Why I worry about how intelligent some people are

"Tell me a man's name that starts with the letter K."
 (Kyle, Kevin, Karl, Keith, Kenny, Kurt, or Kareem would all be valid answers here.)

"..Kentucky Fried Chicken."

EXCUSE ME? A man named Kentucky Fried Chicken?! I've heard a lot of crazy names in my time, but never have I heard of someone being named after a fast food joint. Since this was the first ridiculous answer to start this video, I knew this one would be an absolute gem. I'll pull out a few of my favorites and break down the level of stupidity involved with each answer, with a 1 being slightly stupid, and a 10 being a big what the hell were you thinking?

Q: Name a place on your body that a doctor might look in with a little flashlight.
A: "Butt", and a second answer of "butt" as well.
Okay, I guess butt can be an acceptable answer.. if you're getting regular colonoscopies or cavity searches. What kind of doctor are these two women visiting that they get their ass searched more than say their eyes, ears, nose, and mouth? Maybe it's that doctor on Scrubs that makes you drop your pants for every diagnosis. Either way, this is a pretty idiotic answer. Idiot level: 3

Q: Name a term that means "wife"
A: Bitch
This guy has some serious balls. I mean, sure rappers interchange the word bitch for a lot of things in their songs, but in regular conversation, this is clearly not acceptable. I believe he's sleeping on the couch tonight. Idiot level: 7

Q: Name a part of a telephone
A: The bottom part
Oh man.. she nailed it! How could you forget about the bottom part of the telephone! I hear that's what Apple is currently working on with the iPhone 5, the new and improved "bottom part."
Idiot level: 9

Q: Name an animal with 3 letters in it's name
A: Frog
-________________- Because he took so long and thought about this one, I really have no comment. Idiot level: 11

Q: Name something normally worn only by children
A: Clothes
Wow, I wasn't aware that only children wore clothes. What have I been wearing then? Idiot level: 8

Q: Name something you squeeze
A: Peanut butter
Hey, I can't really knock her on this one. Some people have some freaky fetishes, so maybe she gets large jars of peanut butter, sticks her hands in, and just squeezes the life out of it. But then again, who really wants to squeeze peanut butter? Give me a PB&J instead. Idiot level: 4

Q: Name something you might buy that could turn out to be phony
A: A horse
Don't you just hate when this happens? You go to the barn, think you've bought a perfectly good horse, and BOOM! It turns out its a fake... nothing but a donkey or a mule. I mean really, what constitutes a "phony" horse? Idiot level: 9

Q: Name a yellow fruit
A: An orange
Bravo, you have just given the most obviously wrong answer. If she had said apple, she could have argued that maybe she saw a yellow apple before, or even pear.. maybe she saw a yellow pear once. But trying to argue that an orange is yellow.. that just is impossible. Idiot level: off the charts

Q: Name an animal whose eggs you would probably never eat for breakfast
A: Hamster
Well considering that hamsters are mammals and don't lay eggs, he's technically right: you would probably never eat hamster eggs for breakfast. However, since they don't lay eggs, this makes him a moron. Idiot level: 8

Q: Name something you wouldn't want police to find in the trunk of your car
A: Pickles
Dead body? no problem. Weapons? Nah, those are cool. Drugs? Go ahead and take em. But pickles? I WOULD NEVER BE CAUGHT DEAD WITH THOSE IN MY TRUNK! I hear pickles are the first thing police are looking for now during traffic stops. So what is this guy doing with these pickles that he really doesn't want the police to know about? Idiot level: 10

These were just a few of my personal favorite idiotic answers. All of them completely reassure me that I am, in fact, normal and slightly intelligent. Then again, I feel like a cat would feel more intelligent after watching these answers.


Look at Apple hijacking students to work on the iPhone 5


Are we reverting back to the stereotypical Nike sweatshop factories? Perhaps Apple is leading the charge on this one. News has leaked out that thousands of Chinese students have had their semesters suspended so they can work at a Foxconn plant producing the iPhone 5.

After the plant couldn't find enough workers to produce the new phone, the took to Huai'an in the Jiangsu Province of China. Students here were removed from their schooling, driven to the factory, and paid minimal wages to produce the product. Working 6 days a week at up to 12 hours per day, they are making a whopping $244 per month. That breaks down to making just about $0.85 an hour. A student posting under the anonymous name of MengniuIQ84 stated that authorities had ordered the students to work, but without the consent of the factory or parents.

This is absurd, and I thought waiters making $2.45 an hour was crazy. I would love to hear what Steve Jobs would have said about this news.
