Crazy stuff people believe

This is crazy that 17 million adults believe that chocolate milk comes from brown cows.

Even crazier are these people called breatharians. People claiming to live off very little food or no food.

And even crazier, many people

And even crazier, many people believe in gods or god, AND that gods or god answers prayers and watches over them and cares what that say and do and created the universe for them like 600 years ago and some of them have books they claim were written by gods that amazingly contain crazy shit like the idea that slavery is good and that wives are property.

;P winky face with tongue

;P winky face with tongue sticking out indicates sarcasm/humor.

Plus that picture is more of a cream colored cow, maybe that cow produces cream?

/humor
/sarcasm

(Just to make it perfectly clear.)

Also, I believe it was Wendy's fast food burger chain, that had to discontinue 1/3 pound burger from their menu due to poor sales. Why poor sales? Because too many people thought 1/3 is less then 1/4 because 3 is a smaller number then 4.

Stuff like this helps illuminate in part, why: so many people buy the various religions hook line and sinker.

If you jiggle the cows long

If you jiggle the cows long enough, you will get a milk shake.

Those people should spend a little time in a milking shed and see all the weird and wonderful things that come out of cows of all colors. I guarantee they'd never touch a chocolate milkshake again.

A friend of mine who worked

A friend of mine who worked with mostly computer stuff for years suddenly had to start dealing with the public. Her verdict: people are stupid.

I think anyone who has had to

I think anyone who has had to work in retail or the food industry instantly learn that people are stupid... And they are assholes.

What I've found is that individual people are the most intelligent animals on Earth, but crowds of people are dumber than pond scum. I guess that's why the Catholics call their worship "mass."
