I have this calendar that purports to contain stupid things people have said, or written (it was an xmas gift). Most of them are clearly typos; granted, they’re sometimes funny ones, but not necessarily indicative of stupidity. By far the majority of the truly stupid things are quotes from W. Today’s, for instance: “Natural gas is hemispheric. I like to call it hemispheric in nature because it is a product that we can find in our neighborhoods.” Usually it’s possible to tell where exactly his brain disconnect happened, and thereby figure out what a person familiar with the language might have said, but this reveals a breathtakingly profound thinking disability.
