Human stupidity defined

[Kadagar_AV]

Ok...

I have always considered myself to be smarter than the average.

Might be because I am self aware and quite honestly brilliant, might be because I am delusional.

That point aside, it scares me when I see human stupidity defined. But oh well, just like any good ol' horrow film I at the same time can't get enough of it ;)

An example: When I on these boards wrote "Ockham's Razor" the automatic spell checker asked me if I didn't really mean Beckham's Razor. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the worlds biggest search engine assume I must be mistaken when I write the name of a great thinker and not a good sportsman (all respect to Beckham though, not for the wussieball, but for nailing Posh Spice).

So, what set me off on this latest rant?

I tried to write a list on facebook.

B) came off as smiley with sunglasses.
8) came off as smiley with glasses.

Because YES on the worlds biggest communication site we need smileys with assorted kinds of eye-wear more than the ability to write any type of list.

Share your sightings of world stupidity people...

My second greatest sighting of stupidity was when I took more than a passing glance at british politics.

My first was when I took more than a passing glance at every other nation's politics.

You do have to admire the guy who can walk past the 4 attractive Spice girls and dip his wick in the uggo one.

You get the results most people search for, why use a spelling checker anyway. I never do and I know I make mistakes, often hilariously stupid ones, but why should I be able to be able to speak perfect English anyway.

Obama's limo broke down on the trip to Israel after it was fueled up with diesel instead of gasoline.

bullet proof, bomb proof......not idiot proof.

EVERYONE defines themselves as "above average". Not just on intelligence, but on almost everything else too, from driving skills to looks.

Face the truth Kadagar - you're just average, like we all are.

Not me, I'm above average, my mum said so.

I call bull, you socialistic socialist.

Everyone is different, and some excel in areas others don't, through training and natural ability.

Also, not everyone define themselves as above average, I for one would rate myself a sub standard driver.

Done that. I could list several mitigating circumstances to justify my stupidity but that's not the point. Sadly then I thought I was intelligent, now I know better.

I would say there were 2 ugly spice girls...but the main point still stands.
