Top Ten stupid things I have noticed
10. How at the cinema they now have intermissions before the film even starts. How do you have an intermission that isn't a break in something?
9. When you don't have a keyboard plugged into your PC, it tells you some stuff like "Keyboard missing - Press
8. Error 404 for File not Found on the Internet - you mean that whoever made up the code numbers thought of 403 other things that could go wrong before that?
7. How the people who make SlimFast seem to find it remarkable that if you have milkshake twice a day instead of food and only eat one actual meal that you lose weight.
6. How in most UK sports stores (especially JD Sports - hang your heads in shame), I can never find b-ball trainers to fit me (UK size 12), yet you can get the world of baby-size sneaks for kids that can't even walk yet?
5. Microsoft Word lets you insert sound clips into the document, a feature destined to be ignored until someone invents talking paper.
4. In this country, at 16, you can have sex all day long, join the army and kill people left, right and centre not long after, and yet you can't watch a film about either until you turn 18.
3. Why don't they make planes out of the same stuff as their black boxes?
2. The designers of the Stealth Bomber may have made it invisible to radar, but do they really think no-one will be able to see a huge black plane flying in their direction?
1. How opticians have mirrors up so you can see what you look like in different frames - you can't see anything, that's why you needed to get glasses in the first place.
