Giving their opinions like regular people. They don't see the obvious. They only see what they want to see. They don't even know they're stupid.

thats your opinion.

/me has a feeling that this has something to do with the General Uselessness of Missiles topic

If /me is right, then /me agrees with Cunjo.

Just remember people, breaking mirrors is bad luck. Worse than spilling salt.

Feh, being superstitious is bad luck.

The thing about "truth" is that it really is nothing more than an opinion--just one that is so widely held that it can be assumed to be "universal". Just as an example: Back in the 1400s, the "truth" was that the earth was flat, and that only because so many people shared the opinion. Now, that "truth" is that the earth is round.

At least, that's how I think about it.

I've managed to make it this far in life being stupid, Cunjo, so nyah! >:P

If you're stupid and no one knows it, are you really stupid?

Could be you're too stupid to notice people have indeed noticed you're stupid...

I'm wondering how stupid Jex has to be to have not gotten out of that garbage moth yet.

Or at least figured out where the thing's going. :P

To split hares:

Back in AD 1400, even less people even cared about whether the world was flat or round, so that comparison doesnt hold as much truth, since those few that did care were usually people of the church, or affiliated with it.

Stupid is as stupid does.

To split the hair more, that belief was held mostly by the people living in Europe. The chinese certainly knew it was round; in fact, the ancient greeks even knew the circumference of the planet, but of course, the Catholic Church had stamped out that bit of info.

Well, Mr. Gump, your theory pretty much shoots down the whole 'intelligent-life-on-earth' concept.

"Well, Mr. Gump, your theory pretty much shoots down the whole 'intelligent-life-on-earth' concept."

The sad part, naturally, is that you're pretty much right.

"the ancient greeks even knew the circumference of the planet, but of course, the Catholic Church had stamped out that bit of info."

The majority of mankind, obviously, is not descended from the Greeks.

I'll offer to nominate anyone who manages to kill themselves with their stupidity for a darwin award... provided that they don't have any heirs.
Mar 08, 2006 LeberMac link
If they have heirs, Jex can split them. Or maybe tosh. Since they like doing it.
Mar 08, 2006 Will Roberts link
But wouldn't that give you twice as many (albeit smaller) heirs?

SO far we've had splitting hares, hairs, and now heirs.
Mar 08, 2006 Will Roberts link
Whistler, furry rabbit offspring would be....

hairy hare heirs

I can't think of any more homophones. I have thankfully run out of puns, but not before reaching my pun quota of the day.

"It should be safe to play tonight, kids. LeberMac's already reached his pun quota!"

Tch. You've given up too soon. Think of short words beginning with a vowel.
