VIRB

Friends, Music and Video... we're helping you stay connected.

No shit, Sherlock?!

Well, state the bleedin' obvious then, why don't you ... ?

The title says it all.
This is the group to give examples of bad science, ridiculous statistics, crazy results of stupid surveys, unnecessary instructions and warnings...you know what I mean.

You've bought that bag of peanuts with the warning that the product 'might contain nuts'; you've seen the latest findings that state if you eat too much and take too little exercise, you might get fat; the warnings that playing on the railway line might result in death - all those situations where you find yourself responding sarcastically - "well, no shit, sherlock" - then this is the group for you.

Name and shame those over-paid researchers or scientists who come up with answers to the questions nobody thought they needed to ask.
Google the information, look out for newspaper or magazine articles, listen out for silly comments and share them here.
moo!

My friend Emily was sent to the emergency room when she suddenly couldn't breathe at school. But don't worry, nothing serious was wrong. The doctor said she probably had an allergic reaction to something.

Emily: "But this has never happened before."

Doctor: "Sometimes, things that have not happened before, happen...."

anything that says "this is not a toy" on it, namingly plastic shopping bags.
of course it's not a toy and the people who it's aimed at can't read yet.

You know it's bad when the other half of my extended family that are Republicans (sadly misguided...but I love them anyway)...start making REALLY rude jokes about their former hero-in-chief.

It's a sign of the times...

jo says:

I didn't mean to insult you. By misguided I meant...the Republicans that continue to choose to follow a leader whose decisions have not been in the best interest of his party or the country as a whole. At this point I view them as a pack of lemings following each other off the edge of a cliff...not realizing it's too late until right before they hit the ground.

Good. My intent is never to insult...or try to force my views on anyone else. That said...I AM very vocal about my beliefs.

Staying in a hotel - there was a tag on the cord of the hair dryer, one of those permanent sticker tags, that I swear read:

"Do not use in shower".

Mental flash to some absolute bogan/hick washing his hair in the shower, trying to dry it at the same time... "Duh why isn't this even working?"

that's funny...it says it twice, once in the description, and then again in the ingredients list.

and then they add the allergy information...if you can't read an ingredient label, i think one's wheat and oats allergies are going to be hard to manage...hehe

odile says:

yeah but it should be there both times because of allergies-people don't always read the ingredients to things...well unless they're allergic to everything...

(love Wayne's World - party on, dude) - thanks for the hero-worship but I just love doing them. I have a plan for another, but I'm not sure I'd want to join it so may be a non-starter! Intrigued? I may message you if you ask nicely...
