An interesting study on Stupid. 

https://getpocket.com/explore/item/the-five-universal-laws-of-human-stupidity?utm_source=pocket-newtab

The main points here.  Perhaps we can recognize these points in others because  - We, the brilliant people of HB, have never done a stupid thing in our lives :cheers . :smokin

Let’s take a look at Cipolla’s five basic laws of human stupidity:









Law 1: Always and inevitably everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.

Law 2: The probability that a certain person be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.

Law 3. A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.










Law 4: Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places and under any circumstances to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.

















We underestimate the stupid, and we do so at our own peril. This brings us to the fifth and final law:

















Law 5: A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.

















And its corollary:

















A stupid person is more dangerous than a bandit.

A driver in Daytona Beach did not let a rising drawbridge stop them from reaching their destination.

Traffic camera video shows the driver speeding through the drawbridge crossing, breaking the arm and then driving over the bridge as it began to rise.

The car briefly caught a bit of air before landing on the other side and driving off.

Well, there's really no way to put this delicately. A Florida driver distracted by receiving intimate services from his passenger lost track of his surroundings and crashed head-on (it only gets worse from here, folks) into a FedEx delivery vehicle in Ft. Lauderdale on Thursday, resulting in "injuries to his private area," WPLG Local 10 reports.

The driver and passenger were apparently driving northbound in an SUV on North Ocean Boulevard when the driver became distracted by his passenger's performance and crossed the center line, striking the delivery van as it traveled southbound near the intersection with Northwest 19th St. Neither occupant of the FedEx vehicle was injured; the only package harmed was the one being attentively gift-wrapped by the passenger of the SUV.
