Stupidity : A chronicle

Eleanor Rigby :

Eleanor apologises for the long hiatus, but Eleanor has been rather swamped with his/her thrilling double life as a secret agent for the Peoples Republic of China. And Eleanor has been rather ill lately, that didn't help.

Eleanor feels rather worried for our beloved blogger. Eleanor has never heard her say f**k before , unless of course she ran out of shampoo. All you mates out there, send her a card or a sundae, and she'll love you twice as much !

A famous Irish playwright and poet once remarked that "there is no sin except stupidity".
Mr Garrison of South Park once said that "there is no such a thing as a stupid question, only stupid people".

He would know what's stupid and what isn't

And so today, Eleanor will discuss stupidity.

Stupidity exists in many forms.

From watching American sports, to believing that there is no script for wrestling, stupidity exists at all times. It is an incurable sin.The Height of Stupidity

Famous examples of stupidity have occurred during our history.

In 323 b.c., Alexander the Great did not designate an heir to his enormous empire, thus condemning it to utter ruin

In 1942, Adolf Hitler advanced upon Stalingrad and decimated his all dominating German army.

In 1992, Kurt Cobain married Courtney Love.

In 2004, 200 million Americans reelected George Bush to lead them

In 2006, Westlife beat Oasis, U2 , and The Beatles in an album chart battle.

If these aren't damning examples of stupidity at it's best, Eleanor is speechless.

"There is no sin except stupidity"

What is the difference between stupidity and genius then ?
Well, genius has a limit.

Eleanor has had the privilege of meeting many stupid people in his/her life, and it shows. Stupidity is so unique in the sense that we are all prone to moments of stupidity. All of us have probably done something so ridiculously stupid, we could probably only laugh or cry.

Eleanor recommends laughing, crying never helps.


Whether it be the purchase of Pokemon playing cards, a crocked relationship, or even buying a Kylie Minogue album in a drunken rage, it is only human to be stupid, so don't beat yourself up too much about it.
As the above examples illustrate, stupidity is committed by the best of us after all.

In conclusion, it's alright to be stupid. Just as long as we learn from our stupidity, and do it on purpose next time, everything will be just fine.

At least you can tell people you meant it.

There's always someone more stupid out there
