General Ignorance Round

Just like QI
this is the round in which we mostly exploit common misconceptions,
for example
Q: How did Gandhi best like to prove his chastity?

A: By taking young naked virgins to bed with him at night.

It came to light (When Gandhi was 77 years old) that he was taking young virgins to bed at night with him. He wasn’t warm enough, you see. Gandhi claimed that he suffered from “shivering fits” and that lying naked in bed next to a young naked virgin was the only cure for it. Of course when that story didn’t hold up Gandhi had no choice but to acknowledge the truth.

He was taking the virgins to bed to test his brahmacharya. In other words, or rather, in English words, he was testing his chastity. Wanting to prove to the world that he was “God’s Eunuch”

Sometimes these young women, no older than 16 in most cases, would be close relatives of Gandhi’s. Cousins, Nephews wives…Gandhi didn’t care.

In fact sleeping with him at night wasn’t all that they did. One, Manu Gandhi (a distant cousin) would Bath and shave Gandhi, monitor his physical condition while he was fasting, as well as giving him enemas.

Gandhi swore off sex at the age of 36, didn’t believe that husband and wife should have sex for pleasure, but should live like Brother and Sister, bonking only when they wanted babies.

Surprisingly, no one really cared. In fact women seemed to love Gandhi and thought him a hunk. The few critics who did try to step in and say, “Um..excuse me?” found that no one actually actually cared enough to do anything about it. He was Gods Eunuch!


Gandhi had women sleeping with him at night til the day of his assassination.

The word peruse is believed to mean glance through, when it actually means to examine in great detail.

Quantum leap is another one I cringe at when I hear it in the meeja.
