More Science of Stupid

posted in education |

I’ve been watching some educational material on TV; the program is “The Science Of Stupid”. In retrospect, thankfully my experimental period of life (roughly corresponding to high school daze) had a limited budget.

If I had been able to exploit the Yo-Yo, or the water balloon, or a convenient tow line behind a speed boat, there could have been major pain. And happily, the Segway didn’t segue… We should license this series for the school system.

Of course, the Darwin principle is out there. Stupid is as stupid sees.

I managed to get some more flour this afternoon, and after careful measurement, my loaf succeeded. Which begs the question: were the failures due to old flour or the phase of the moon? I may not know any time soon.

The people are starting to awaken to the foibles of their elected representatives. Good! Pay attention to “the man behind the curtain”. The wizard isn’t as benevolent as he pclaims. Nor are his friends.

The Island almost had another snow day. I’m tuned to their news and weather, if only as a way to pass time. Besides, around here, things are monotonous.

Watching US news channels, it’s clear that they face a really paranoid existence. The recent “increase in aerial patrols” is obviously proof that a certain large nation wants to attack… right. Maybe you’re spending too much time overthinking things, neighbour.

I may have to patch my (old) boots, to get through the wet season. Or, use my new boots. Or both. Not sure where that train of thought is going.
