Intelligent People (Who Say Stupid Things)

I've never known Wikipedia to be wrong. For instance, for one glorious hour, they had an article about how awesome I am. Don't know why they decided that article wasn't good enough to stay up.

Lol.
Last week my Mom claimed Dieter Bohlen wrote the song 'We are the Champions' for the German casting show Deutschland Sucht den Superstar. I was like "no he didn't", but she kept insisting, lol.

Also some time last way, someone (I'm not naming anyone as I look down the hallway to that room with the (sw) face on the door 😛)was calculating....something along the lines of 3+3=9 😛
 
I'd say Obama screwed up when he began talking about Bowling..I mean WTF???

Yeah, he made a stupid comment, admitted that he was wrong and apologised straight away. Unlike any previous President in my memory.

What a bastard!
 
Here's a few funnies from school that I was reminded of while re-reading our yearbook:

It's Shane's birthday and we're in Spanish class. Our teacher asks him "Cuantos años tienes?" (which means "How old are you?" and you KNOW that if you've been taking Spanish for 1½ years). Shane looks confused for a moment and then quickly answers "Gracias!"

Same guy. Earlier that day we'd had a paper for Geography postponed. Now we're in German class and we've also a paper due here and again we're asking to get it postponed. Our teacher agrees on the condition that we not tell anyone. What does Shane say now? "That's what [other teacher] said!" Doh!

Another time during class a teacher who's been away for a while walks in for some reason and a girl asks "Is he back?" to which a guy says sarcastically "Noooo!". "Oh, okay..." she says clearly disappointed.

"I'm a good thrower 'cause I played football [soccer]"

Teacher sincerely asks (or rather shouts across several rooms) students outside of classroom: "What's 4x5?" Granted she wasn't math teacher, but still...



Ah, good times... Makes me almost kind of miss school... 🙁
 
Girl I know:
"I just don't think that Vikings are attractive, they're all hairy" [maybe you had to be there]
Friend: "All babies are born white"
Me: "Uhhh...what about black babies?
Friend: "They're born white too, then after a few days, they change colour"

I mean, I get that a baby's skin can darken after birth, but born completely white to two african parents, then totally change colour? Oh dear.

This totally reminds me of something back from 11th grade.
It was one of our first lessons of Russian and it went like this:
Our teacher: Kak tebja sowut? (it means "what's your name?")
Girl: (not saying anything, just looking puzzled)
Native Russian Guy: She wants to know what your name is.
Girl: Well I don't know!

In German this actually sounds much beter, lol, but it was veeery funny.

Ha, brilliant!
^ I think I remember that one XD

Something else a stupid dane said. I don't remember if it was a man or a woman, but he/she stood up to talk in english in front of a lot of people, and said:


"I am in the beginning of my period."
 
Terry Venabels commentating on the quality of the English team before an English football match.

"There's 11 international players out there"
 
My sister: "Oh, you had your twins! How are they?"
A freind: "They're doing fine. We called the boy Finn and the girl Millie."
My sister: "Oh, that's so nice! Are they identical?"
 
Well we only have your words to go from and I have to confess that when someone tells me they have twins, even what sexes, the first question I ask is 'are they identical'.

Well, there is a difference between fraternal twins and them being identical. I know I wouldn't class a boy and a girl as being identical.

But seriously. This is important how? Why am I talking about this? I think I need to go sleep or something.

My point exactly, SURELY we can find something more interesting to argue about. We can't be all out already.
I had a friend pull a jessica Simpson the other day. Chicken of the Sea: Chicken or fish?

I didn't bother to answer her. I just shook my head and went on eating.
I couldn't even believe it.
 
Wesley_Wyndam_P agrees: always gotta fight with someone don't ya
Lindsey McDonald agrees: My point exactly, SURELY we can find something more interesting to argue about. We can't be all out already.

Hmmm its not arguing if you're clearing up something.
The sister might be stupid, but the only comment we had was that she asked a question that actually isn't stupid.

BUT we have it on good authority, from her brother, that comment came from a place of stupidity.
 
Umm, why is that 'stupid'?
Identical twins doesn't actually mean they have to be both of the same sex.
I know it seems like it should, but its not the case.

Actually it does. Identical twins occur when a single egg, fertilized by a single sperm, splits into two identical halves. Two separate babies with identical DNA are formed. Identical twins are always the same sex and blood type. They share a placenta.

Fraternal twins occur when two separate eggs are fertilized by two separate sperm. Two separate babies with no more in common than siblings born at different times are formed. They can be the same sex, but more often then not they are different sexes.


Sorry for the lesson, but I'm in a Child Development class right now and it's a common misconception.
