Do the Math

My friend Kathie (better known as GFKS for Girlfriend Kathie Shaw, which makes little sense but still makes me laugh after something near 15 years of that joke/nickname) sent me a listing of crazy items from newspaper clippings that demonstrate the intelligence (or at times lack of it) in our society. For some reason, this really struck me as simultaneously funny and sad. Funny for the obvious, but sad because for some people, I don't think that they realize just how goofy or ridiculous these blurbs are. And we wonder why we are positioned so low in world rankings on education and knowledge!

Here are a couple more that make me smile...
