The Inferior Intelligence Thread

[stonedfox]

I've read several different threads today about "vital social (and political) issues n'stuff" and dammit, it just made me feel stupid.

I have lots of opinions about things, but I guess I'd rather just talk about unimportant garbage.

Therefore, I would like to commence The Inferior Intelligence Thread.

Today's Topic

Please list three different things that just totally confound you, and why.

1. Domestic Animals--most of them could easily kill us. Are we really that awesome?

2. People that have whatever makes you have tiny T-rex arms--how do they wipe themselves, masturbate, or do normal things?

3. The amounts of money paid to star athletes--who really needs a personalized Navigator?

Please list three different things that just totally confound you, and why.

1. The infield fly rule in baseball.

2. Someone having a craving for liver.

3. Why any woman, who's not masochistic, would ever have a second baby.

Please list three different things that just totally confound you, and why.

1. Women - Do I really have to explain?
2. The whole shaved-body thing for men - I can understand a close trim, but... aren't we supposed to be different from females?
3. Shaving my back - Okay, you don't like back hair. Fine. I'll shave it. HOW DO I REACH BEHIND TO DO IT?

Please list three different things that just totally confound you, and why.

1. Eddie Bauer vehicles. Why not a Tommy Hilfiger plunger? Already in the planning stages no doubt.

2. Among and amongst. Damnit. I am locking them in a box with further and farther and toward and towards and leaving them all to the wolverines.

3. Visual measurement. I could be anywhere from five to twenty feet from my door. Buggered if I know. Buggered if I can comprehend people who do know. Fortunately hardly anyone asks a horse.

(4.) (That whole gender thing. Still working on it.)

Please list three different things that just totally confound you, and why.

Military intelligence?
Why not just kill em all?

The rights of the accused?
Why don't the victim ever get any?

Breast implants on a credit card?
Can they be that small for an interest rate that big?

'Couscous' - what's the point?

False modesty - fess up, we need hero's.

Women and their shoes - don't even go there.

• Women and their shoes. (Nice choice, Neon. ) I think it's even more confounding to me considering that I'm a woman. I should understand it, right?
  
• Idiots that drive into flooded washes. It's been raining for 2 days straight and there are plenty of them around. We should not have to have helicopters looking for those stranded because they're arrogant enough to think their SUV can get through the wash.
  
• Pina Coladas.

I agree with Pina Coladas, when somebody pukes and passes out in that its bad.

I'm consoled by the fact that if ever things get really bad, we could open a shoe shop. Some pairs would classify as 'Vintage' only worn once. We once struck a deal, no new pairs until she threw out some old ones, a few days later she proudly showed me the cleared cupboard. A few years later I found them wrapped in tissue in the garage. Ya got to love her.

Pkay....3 things that confound me.....

1) Why are lawn gnomes considered tacky? C'mon...everyone loves a good gnome.

2) Why didn't my life turn into "The Goonies" or "Indiana Jones" or "Romancing the stone"? I feel so disappointed in the false sense of hope the movies of my childhood gave me.

3) Why is it that all the characters in books have really cool jobs? Where are the sepic system pumpers and the termite inspectors?

Like anal sex you must not be doing it right. I love a good couscous every so often. P.

In "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy".. well, phone sanitation is close enough

Couscous remind me of a social encounter I'd rather forget, it was probably the people and not the food, they are some how linked and I regret them(the couscous) every time.

1. Precious Moments figurines. They're ugly, tacky, and so sappy I expect them to bleed pure maple syrup. Who the heck WANTS those ugly things?

2. Televised sports get to run over time no matter what. Why? Watching televised sports is boring. Playing in sports is what's exciting.

3. The need some people have to believe in hell. I don't get it. God/dess(es) can be merciful, just, and morally right without it. With it, by definition, they are not merciful or just or behaving morally correctly.

You give good post, WOK.

1) Why women squirt out kids that they can't afford, then act like it's some sort of sacred endeavor that we should all pay for. My tax dollars aren't meant to raise your little bastards. My tax dollars are for important things, like Tomahawk Cruise Missiles. Stop having kids. Or learn about birth control.

2) Things like Hailstone Sequences. Starting with any positive integer n, form a sequence in the following way:

If n is even, divide it by 2 to give n' = n/2.
If n is odd, multiply it by 3 and add 1 to give n' = 3n + 1.
Then take n' as the new starting number and repeat the process. For example:

n = 5 gives the sequence 5, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1, 4, 2, 1,...
n = 11 gives the sequence 11, 34, 17, 52, 26, 13, 40, 20, 10, 5, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1, 4, 2, 1,...

These are called "Hailstone sequences" because they go up and down just like a hailstone in a cloud before crashing to Earth - the endless cycle 4, 2, 1, 4, 2, 1. It seems from experiment that such a sequence will always eventually end in this repeating cycle 4, 2, 1, 4, 2, 1,... and so on, but some values for N generate many values before the repeating cycle begins.

Can it be proved that every starting value will generate a sequence that eventually settles to 4, 2, 1, 4, 2, 1,...? Could there be a sequence that never settles down to a repeating cycle at all?

3) Women and shoes -- I just don't get it. Most men have two or three pairs of shoes. When they wear out, they buy another pair. Usually exact same brand, same size. One woman I'm dating has over 300 pairs of shoes. Some in the original box; she's never worn them. Still waiting for the perfect outfit, I suppose.

1. continuing, continual daily discussions between my fellow workers on the lives of.............soap characters........THEY AREN'T REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2. the fact that the one piece of paper you need, you cannot find, despite turning the house upside down....and even more so, that fact that the moment you obtain a copy from its source....you put your hand on the original............within seconds!! WTF?

3. women's make-up......quote:"I can't leave the house without my face on..." Huh? Your face is removable?????

 

[elbiscayne]

1. People killing each other over, "My god's better than your god."

2. Everytime I become totally focused on what I'm doing, I get interupted by some off-the-wall bullshit.

3. Looking for intelligence before checking out her breast size.

1. Currency.

2. Snobbery, mean people.

3. Underware
its redundant.

I agree with Pina Coladas, when somebody pukes and passes out in that its bad.

Got wasted on pina coladas one night. Next morning, I go to get a haircut. Stylist puts that cape around my neck. Not good. I lifted the cape and puked in it. Carried it to the bathroom, dumped it in the toilet, returned & asked for a clean cape. Proceeded with haircut. Tipped stylist very well.

That was 20 years ago. Haven't had a pina colada since.

Oops -- the confounders:

1. Perennials
2. Worship of any "diety"
3. Homophobia
   [/list=1]

1. Why people pay Nike to advertise their products by buying their shit

2. Why nobody in India has heard of Chicken Jalfrezi.

3. How pigeons know when a car has just been washed.
