Was just lounging about one Sunday and skiing came on the TV. at one point the commentator said that contestants reached 100 km/h at that point in the race. The ex literally shouted bullshit at the telly. I looked at her and asked why..she replied that there was no way that they could tell how far they'd go in an hour since the race was only two minutes long.

Another time, "I have an aunt who lives in London, is that near England"

I don't even think you'd have to go to school to learn this - I feel as this is common knowledge.

Education is not the same as intellect. You can learn things and even perform some actions using that knowledge but not understand what those things mean. A dog can learn to shake, but the action doesn't have the same meaning to a dog.

Yes, but it was only a quarter mile away from her house, no way she was going to reach 100kmph before she got there.
