The 35 dumbest things said on the internet

I don't know if they're really the dumbest. But they are definitely dumb.

And these people are allowed to drive and vote.

but not that fetus. to be fair, the fetus refrained from comment.

Exactly 0% of water is celery.

I suspect a lot of that stuff is people being dumb sounding for comedic effect. Maybe I mean I hope...

Hahahahahaha

And they didn't even touch on politics... except Ben Franklin.

They're all in English (and I'll hazard American English from some of the clues).

So there's probably dumber things out there. Every language that has access to the internet has internet dumb-arses (appalling grammar but I think you get me).
As do those who don't have internet, but we don't get to judge them.

Well that explains the recent weather.

I have an theory that people can act extra stupid at times.

xoxoxoBruce · 01-25-2013, 10:17 PM

I have a theory they ain't all acting.

Nirvana · 01-25-2013, 10:46 PM

I did like the 'ovary' act

Hang on ... some water is celery, isn't it? Celery is (I dunno, say...) 80% water. That water, the stuff that makes up the celery, kind of "is" celery.

The way water is in celery is not the way water is in a bottle - not topologically inside it, but metaphysically as one of its constituents.

Some water is celery, but not much. Thankfully.

the whole water/celery thing reminds me of that riddle about the cucumber being 90% water or whatever and no body could answer it but tw did. He got it right. I forget the riddle....he never did get his prize, though. Just as well, I wouldn't be able to stand all his typing away whilst I was doing the deed.

Trilby · 01-26-2013, 07:14 AM

the riddle was something like this:

On a sunny morning, a greengrocer places 200 kilograms of cucumbers in cases in front of his shop. At that moment, the cucumbers are 99% water. In the afternoon, it turns out that it is the hottest day of the year, and as a result, the cucumbers dry out a little bit. At the end of the day, the greengrocer has not sold a single cucumber, and the cucumbers are only 98% water. How many kilograms of cucumbers has the greengrocer left at the end of the day?

Water takes the SHAPE of the given container, not water BECOMES part of the given container.
