Idiot Awards (part 7)

It really annoys me when idiots can't tell the difference between to, two, and too.

Their so stupid!

Editor's note: "Charles, that should read 'they're', not 'their'."
Charles: "Yes, I know. It's a joke. I'm poking fun at myself."
Editor: "Oh, sorry!"

Anyway, it's time to shine the spotlight on idiots once again as this week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog features another batch of Idiot Awards.

A grumpy hair stylist complains about job discrimination.

1) Miserable Idiot

This first example is a story that highlights just how idiotic the forever-outraged elements of our society have become. To summarize the story, a hair salon wanted to place a job advert, but they were told they weren't allowed to advertise for a 'happy stylist' because it discriminated against unhappy people!

Not surprisingly, the hair salon owner placing the advert thought it was a joke at first, but incredibly the local job centre were actually being serious. Thankfully, they eventually backed down though, once the story started going viral on social media.

Lazy or genius? (part 2)

I was going to write a blog post this week on the subject of non-linear quantum optics and photonics, but I couldn't be bothered. So instead, I've taken inspiration from my own laziness and compiled a blog post on the theme of 'lazy of genius' memes!

1) Lazy clock

"Shall we move the clock out of the way of that pole?"
"No, I've got a better idea..."

You have to ask ... were the stick on numbers even neecessary? I mean, I'm pretty sure most people could guess what the hidden numbers were even without the numbers written on the pole.

Made-up statistics (part 2)

A week is made up of seven days. A circle has 360 degrees. The Earth has one natural satellite known as the Moon. Those are all undeniably factual statistics.

However, not all statistics are factual. Some of them are made up! This week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog features just some of those made-up statistics, starting with a statistic about statistics.

For copyright reasons, here's a picture of
Slowy the Hedgehog instead.

1) Apparently, 82% of all statistics are made up.

But the other 30% are true!





2) 80% of pet hedgehogs are named Sonic.

In all seriousness, I can see there being a grain of truth in this made-up statistic, especially back in the 90s.
