Today whilst buying lunch, I went up to the school canteen and read what I could order. About 3rd on the list was Italian Pasta which nearly made me laugh.

What about you, have you ever read some stupid things?

[Chicken]

The weirdest thing i have ever read, was that BathRoom guide thing that has like a ton of weird facts, laws, and stupid events...

[brainless]

hey, Italian Pasta sounds ok to me ... but guess what we had in school a couple of days ago: Vegetarian Meatballs [being no absolute vegetarian but interested in making trouble, I asked whether those meatballs are made from meat or made from vegetarian-compatible stuff. That girl who gave out the food couldn't tell me so I took them to be able to tell my vegetarian friends whether they could eat in school or not...]

and, another funny thing I discovered in Google's image search quite a while ago: A picture of a road sign which read "Water on Road". Underneath this, there was an additional sign, reading "When Raining"...

[brainless]

*wants an edit button*

The sign looked nearly like this one, just spread on two separate signs: http://www.i-mockery...ter-on-road.jpg

When I was at a hospital once, there was a computer with step by step instructions on a sign above it, explaining how to tun it off. lol
I thought that was pretty silly. And what happens when someone wants to turn it on?

Another thing I read was on the back of a packet of blu-tack it said

Will stick to horizontal surfaces.

That's good because I just hate when posters slide off my horizontal wall...

[electriic ink]

Another stupid thing i read was the text:

[ This page has been intentionally left blank ]

on a piece of paper which it hadn't obviously Can't people when a page is blank it's meant to be?

We used to have an edit button? What happened?

[Puck_4004]

The weirdest thing I've ever read was an article which said my country was at war with Iraq (we were dragged into it by a bigger country apparantly)

Sighs

-doesn't want to cause controversy or a debate-

LMAO, LMAO. That one is hilarious, Larger test group. HAHa.

Anyways. Some that I've read.

From the italian pasta, on a box of italian meatballs. Product of Canada. WTF.

Something my teacher said earlier today, "Kieth, remember to make a reminder for yourself ..........."

"The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell was pretty stupid in my opinion. It was a short story we had to read in our school literature books. The plot was good, but his wording is really bad, lol.

Was she hot? If so, I wish I was those Pandas...

Um..

A old HTML tutorial i read a while back said something like this-

HTML can NOT be used to handle form processes, to handle forms, you must use server-side scripting like CGI or PHP.

Here's how to handle forms in HTML....

- that's just slow.

well, i live in Uruguay (a country in South America), and here's there's a prison called "Libertad", that means "freedom". quite strange, isn't it?

also, yesterday i went to a shoe shop that fix leather boots, and there was a cartel that said "dear costumers: from today, no fixes will be made if it isn't paid in advance at least partially", but it didn't have any date.

[andres]

oh, i remembered something else but i can't edit my previous post. anyway, it doesn't count posts in this forum.

a few years ago, i saw in an Argentinian TV channel called "Cronica TV" that it said in the headlines of the news: "due to a earthquake, two people and one Bolivian died". it's quite awful.

the dumbest things i have ever read are on warning labels such as on a curling iron "do not insert this in any orafice"
LOL when did this become a problem?

I dunno. I have a fairly good idea that there does exist certain individuals that may imagine deriving sexual pleasure from unorthodox equipment. That is probably why they put that on curling irons or "Not for use on nape, temples and genitals," on "electronic workout devices, the one with electrodes.

I do wonder, however, how glaringly obvious this can be: "Warning, contains peanuts," on a jar of peanut butter.

The most stupid thing I have ever read is a book by Paulo Coelho, "The Alchemist" or something like that. I did not know who the guy was, so I took it and started reading it. Shame on me. I am sure that a Telephonic Guide is more interesting and better written.

[Vixen_Poetic]

About 95% of the works of Piers Anthony. The first 60 pages of Terry Goodkind's sequel to his 'bestseller', ( gosh it was idiotic, containing a mathematicly unsustainable succession process.) Sorry, stupid zingers tend not to leave an impression.

When I was in high school, on AIDS day people wanted to spread awareness about the disease BUT instead of having someone speak about it, they decided to give us stupid flyers with BULLET POINTS. OMG, i felt like I was reading a menu or an advertisement. And to top it off because of the space constraint, most of the points sounded like gibberish and It basically was mashing up the actual facts.

[networker]

One of the stupidest books I ever read was the Satanic bible.It was written
by some *BLEEP* called Anton Levey or something. I mean,who the hell
would ever believe in that garbage.
I guess this Levey guy was just looking to add more followers to
his power trip.
