The People's Hero Posted 2 March 2008 Posted 2 March 2008 I'm stupid but still more intelligent than 98% of foxestalk users.
Daggers Posted 2 March 2008 Author Posted 2 March 2008 I'm stupid but still more intelligent than 98% of foxestalk users. I've been having a read of the other forum and some of the posters frighten me - well, the fact that they are allowed to reproduce and vote frightens me.
The People's Hero Posted 2 March 2008 Posted 2 March 2008 I've been having a read of the other forum and some of the posters frighten me - well, the fact that they are allowed to reproduce and vote frightens me. How did they figure out how to breathe? And use a computer? That certain particular character makes me wonder how it's possible to mis-use every literary construct known to man in ONE sentence whilst repeatedly missing the point. He must be subverting something? Is it irony? Does he deliberately not get it? I don't get it? Maybe I'm as bad as him (minus the kiddie stuff).

Uncle Monty Posted 2 March 2008 Posted 2 March 2008 Hmmm or maybe this is a place for people to pretend they are intelligent.....
Zingari Posted 2 March 2008 Posted 2 March 2008 Hmmm or maybe this is a place for people to pretend they are intelligent..... Yes indeed , I was saying the very same thing to stephen hawking only the other day at the mensa group meeting
Uncle Monty Posted 2 March 2008 Posted 2 March 2008 Yes indeed , I was saying the very same thing to stephen hawking only the other day at the mensa group meeting Think i was there, were you the one with the eye patch?

Zingari Posted 2 March 2008 Posted 2 March 2008 This is a ( supposedly )a true story from the Word Perfect Help line which was transcribed from a recording monitoring the customer care department. Needless to say the help desk employee was fired; however, he/she is currently suing the Word Perfect organization for "Termination without Cause." "Ridge Hall computer assistance; may I help you?" "Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect." "What sort of trouble?" "Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away." "Went away?" "They disappeared." "Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?" "Nothing." "Nothing?" "It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type." "Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out?" "How do I tell?" "Can you see the C: prompt on the screen?" "What's a sea-prompt?" "Never mind, can you move your cursor around the screen?" "There isn't any cursor: I told you, it won't accept anything I type." "Does your monitor have a power indicator?" "What's a monitor? "It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on?" "I don't know." "Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that?" "Yes, I think so." "Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall." "Yes, it is." "When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one?" "No." "Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable." "Okay, here it is." "Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer." "I can't reach." "Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is?" "No." "Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over?" "Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle - it's because it's dark." "Dark?" "Yes - the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window." "Well, turn on the office light then." "I can't." "No? Why not?" "Because there's a power failure." "A power... A power failure? Aha, okay, we've got it licked now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in?" "Well, yes, I keep them in the closet." "Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from." "Really? Is it that bad?" "Yes, I'm afraid it is." "Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?" "Tell them you're too f**g stupid to own a computer." :giggle:
coale39 Posted 2 March 2008 Posted 2 March 2008 Hasnt that joke been posted like twice in the joke thread?
Daggers Posted 2 March 2008 Author Posted 2 March 2008 ...and I don't get why anyone still smokes Especially anyone on benefits...
AoWW Posted 2 March 2008 Posted 2 March 2008 ...and I don't get why anyone still smokes Because on the few occasions when I do, it's generally to stop me from killing someone!
lavrentis Posted 2 March 2008 Posted 2 March 2008 Because on the few occasions when I do, it's generally to stop me from killing someone! Well your killing yourself ?
l444ry Posted 2 March 2008 Posted 2 March 2008 A study, headed by Professor J Caringbunny of the Californian Scientific Institute, which was set up to determine why women liked shoes and could not operate simple machinery, such as video recorders or cars, was released today and has concluded that women are basically stupid. "After six years of in-depth analysis and research, conducted by some of the finest minds in the country," said Professor Caringbunny, "We have decided that they just aren't very bright." The think tank that carried out the controversial investigation worked primarily on hormonal fluctuations within the female brain and how they affected the thought process. "We showed a control group a video recorder and asked them to set the timer to record 'Eastenders' at 8pm, Thursday on BBC1. Our findings showed that only 8% were capable of setting the timer, while half of those got the wrong day or time and the other half recorded Corrie on ITV." Another experiment asked women to put a price on how much they would pay for a pair of shoes. "The results clearly showed that women had no comprehension of simple concepts like 'value' or 'worth', in fact we tried the same experiment, using oranges, with some Bolivian Spider Monkeys and their score was 85% higher than that of women." The damning report is a blow for women everywhere who had been harbouring dreams of being seen as equal to men. "Yes, it's unfortunate," said Professor Caringbunny, "But you can't argue with science. Women are thick and that's that."

AoWW Posted 3 March 2008 Posted 3 March 2008 I thought i was the thing that stopped you from killing people! You're too lovely to be described as a 'thing'.
AoWW Posted 3 March 2008 Posted 3 March 2008 This is a stupid thread. Surely that's the point? Does what it says on the tin, 'n' all that malarkey...?
