Random thoughts (part 12)

From time to time on the Charles Fudgemffin blog, I randomly like to publish a few random thoughts on random subjects. Today is one of those times.

"Nobody tells me what to do! I'll climb where I want!"

1) Gone astray

You can never lose a homing pigeon. If a 'homing' pigeon doesn't come home, you've lost a normal pigeon.

2) Too good to waste

Have you noticed that there are never any leftover recipes for chocolate?

If I had a dollar...

Good ideas are like dollars. They make cents.

Looks like Windows has crashed again.

That was a financially related way of leading into this week's blog post, as this week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog features a round-up of 'If I had a dollar' jokes.*

* For the benefit of UK readers, that's like an 'If I had a penny' joke, but with a really bad exchange rate.

1) If Bill Gates had a dollar for every time Windows crashed...

Oh, wait. He does!

Editor's note: "Charles, I wouldn't recommend making jokes about Bill Gates. What if he takes the huff and shadow bans you from Bing?"
Charles: "I'm sure Bill has got a really good sense of humor, and would therefore never dream of taking such petty action." **shifty eyes**



2) If I had a dollar for every time I got a math problem wrong...

I'd have $3.56!

Random silliness (part 3)

It's that time again. Time to be silly!

There are many things in the world which can be silly. Putty, seasons, sausages, Billys, even misspelled regions of Italy!

This week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog celebrates all things silly with another selection of random silliness.

1) If you've ever wondered why babies aren't born with teeth, here's why...

Is it just me, or does last baby remind anyone of a baby version of Joey from Friends?

Editor's note: "It's just you, Charles."

Randomly generated motivational quotes

A rather entertaining website I recently discovered is the InspiroBot website which randomly creates 'motivational quotes' with accompanying images.

Once in a while you will find a genuinely motivational quote, or a deep quote that gets you thinking. However, most of the time the quotes are just utterly bizarre, some of them are outright lies, some are simply evil, and some are actually demotivational.

I've compiled a few examples below to illustrate the kind of 'inspirational' quotes that Inspirobot comes up with, and to start things off, here's one quote which I definitely agree with.

1) "Publicly endorse books."

Horse 1: "Why do you think that photographer is taking our photo?"
Horse 2: "Probably for a motivational quote about books, no doubt."

Some estimates say that over 2.2 billion books are sold every year, so I'm happy to report that this is a quote that many people agree with.

However, I'm not sure how the horses tie in with a quote about books!

Charles Fudgemuffin rating: Good advice




That was a positive quote to get the ball rolling, but not all of Inspirobot's quotes are quite as inspirational...
