internet source is going to tell me im wrong when i have seen the law in writing at the DMV.

It's actually not unheard of for the DMV's literature to be incorrect - they explicitly warn you that you are responsible for following the law as codified on the books, rather than relying on the DMV's "interpretation".

Wow. I've heard folks refer to their Winchester '94 as pre or post '64(that is wrong as well), but I didn't know it applied to arms manufactured AFTER 1964 and NOT BY WINCHESTER. HA! I own 600's and 660's. They were introduced in '65 and ran until '69. Were you ever able to prove to him the error of his ways?

I didn't even want to try to inform him. He is the know it all type.

You are quite right of course. I wanted to add something I find fascinating. While Winchester cheapened the entire line in 1964, Remington went the other direction. Ok, maybe not exactly 1964 but roughly. I believe the Models 721, 722, and 725 ended in about 1961 or so and the Model 700 was unveiled. No one has to look to see what rifle grossly outsold all other for the next 40 yrs. or so. A few years back Savage and Weatherby made a big push by offering good shooting rifle that had features that people liked and was affordable. They were joined by a number of foreign manufacturers. Guess whose sales and quality ( as judged my many ) has slipped ? Sadly I always liked Remington. Also sad they will probably sink Marlin too. I'm pretty sure they already sunk H&R....haven't checked in awhile.

It is sad that it seems like Remington quality has slipped. My model 700 is pre 1982. I'm not 100% sure on the year and month it was made, but it is a fantastic rifle that I hunt with every year.

Look up the definition of "highway". It's basically any road.

He seems to think I don't know much about computers too. I took my first computer class in 1966. I have an AA in computers. I've helped run 44,000 node networks, set up Freightliners SAN, run a worldwide business network, managed Oracle Financials teams, built rack mount servers from parts etc. Built and sold computers as a business. I also have several websites out there, but he still thinks I don't know computers!

There is a quote attributed to Mark Twain that injects at least a little hope for the future:

When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.

Of course, in the 19th Century, teenagers may have become more objective as they aged!

Well, he just wants an easy investigation: Tampering with evidence/crime scene and there you go.

I was told something similar, however, there is a significant difference..

"I you shoot someone, make sure he FALLS inside the doorway"
