Same thing about Al Gore, and the McDonalds burn lawsuit, and countless more. Lack of knowledge breeds a level of confidence that knows no bounds.

I always hated this smarmy anecdote. Glad it's bullshit.

I have a Fisher Space Pen that I use in my day-to-day life and I hear this anecdote about 36,453 times a day (on average) . I really want to print this out so I can just hand it to people when I hear it. I fear that might make me come across as snide though.
