I heart stupidity. When you see it, post it here. I'll start.

Some of you know that I've do some teaching of first year sociology students in university. I really enjoy it, and love my students, but -GAWD- grading their work is a nightmare.

Through the course of a year, they have to write short essays on a range of topics ---feminism, Karl Marx, education, Freud, crime, etc. I feel kinda guilty laughing at these because of course they are writing under extreme pressure, but holy bobo I find them funny! Every so often, they write something so frickin' hysterical that it makes me gag laughing. These fleeting gems, I collect. Thought y'all might get a kick out of some of them.

Here we go. (nb, all typos and grammar boo boos are theirs from here on, not mine)

"Education is not really as old as many people think. It all came about in
the 1960s when the Russians were more advanced with outerspace."

"There is no evidence of women in society until the late 1990s"

"Freud is the classic theory of gender he believes the boy has the penis the girl has the clitoris simple as that"

"Freud said that a boy who plays too many dolls might be a p_ssy in later life"

"Feminists think women are the lowest of the low"

"Education is bias it only works for children who come from families where the parents are rich white and male"

"Hitlar believed in the destroying the Jews, however, his dictation only lasted until he was alive, after it was forgotten."

"Weber saw society from his eyes"

"someone from the low class is no good to us. we don't see them as nonsuccessful. That is because of sociology"

"Max Weber is a known and accredited sociologist"

"All around us in our society it is, said to be all around us these 'bureacracy' for example God is higher than Jeesus. The boss."

(con't)

"In europ in early in this century if you were a peasant and a wealthy male peasant you simply walked into university and studied the fields in Latin"

"Public schools survive by property tax while private school has higher intuition"

"When the husband cames home from his work he wants to give the wife a little violence"

"Women lactate, so the male is automatically becomes the one who goes out and brings home 'the beacon'"

"Men play instrumental roles while women play instramenstrual roles for the society"

Sooo, that's a few highlights. This excludes:

The people who use IM shorthand in university papers ("ppls rpblik o China)

The people who make threats against me or my colleagues ("if this would be Mother Russia I would hire two ball-breaking skinheads to make a wonderland in his ass")

And those who know nothing but feel like writing an essay that day ("Vote for Pedro!"..."IDK about this but my cat had kittens"... "This theorist was raised by a family of bakers in the bread mountains of Appalachia" etc.

*wonders what goodies 2006/2007 will bring*

The great thing about stupid is that it's *scary voice* ALL AROUND YOU!

What's the stupidest thing you've ever seen/done/heard of/dreamed? Let's hear them!

(haha, for example, the fact that I almost missed that I initially spelled that, 'let's here them. Wow, irony in the house).

Go nuts, please.

LMAO! Very good. I admire your restraint. I'd be throwing things at them for the fun of it. Ok let me add:

My sister in law says that fish don't have sex. Neither do birds. I asked her, well where do baby fish and birds come from? They just, you know, come. Uh-huh. She and my brother are breeding. How scary is that?!

Since I'm constantly reading paleontology books, I have to hear how cavemen were around with the dinosaurs. LMAO! <That would be from my brother.>

Oh and if my sister in law sees any of my magic (illusion, card tricks, mentalism, etc...) books or magazines laying about, she starts ranting and raving about witchcraft and how I must be worshiping the devil.

It reminds me of the joke diagnosis we used to have when I was an EMT. TSTL-Too Stupid To Live.

What I heard on the news today....

a woman gets out of her car and makes a phone call to 101 (Belgium's equivalent of 911). She tells the dispatcher she's been sexually harassed from a distance for a while now and it needs to be stopped. The conversation was recorded and broadcasted later by a radiostation.

I could hear the woman say "she got intimately stimulated at night while asleep". When the dispatcher asks by whom she replies "I don't know but it has to stop, I can barely sleep anymore".


Sex from a distance or the dawning of a new age....

Back to that lady now...

It was reported that the police had thoroughly examined the crime scene. About 99,999 hairs were found.. all curly. Further examination in the crime lab will lead straight to the perpetrator...

One sentence that stuck in my mind:

The wolf is on the bed and he is doing Grandma.

On the local news a bit ago, a woman called 911. She had been in a wreck the day before and wondered if they could send the same officer to her house. because he was hot and she was lonely.

A friend of mine recently, on hearing the news that her sister was pregnant:

My sister's expecting a baby, and I don't know if I'm going to be an uncle or an aunt.
