Talking of stupid...
I just watched our CG neighbour, just one site over, spend several hours, tryimg to align a portable dish antenna for satellite TV.
He had the right idea, got his compass out, consulted the manual, looked at the stars, cast the runes, hooked up the little box that tells him "up a bit, left a bit", but somehow, for no obvious reason, just couldn't get it working. I mean, he was following the instructions, what could be wrong??
The poor man seemed to be unaware that this is a deep valley, and he was trying to aim his dish through a mountain....
I suppose I should have told him, but some people react badly when they find out they're being an idiot... it was much more fun watching !
