Dumb, Dumber and Dumbest – Help!
You know, I gotta wonder about the state of today’s society. I mean, what self-respecting society produces such dim-witted individuals such as the ones I read about today. I was cruising around the internet looking for a little lighter topic and ran across this on DumbThings.com:
“Iraqi terrorist, Khay Rahnajet, didn’t pay enough postage on a letter bomb. It came back with “return to sender” stamped on it. Forgetting it was the bomb, he opened it and was blown to bits.” I didn’t know whether to laugh, slap my hand on my forehead or give in to my dumbfounded thoughts and go back to bed. I did none of these things, I kept reading (apparently I have a morbid fascination for the incredibly stupid things people do.) How about this one:
“A man in Clifton, Colorado apparently got so caught up in his “Tomb Raider” computer game that he forgot he wasn’t supposed to use a real gun. Sheriff’s deputies confiscated Douglas Miller’s shotgun after he fired it at his computer screen.” There, I finally have it. I have proof that video games eat away at your brain cells until you’re left with nothing but empty space, drool slipping from the corner of your mouth, blank eyes and something along the likes of “duh, huh?” being repeated over and over.
I can’t take it, I have to share one more: “Fire investigators on Maui have determined the cause of a blaze that destroyed a $127,000 home last month – a short in the homeowner’s newly installed fire prevention alarm system. “This is even worse than last year,” said the distraught homeowner, “when someone broke in and stole my new security system.”
Quick, somebody grab the dictionary, an encyclopedia, the Book of Mormon and anything by Hugh Nibley. I really need to derail my current train of thought!
