Stupid Thread
 

This thread is stupid! I couldn't think of anything smart so stupid will have to serve. If you can think of anything really stupid, it belongs here.

I've been feeling rather stupid lately.
I had a dumb-ass attack on the job the other day. Stained a three point arc in the wrong spot. Had to do some fancy rework.

Here are a few of many stupid quotes:

"Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity."
-Anonymous
"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."
-Albert Einstein

"Men are born ignorant, not stupid. They are made stupid by education."
-Bertrand Russell
"Only the wisest and stupidest of men never change."
-Confucius
"The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt."
-Bertrand Russell
" They hate us for our freedom." George Bush. Actually this was not so stupid because it is absolutely true if you substitute the government as the real terrorist.

"Can't fix stupid" Ron White

So, has anyone done anything really stupid lately, or not so lately? Come on, fess up. It should make for fun reading.

You messed up the color code in your post, stupid.

Duh! George is my fweind.

Speaking of stupid, some fucktard on a bicycle appeared out of nowhere on the highway during a white-out snowstorm tonight. I almost took him out.

I was smart enough to fix it before you posted though. Now who's a 'tard?

I am stupid or prefer to call it ignorant as hell on what you call a 'Stained a three point arc in the wrong spot' ?

According to this article, we may all be too stupid to know how stupid we are.

Dunning wondered whether it was possible to measure one’s self-assessed level of competence against something a little more objective — say, actual competence. Within weeks, he and his graduate student, Justin Kruger, had organized a program of research. Their paper, “Unskilled and Unaware of It: How Difficulties of Recognizing One’s Own Incompetence Lead to Inflated Self-assessments,” was published in 1999. Link and a tip of the hat to Midnight Rambler.

Sorry dogman. I have posted before about my work. I install, sand and finish gym floors. A stained 3 point arc is a fancy way to spice up a basketball floor. It accentuates the court.

Good read. Ever notice how stupid managers often are? In the corporate world, people are often promoted to their level of incompetence and that is where they finally end up. All downhill from there. I had some really stupid proffessers in college. Totall diz-brains. I once had a pretty sharp trig teacher who said "College is where the smart go to get smarter and the dumb go to get dumber."

I would post in this thread, but I do so many stupid things no one else would get a chance to post.

Duh. You just posted.

Ever watch someone look at their watch and ask them 2 seconds later what time it is? Nine out of ten times they will look right back at their watch! Stupid simians.

That's because most people don't think of the time, they think of how much time is left...

CNN: Stocks finish rocky year like it never happened
S&P finished 2011 with a change of just 0.003%.

Because of, we as a species we tend to repeat our mistakes over and over and not learn a dam thing.

Wait.....what?

I am stupid for not doing the math myself on some capping, I figured he can add, ( not ) he had the picture 2x8x2 with a 1/2 kick, dumbshit it came out 2x7x2 (oh he slit it wrong) 11 stretch out should have been 12, so first thing this am I am out in the shop slitting metal . If I just would have checked last night.

Refer to the other thread about losing weight! y_rofl.gif

I dig Woodman, I went to sand the bar top I was working on refinishing/rescuing, on about my 5th coat and the poly started rolling instead of just sanding like normal, I almost shit myself, thinking the worst but I let it dry one more day and with a little finesse it turned out good. Ya know though, no matter what trade your in. it's how well you can recover and fix your mistakes that makes you a master of that trade.
