Jeremy Clarkson has been exposed as a big liar after claiming that the Stig had magnetic knees.
Our telly star made the comment on a recent episode of Top Gear, but since the shock revelation that the Stig may actually be a human being with a driving licence, boffins are saying there’s no way his knees could be magnetic.
“There’s no way his knees could be magnetic,” stormed Professor Philip Glenister, head of Oxford University’s Lower Limbs Department. “Human knees are complex structures that can bend your leg in the middle, but magnetic properties? Forget it.”
Clarkson was unrepentant last night: “Bungling BBC bosses made me do this,” he stormed. “This could cost the licence payers hundreds of thousands of pounds, or something.”
I thought Stig was a thing not a human.
But Jeremy, does he have magnetic elbows too?
why do people care so much about who it is?!
WHAT DO YOU GAIN FROM KNOWING WHO IT IS?!
I think Jezza just said that the Stig has magnetic NEEDS. He licks ducks, not for refreshment but for their homing device, which all migrating birds have.
Is ‘The Mole ‘ 3 years old?
Apparently, one of his knees also seems to attract cats.
Its not me. Stop saying it is
Ben, you really hav magnetic knees???
I guess it’s a slow news day.
The only way to dispell this rumour is to get Ben Collins and The Stig side by side. You couldn’t do that with Clark Kent and Superman!!
Well done, Prove it. Hear, hear.
the world has gone mad the stig does not have magnetic knees because they are actually made of pure olive oil and taste of sandpaper
(dont ask how i know that)
So Northerners arent edible?
so?
how much of a penis do you have to be research if having magnetic knees actually… matter = none.
i do have magnetic knees
Stig has hydraulic limbs!!!. That professor needs a life. Who in their right minds doesn’t know that Stig doesn’t have magnetic knees. He has a rack and pinions for knees. Argue with that Professor penis-less!!
pesonally i thought stigs knees were made of a smelly french cheese,just shows what a peanut i am….p.s i heard a whisper who the stig is or mite be…you know what…I DONT WANT TO KNOW..and i dont care but i bet he is not of this earth or anything else come to think of it but he does buy stipey tops from the same shop as the captain..nuff said..byeeee
the stig is from my home planet where they are kept as pets
I’m not Ben, he should be a guest though. My limbs are magnetic, and they do attract cat’s. Fortunatley I tell Jezza what to say!
It’s probably not Ben Collins. It’s not even proved that it’s a human.
i think that guy who we think he is not who the stig they are luying to us
some say he’s a heroin addict and that his helmet smells of burned tinfoil, all we know is he’s not the stig but pete dorety!

Prof. Philip Glenister… does he have a colleague called Dr. John Simm? Or maybe a brother called Prof. Robert Glenister? Does he happen to be head of the limbs-that-don’t-exist department?
I think that somebody should resign over this.
So who wants to know who the Stig is??
If we found out, would you want to know?? I wouldn’t!! The Stig is like Santa- I don’t wanna know if he’s real or not!!!
Some say the reporter & editor of a certain newspaper should be fired off an aircraft carrier in a white XJS.
Youre all wrong, the stig’s knees operate on a mcpherson strut arrangement with his thigh bones operating as a shock absorbers.
And, sorry Chris, but santa isnt real lol
Some say he has the leg components of C-3PO, and that he doesn’t have magnet knees because an Oxford professor with a BEARD said so. All we know is, he is called The Stig.
Here is a good line for The Stig for next season Clarkson!!
@ Prove it!!
What would be the point of having them seen side by side? Having a member of the TG team dressed up in The Stig’s racing gear is all that would be required to maintain the fiction that Ben is not The Stig (if indeed he is).
Magnetic Knees? I thought those are magneto rheological dampers, like what they use for 599GTB.
My ‘I am not the Stig’ T-shirt lost value know that they uncovered him >:(
I’m not Ben, you would know if it was, get Ben as a guest, if he beatss 1.44 seconds, then he is the stig, even though it’s me, My leg is hydrolic, my knee is magnetic and I’m always in cars at the test track to avoid being chased by strays.
I hope no one finds out who the stig is because its like ruining the ending of a book/movie (even though you will never find out)
I thought that only Magneto had magnetic knees? So maybe The Stig and Magneto are the same ‘thing’
that would mean Stig is a MUTANT…
I know who Ben Collins isn’t
And yes, I share my appartment with Elvis
I think that Stig really does have magnetic knees but I also thing that JC doesn’t have magnetic neck as seen in the GTR.
thats not fair ben you said you would tell noone. how dare you
Whoever it was in the office who wrote ‘Some say he is bored of …’ Will you please go back and correct it.
See me after school.
Isn`t The Stig a tame racing driver, not a human?
I would like to think old stig is currently racing sharks and submarines around the sea bed in his jag
LOL
Not the Stig (33):
Sucks to be you. My ‘I Am Ben Collins’ T shirt is suddenly worth a fortune!
Please don’t fire Ben. He’s a great asset to your pack. The chemistry is there and don’t mess that up. It would be a shame to see and feel the difference. Instead you should give him the respect he deserves. Don’t forget he’s the Superman to all the little boys out there! Including me!
what does it matter if the stig does or doesnt its only a joke that makes the tv show so lovable and great! why are so many people and “docters” complaining give the guy a break and fond somthing more important to do than complaining!
Topgear – THE BEST SHOW IN THE WORLD (and which ever planet the stig is from!)
i hate those nerds that go and hate about top gear like them eco guys who brought up about them smoking indoors, i saw that episode again and there is ALOT of pixelation.. dont see why they hate it they envy it
I’m pretty sure the Stig is a wildabeast.
some say he sells his armpit hair on ebay and that his fingers are made out of McDonalds chips
some say they know the stig, but i beg to differ, the mystery can only be solved when, erm… its solved i suppose, keep guessing and maybe after the person’s died we can ask the BBC who it is
or we could go undercover and work for the BBC…
oh yeah, eco cars only save you money and not the planet
its like giving the earth a slow death!
Ben Collins has been revealed as the Stig by the Telegraph. A builder found his white suit on display, as well as other things…
Prove it!! said…
“only way to dispell this rumour is to get Ben Collins and The Stig side by side. You couldn’t do that with Clark Kent and Superman!!”
You can’t do that because their knees would repel each other.
Terminator had magnetic knees, and also a driving license…
Are you STILL talking about his knees? is noone interested in his elbows at all?
boffins are saying there’s no way his knees could be magnetic.
“There’s no way his knees could be magnetic,”
stormed Professor Philip Glenister, head of Oxford University’s Lower Limbs Department.
that’s genius.
this is gettting out of hand all these people out to find the stig. i think it should be left alone its part ofthe fun watching topgear to not know who the stig is.
I mean who cares? …. its a TV Show .. i mean if he was lieing about a car or something thats one thing .. but i mean how many “Some Say” jokes have been on top gear there not true either, so does this mean the world about to end?! … Mr. Clarkson is a great host of the best show on earth!
If you dont like turn over the telly!!
“Turn over the Telly”, you’d have to do a hand stand to watch it!
who gives a f”k
I heard that his elbow bends the wrong way. prove that to be impossible proff
But he is banned from the Chelsea Flower Show.
Why are yo sending: “EENDNUCRAINEUANTALKATUTN ENIINIIIIIEN..EEAT
AREENNIIIENII” in morse?

You know we can all take a joke here, its not like JC is a liar. Hes just being entertaining. That is what TopGear is about. I mean we all knew that the stig was someone in a suit but JC was just trying to make us laugh, not taking things seriously
Its not fair for everyone finding out the real stigs idenity. season 1-11 was a succes until season 12, everyone wants to know whats behind the scene and broadcasting it. It is suppose to be a secret. Many people go mad what JC says about the stig. Its not like you can find all the facts that you expected. The reason why The Mole posted this is that scientist take everything so seriously and tells everybody the real facts. Scientists, if you know its fake, then shut up about it. Its just entertainment, not factual. Now the TopGear fun is ruined because of you annonying scientists.
Hey everyone!! I recorded the Morse Code from last season’s Top Gear (Season 12) when The Stig was playing it while he was driving. I don’t know what it says. Can you decode and post what it means. Thank you.

I might have a mistake or two, but thanks for your help.
wen one of the lads say sumthing about the stig its meant 2 b funny
message to every1 who dnt like top gear:
LEAVE OUR TOP GEAR ALONE!!
if you dnt like it DNT WATCH IT
he he, stiggy with magnetic knees.
is he still allowed a stapler, after all the accidents?
some say that he once drove a car into a pool,
oh wait, that was jeremy, wasn’t it???
is it stll there?
@66…
Something about ‘magnetic knees’ it seems :/
(http://www.onlineconvers ion.com)
I just find it really annoying when people try and reveale the stig…. whats the point? if we knew who he was it wouldnt be as great… who want to see a normal person drive round the track…? its the air of mytery thats brilliant!
Some say he cant read this because he can only understand wingdings
The Stig comes from a different planet where everyone is brilliant at driving cars and everyone has magnetic knees.
Magnetic knees…
Fishing with his tongue…
eyes blinking vertically…
Doesn’t “this” seems to be a…FROG!!!LOoL
But VK: i wish that the planet the stig is came from is full of wonderfull cars (bugatti, maserati,…)so i can move to…Because i LoOoOoOoOve CaRs <3
Why does everyone have to ruin TG by trying to find out who the Stig is? It’s only for entertainment. It would be boring if we knew who the tame racing driver is. Some say that he was born in Birmingham and that his house has got 9 windows altogether; can you see what I mean?
But if you really want to know who he is, it’s obvious; The Stig.
DO any of you beleive what jezza said in the sun?? about the stig being a bbc royal reporter!! I know jezza said it , but i not sure wether to beleive it…. you never know with jeremy. I don’t think he whould give it away…but maybe he has just had enough!
Do you think the stig fancies people?!
What!!! reply to agent 008
what did Jezza say in the sun? Did he reveal the true identity of the Stig? Shame on him!
YUP! reply to kadette…
His exact words were : I’ve decided it’s time to come clean. For still photographs, there are indeed many Stigs. But there is only one who is ever allowed to drive round the track.
And – here goes – it’s the BBC royal reporter Nicholas Witchell.
I know. I know. It’s a big surprise but there you are.
And now you know, I’m afraid he will have to be dropped from a Hercules transport plane and killed. Worse, because the secret is out, the Telegraph will have to find another big secret to expose.
Thats what he wrote! to read it go on the sun web page. i dont think i beleive him. i think he just said it to shut people up.
Anyway….
Some say that he sleep formed as a W, and that his bed got four turbocharges. All we know is, he’s called The Stig.
no one has told me about his elbows. i am getting very anklevated
ya never know he could be a different person that u tryed it on
some say he doesent have magnetic anything all we know is hes called the stig!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!
