Have you ever given thought to the premise that intelligent people who tell really bad, stupid, thoughtless jokes are a lot like talented athletes who waste their talent because they have a bad lifestyle or they get caught using doping or just have a terrible disciplinary record?

What a waste. So many bright people telling the dumbest jokes, it makes them look like morons but they don't know it. Ignorance is bliss eh.

Looking for a laugh? You found one:

So some kid they interviewed on the radio can read and count at 6 much better than his peers. Mozart wrote his first piano concerto at the age of 6. I don't think any other achievement is going to impress me knowing that.

Have you noticed that whenever people say "I couldn't have said it better myself", that actually means they wouldn't have said it as well? That phrase is just a euphemism to save face.

All classes at NTNU start 15 minutes past the full hour. As I strolled through the main building at 10, I ran into bloody Moses leading the exodus from Egypt.

Note to self: avoid walking during university breaks.

I won't claim this is a novelty, it was invented a long time, just that very few people actually use it. The problem with blogs is that noone wants to read them and if we look at it closely, it's not really surprising. A lot of blogs are low activity, with rare, sporadic updates. So checking a blog regularly doesn't seem very worthwhile. Solution? Group blogs. Those are great because you have multiple people writing in the same place, they read each other's writing and it makes a lot more sense to have stuff like polls.

Or even if every blog is separate, then syndicate a bunch of blogs on one site to combine them. That way people have a place to go *and* individuality isn't compromised.
