    ...Buzz Lightyear if you are really stupid.
    Eleven of the 1009 people surveyed thought Buzz Lightyear was the first person on the Moon.

    The Toy Story film character was named alongside Louis Armstrong. Eight of those taking part thought the late jazz musician made the first moon walk.


    Not quite three quarters correctly answered that Neil Armstrong took the first step onto the Moon.

    Eleven per cent of people polled thought the Apollo programme was a recent as the 1980s, with just 68 per cent knowing that the first moon landing took place in 1969.

    Man never went to the moon. It all took place on a sound stage in New Mexico.
    Now excuse me, some of the tin foil has fallen off my windows and I don't want Major League Baseball knowing what I had for dinner.

    Really because the general consensus is that people have walked on the moon.

    Much like the general consensus that there are no women on the internet, and if they are then it's really a man or Tar.Aldarion...?:pac:

    The results of this survey are probably not surprising if it was all Americans that were surveyed.After all one in five Americans can't locate their country on a map of the world.

    That's why they keep "dropping in" to other countries in the hope that they'll find out where the hell theirs is.

    None of the "are you taking the pi$$" boxes were ticked.

    Those survey people think of everything.
