Reading that Rihanna has gone back to Chris Brown got me thinking about stupid people. Stupid people are amusing sometimes. More amusing, possibly, is when people who are actually intelligent suddenly say something really stupid. You never see it coming, and it makes it so much funnier. Here are some things reasonably smart people have said in the past that made my jaw drop:

"I don't know what this is, but it seems like they're trying to sound like The Monkees." - A girl said this to me at a party.....while we were listening to the Beatles.

"I was watching the movie The Village the other day, and I noticed a mistake. It takes place in the past, but they forgot to edit a car out of one of the scenes." - This came from an old classmate of mine....who is now a teacher.

Shame your own friends. Post their uncharacteristically stupid comments here!

bahahah seriously did they watch most of the film with ear plugs in adn a blind fold?
One of our roommates kept talking about going to Austria on a skiing trip. Well, turns out they were actually in Germany (not too far from my hometown, actually) and he just figured 'nah, the town's name sounds German, we're going skiing....it's Austria!". Uhm...yeah.
 
My friend Tina, on the phone. " Ok, Frankie, I just bought a jar of bolognese. What else do i need to make Spaghetti Bolognese.? -------- um, Spaghetti. " Oh, yeah." Then she hung up. 🙂

Man that's crazy. I mean, everyone knows Austria is the country with kangaroos and those hats with the corks hanging from them, right?

Re:

My boss (The Director of Pharmacy) asked me what I thought she should order from a nearby chinese food place, as she was undecided. I asked her if she had ever tried egg-drop soup. She looks at me and says, " I think so...Does that have eggs in it?"

And in my head all I could think was...."This is my boss."

That is hilarious! *laughs* I'm going to re-watch that movie tonight with Dan. *hugglesRevolver*

At the moment I have no stupid moments of friends or people to share. 😉
 
Ok, i have this friend who is a straight A student which is so annoying because she hardly revises at all! Anyway, we were standing outside of Physics and the door was locked...she tried turning the handle alot...surprisingly to no avail. Anyway, she was pulling the handle and the her hand slipped and she got her arm stuck between the door and the door handle...we had to wait for the teacher to arrive so he could get it out...it was one of the funniest things i've ever seen!!
 
My friend said she wanted to get he Ipod fixed my other friend replied "to to the apple shop,there's lots of sexy gays there" the friend who wanted her Ipod fixed is straight.We both kind of turned and looked at her like wtf?! and she was like "did i just say that?" with a bright red face.
 
Ok I could blame this one on a friend but this was something I said!!! :iamwithst

When Mother Theresa passed away I asked if another would take her place!! I thought it was like the Pope, when one dies we get another (hey a bit like a slayer also).

But hey I am not claiming to be intelligent so i have an excuse !! :lmao:

funny! yup like slayers, true
I do stupid things like this a lot. We were in Spanish class the other day, and we had to play battle ships (Not just for no reason, we had to ask the questions as a Spanish sentence, to help improve our pronounciations) and everyone began drawing their battleships on this sheet. Then I put my hand up and said 'What's a battleship?' I think everyone thought I'd gone mental. There are a lot of other examples, but I can't think of any.

Oh! I have one about my sister, she'll kill me for this, but I don't care. She's 24 now, but back when she was at uni studying to be a teacher, she had to do a whole course on religion. Muslims have to go to Mecca at least once in their life, something to do with Muhammad there (I really don't remember, even though we did this in school last term...) and my sister was at our house doing some work and then she suddenly looked at me as I was reading her through the notes she'd written and said 'Why do Muslims have to go to bingo at least once in their life? That's a weird meeting place' :lmao: And she actually completed uni and got a degree. 😉 I do worry about her...
 
heres something really stupid that i said.

Me and my friend were making a cake, and as i was talking to her about the ingredients we were using for about 5 minutes we were trying to figure out where flour came from. Like did it grow on trees or something 😀

Now that you say that, I suddenly realise I have no clue were flour comes from!!
I may be reasonably smart, sometimes. But, I am SO gullable. It's such a bad trait.

People say all sorts of crap to me, and I'm like "Aww, wow, no shit? Really?" Then I go off telling everyone all this new, amazing info I've found out. My family constantly take the piss out of me, bastards.

Some of the things I have believed, and told the world:
That Alfred Hitchcock and Adolf Hitler were brothers.
Mice can only have 3 babies, then they die.
Libraries don't employ men.
Too much vinegar gives you a hole in your heart.

Did you know that Tolstoy's original name for "War and Peace" was "War, What Is It Good For?"

good god y'all
I don't know if this really counts, but my sister sometimes has these lovely dumb moments. Once we were playing monopoly and she diced, like, 4 or something. So she started counting: Eh-one, eh-two, eh-one, two, three four...Erm? It took her about a minute to figure out why we were all laughing 🙂
And this other time, we were doing a quiz thingy for her birthday party and the question was how long the chinese wall was: 600 km, 6000 km, or 60,000 km. And she shouted, OH I KNOW! 6,000,000 km! Ah, good times 😀

Blugeoning unecessary. Head dead enough!
Today I was walking with Deli's boyfriend Chris and we got some coffee and I spotted my friend and I said, "Look, there's Allister! Let's go say hi!" and then he said, "What's his name?" and he had been paying attention to me before so I started laughing. Don't know if this qualifies as being a stupid thing, but it was humorous and a bit idiotic at the moment.
 
At work on sunday i was taking some food out to a customer and it was s oup and a cheese scone. I went up to her and thrust the soup at her and said toasty. She looked at me like i was crazy, then it clicked and i just kind of went "duh" and rolled me eyes.
 
this is one of the many stupid thing my friends have said in the past (it was just he was so hyper) what he said was

"the game last night was so awsome with the last kick of the game John Terry scored with a header.....I hounestly think we can go all the way to the final unless some one knocks us out"

now annother stupid thing someone i know has done (cough cough:Aly Fan:cough cough)

i ask her "what is the time"
while she is holding her iron brew in her hand she pulles up her sleve turns her wrist to look at her watch
meanwhile all the iron brew is tipping out all over her and she also does not have a watch on in the first place
he he he lol
