50% of Adults Believe the Mind-Erasing Devices from "Men In Black" Are Real And 20% Believe That Light Sabers are Real



This is a survey out of the U.K., but I get the feeling like it applies pretty well over here too. The bottom line: When it comes to technology from movies, a LOT of people have problems separating the science from the fiction. Check this out:

--Almost 50% of adults believe the mind erasing device from "Men In Black" exists.

--More than 40% believe hoverboards exist, like the one in "Back To the Future Part Two". Almost 25% believe that teleportation is possible right now.

--Almost 20% think you can SEE gravity. And more than 20% believe that light sabers exist.
--More than 90% of women who listen to Brady In The Morning think they will come into large amounts of money if they send him pictures of themselves naked.
