Book excerpt: The old adage truth is stranger than fiction can also be construed as truth is funnier than fiction and we see no shortage of real people doing and saying dumb things and making us laugh in the process. The Editors of Reader’s Digest present a hilarious collection of dumb people doing dumb things. Every day in America we are bombarded by stupidity; sometimes we just shake our heads, but most of the time we get a good laugh out of the really dumb things people do and say. In our first collection of dumb stories we poke a little fun at the unbelievably dumb things that happen in our lives and have a good chuckle along the way. “You’re a dumb criminal if…You’re not picky about your office locations. Christopher Exley of Everett, Washington, was arrested for conducting a drug deal over the phone—in the bathroom of the Everett Police Department.” “During my brother-in-law’s first performance review, his boss said, “I’m not quite sure what it is you do here. But whatever it is, could you do it faster?” --Jeanie Waara, Philip, SD “In an attempt to balance work and motherhood, I delegated the grocery shopping to my young babysitter. But the job proved a tad daunting. One day while I was at work, she texted me from the supermarket. “Can’t find Brillo pads,” she wrote. “All they have are Tampax and Kotex.” --Kimberly Clark, Alpharetta, GA “I overheard an elderly gentleman tell his friend that he couldn’t meet him the next day because he had to go to the hospital for an autopsy. His friend was sympathetic: “I had one of those last year. Luckily it wasn’t serious.” --Tracy Moralee, Hitchin, Great Britain

Book excerpt: As a child, Luke’s mother often tells him the story of the Dumb House, an experiment on newborn babies raised in silence, designed to test the innateness of language. As Luke grows up, his interest in language and the delicate balance of life and death leads to amateur dissections of small animals – tiny hearts revealed still pumping, as life trickles away. But as an adult, following the death of his mother, Luke’s obsession deepens, resulting in a haunting and bizarre experiment on Luke’s own children. ‘A wonderfully disturbing book - chillingly focused and lyrically amoral with moments of remarkable stillness and beauty.’ A.L. Kennedy ‘Burnside's prose is exquisite, and he dissects his themes with delicacy to produce a novel resonant with poetic menace’ Sunday Times

Book excerpt: Functional stupidity can be catastrophic. It can cause organisational collapse, financial meltdown and technical disaster. And there are countless, more everyday examples of organisations accepting the dubious, the absurd and the downright idiotic, from unsustainable management fads to the cult of leadership or an over-reliance on brand and image. And yet a dose of stupidity can be useful and produce good, short-term results: it can nurture harmony, encourage people to get on with the job and drive success. This is the stupidity paradox. The Stupidity Paradox tackles head-on the pros and cons of functional stupidity. You'll discover what makes a workplace mindless, why being stupid might be a good thing in the short term but a disaster in the longer term, and how to make your workplace a little less stupid by challenging thoughtless conformity. It shows how harmony and action in the workplace can be balanced with a culture of questioning and challenge. The book is a wake-up call for smart organisations and smarter people. It encourages us to use our intelligence fully for the sake of personal satisfaction, organisational success and the flourishing of society as a whole.

Book excerpt: Free the Dumb is about how Americans have lost their freedom by giving up their God given rights for privileges. The government should serve the people; the people should not serve the government. Will Rogers said, Its not what you dont know that hurts you. Its what you know that aint so. Benjamin Franklin said, Anyone giving up rights for security deserves to lose both. Orville Wright said, If we were to accept truth as everything we were told to be true, there would be little hope for the human race. Here are just a few questions that you will find the answers to in this book: What was bulletproof George Washingtons vision for the United States? Why did it take two years after the Revolutionary War to sign the Treaty of Paris giving the American people the rights of a King? People of a State are entitled to all rights which formerly belong to the King by his prerogative. Lansing vs. Smith (1892) Wend.9, 20. How after hundreds of years of prayer in school did the government, supporting communism, make it unconstitutional? Why lawyers are not citizens of the United States and why every law made after the 1840s is an illegal law? How you volunteered to be a subject citizen by not stating that you didnt volunteer even though you didnt know that you have to state that you didnt volunteer, which resulted in losing all the rights of a King, trading rights for privileges and illegally transferring non transferable rights. How Americans support the ten planks of communism? How can you pledge allegiance to a Republic and live in a democracy when democracy is mentioned zero times in the United States Constitution, the Supreme Law of the Land? How indentured servitude was changed to slavery? How many people in the 20th century were killed because their countries did not have a 2nd Amendment? Why is gay marriage illegal? How the American people since March 9, 1933 became the enemy of the government? Why is Social Security under Treaty Law and should never run out of money? What is the difference between living in the United States vs. living in the united States of America? Comrade Lenin said, Confuse the meaning of words and you confuse the mind. Why the only legal tax form is 2555 and why wages are not income? How the Federal Reserve creates money out of thin air and charges the American people interest?

What are the rights of a jury and how to challenge jurisdiction? Why oil wells dont dry up? Why was lead taken out of paint? How the government made hippies? What is the truth about mammograms and how to increase breast size when going through puberty? What is the cure for cancer which was discovered in 1931?

How to look at faces and determine what organs are damaged? How King James changed the Bible? How to get spiritual help? Why the created can never be greater than the one that created it?

Book Synopsis How the News Makes Us Dumb by : C. John Sommerville
Download or read book How the News Makes Us Dumb written by C. John Sommerville and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2009-09-20 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We who live at the end of the twentieth century are better informed--and more quickly informed--than any people in history. So why do we also seem more confused, divided and foolish than ever before? Some pundits criticize the news media for political bias. Other analysts worry that up-to-the-minute news reports on radio and television oversimplify complex realities. Still more critics point out that today's reporters can't possibly be experts on the wide variety of subjects they cover. Historian C. John Sommerville thinks the problem with news is more basic. Focusing his critique on the news at its best, he concludes that even at its best it is beyond repair. Sommerville argues that news began to make us dumber when we insisted on having it daily. Now millions of column inches and airtime hours must be filled with information--every day, every hour, every minute. The news, Sommerville says, becomes the driving force for much of our public culture. News schedules turn politics into a perpetual campaign. News packaging influences the timing, content and perception of government initiatives. News frenzies make a superstition out of scientific and medical research. News polls and statistics create opinion as much as they gauge it. Lost in the tidal wave of information is our ability to discern truly significant news--and our ability to recognize and participate in true community. This eye-opening book is for everyone dissatisfied with the state of the news media, but especially for those who think the news really informs them about and connects them with the real world. Read it and you may never again know the tyranny of the daily newspaper or the nightly news broadcast.
