Have you talked to 1 in four people lately? I think you'll find a quarter of the population of the planet to be dolts. They tend to live in clusters and watch daytime talk-shows.

Look at the articles listed along the right side of the page and ask yourself, "Is this really surprising?"

Who the hell is Winston Churchill (new window)? Who the hell is Sherlock Holmes (new window)?

So does being the planner behind Gallipoli cancel out saving the Western World from the Nazi menace? Because if it does the what has he done for me lately?

ChewbaccaJones: I think you'll find a quarter of the population of the planet to be dolts.

At the very least.

Lionel Mandrake: Look at the articles listed along the right side of the page and ask yourself, "Is this really surprising?"

heh :)

Amazing. That's like 40%.

SockMonkeyHolocaust: So does being the planner behind Gallipoli cancel out saving the Western World from the Nazi menace? Because if it does the what has he done for me lately?

To be fair to him, who knew those filthy dark skinned fellows had weapons let alone knew how to use them.

This doesn't surprise me. There's a guy I know who doesn't think Fred Thompson led up an elite squad of New York detectives, despite a number of documentaries that clearly prove him wrong. Some people are just stupid.

Sherlock Holmes was the detective on the "Jack the Ripper" case, right?

To be further fair to him, the people commanding the mission on the scene were the greater part of the problem.

right.. Winston Churchill...

Dick Turpin and Lady Godiva did, in fact, exist. Just because, like Ronald (He Won the Cold War!) Reagan, they didn't do certain things associated with them doesn't negate the fact that they were real people.

Of course, I am shocked -- shocked, I tell ya -- that only one quarter of the people are that stupid.

Idiocracy....
That movie scared me...

JerseyTim: Amazing. That's like 40%.

In fact it is exactly 40%, just like Pi.

Think of the average person. Now remember, half the people are dumber than they are! ~~ George Carlin

bingo the psych-o: In fact it is exactly 40%, just like Pi.

Pi is exactly 3!

Kyle: You know that 1/4 of Americans are retarted right?
Stan: Yeah, at least 1/4.
Kyle: Here, let's do a test, there are four of us here, you're retarded fatass, that's 1/4.

/yeah, yeah, I know it's brits this time
//doesn't make it less true.

I like turtles.

Winston Wikiquotes (new window)

No reason, I just happened to have it bookmarked. I loved his way with words. Somewhat admired his brand of cutthroat liberalism. Actively dislike his imperialism and racism. Ah, well. Different time and all that.

If only George W. Bush and Hillary Clinton did not exist....

/and what the hell, could Ms. Batshait Spears and Paris Hilton be aborted too!
//I can has parallel universe?
*sigh*

...always with the beards...

/that is a parallel universe I could get on board with.

No shiat, Sherlock.

jonr: Idiocracy....
That movie scared me...

As well it should.

A short Science Fiction story I once read postulated a future in which our history had devolved into mythology.

Hitler, Churchill and FDR were believed fictional characters.

Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson went on a camping trip.
After a good meal and a bottle of wine they lay down for the night, and went to sleep.
Some hours later, Holmes awoke and nudged his faithful friend. "Watson, look up at the
sky and tell me what you see."
Watson replied, "I see millions and millions of stars."
"What does that tell you?"
Watson pondered for a minute.
"Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three. Theologically, I can see that God is all powerful and that we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you?"
Holmes was silent for a minute, then spoke.
"Watson, you pillock. Somebody has stolen our tent."

This is absolute BS. You would have to have the IQ of plankton to genuinely think that. Either the respondents are farking with the questioner for a laugh or the questions are skewed somehow.

I thought the Mona Lisa was a real person.

Hehe - like it, like it.

I always wondered why Bush's popularity never dips below 25 percent.

I have an attractive female friend who this morning mentioned that she was embarrassed to go out in public with her "hair like this".

Presumably it was that she hadn't washed her hair since yesterday.

My response:

Have you seen public recently? Don't worry.

That is to say, a random sampling will reveal our species to be in pretty sad shape.

Ah, but did this person really exist?

Many studies show that about half of any given human population is below average!

5: Mona Lisa

WTF? Lisa del Giocondo was a perfectly legitimate person. Fail, Daily Mail, fail.

It's the Daily Mail, the UK's answer to Weekly World News.

Nobody told me the 40 trifecta was in play.

The world would probably be better off if they were right.

My favorite story about the stupidity of people vis a vis fictional characters was told by Dan Blocker who played Hoss Cartwright on Bonanza. A old lady came up to him and told him that he and his brothers needed to get married and get some women on the ranch. He talked to her for a while and then realized she was not talking about his character on TV, but that she thought that Bonanza was his real life. Dan Blocker was a genuinely nice guy and gently explained to her that it was a TV show, that his name was Dan Blocker, he was just an actor on the show, and that he was married and lived in California with his wife and kids and so on.

Despite this explanation the lady never got it and walked away still believing Dan Blocker's name was Hoss and that he lived on ranch with his father and brothers. I'm not surprised that a substantial number of people believe Sherlock Homes is real.

The number of people publicly wandering around in well worn flannel pajama pants scares me. And we're not just talking about those who pair it with an XXL shirt featuring cartoon characters and some form of plastic flip-flops or fake Crocs. There's what appears to be fairly normal people just wandering around like they rolled out of bed.

Horoscopes, every major city newspaper.

Freaks be everywhere.

What I love about this thread (so far) is that no one is claiming that either of them were MILFy or MILFish in anyway. My recently concluded research also confirms that neither of them were attacked by a moose while pregnant and saved by a dog who was "in the zone". In addition, I am almost certain that there is no proof that Churchhill was a medical student, a mom, nor has performed mouth to mouth to a tiger cub, although Sherlock Holmes may have...but only twice at the most.

"Dude, you got a problem with that?"

Winston Churchill DOESN'T exist, he's a mind-cloud invented by the CIA to distract people from the fact that the 9/11 attacks where completely fabricated and caused by chem-trails in the sky.

I'm going to look for Prune Tracy.

People are SO dumb.
Sherlock Homels was a holodeck character on The Next Generation.

Winston Churchill is the actor that plays Peter Griffin on Family Guy.

Put down the books and watch TV once in a while, jeez.

You know, If I walked around like I'd just rolled out of bed I wouldn't have anything but panties on.

You all should be glad I had the decency to put on pants and a shirt.

Were we supposed to dress up for you?

Nobody told me.

This just in: old people are STUPID!

/Sherlock Holmes is a character, Homer
//He sure is

Well, at least Banksy knows better.


I've read more books BY Mr.Churchill
than have been written by Arthur Conan Doyle on Holmes.
Last of a line of Warrior Poets.
