I couldn't look away..
I was sick tonight and was semi trapped on the couch without the remote, and The Simple Life came on TV. For those of you not familiar, that is a reality TV show that puts Hilton Hotel heiress, Paris Hilton, and Lionel Richie's daughter Nicole, on a farm to see how they survive without money or credit cards..
I hope this show was staged, I can't believe that any human could be this useless and still be breathing without a respirator.
One of the classes I teach meets in one of the geology labs. Next to it is a work and storage room with two of the walls covered floor to ceiling with shelves filled with uncovered wooden boxes (each probably a little larger than a typical copy paper box) which hold specimens of various rocks and minerals. More such boxes are stacked on the floor.
So when it comes to somebody being dumber than a box of rocks, I can say as someone with more than the average person's knowledge of boxes of rocks that the comparison is frequently an insult to the box of rocks . . .
The Previews Were Bad Enough That I Haven't Watched The Show Maru
