Karl Pilkington quotes

The Charles Fudgemuffin blog has previously paid tribute to geniuses such as Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking with a collection of their quotes. So continuing on that theme, here's a collection of quotes featuring the wisdom of  ... Karl Pilkington!

"I Spy with my little eye,
something beginning with N."

1) "Imagine being a stick insect, walking about. You'd be forever going, "Is that what's-his-name?"



2) "We've invented most of the stuff that we need and now we're just messing about."



3) Talking to a tribal chief in Vanuatu…

"He told me they speak the language of Ninde. He said everything begins with the letter ‘n’. A palm tree he pointed to was called a nimdimdip. We saw naho, which is a fruit, and he pointed out a leaf that was called nooholee. I said that playing 'I Spy' here would be tough as you’d be guessing all day. He agreed."

An Idiot Abroad quotes

"Wow!  Look at that old ice!"

From time to time on the Charles Fudgemuffin blog I feature book reviews, and one book which I thoroughly enjoyed was An Idiot Abroad 2 by Karl Pilkington.

The sense of humour will probably appeal to some people more than others, so rather than review the book, I thought I would sum it up with a selection of quotes which illustrate the logic and wisdom of Karl Pilkington…

Street entertainers...

1) "I’ve always found it odd how tourists take photographs of mime artists. Everyone looks like a mime in a photo."



Glaciers…

2) “He was telling me that some of these glaciers are millions of years old, but I can’t get excited about old ice. Ice is ice. You never see someone on Antiques Roadshow turning up with a block of ice for a reason.”


3) “I can’t imagine if the question on Family Fortunes was ‘What would you like to do before you die?’ that ‘Touch some old ice’ would be a top answer.”
