There's a forum online where people are talking about things some people might THINK are a sign of intelligence . . . but they're actually not.  Here are a few of the good ones:   Being a contrarian.  "Disagreeing with everything is as lazy as believing everything." Just having a good memory.  Or knowing a lot of trivia. Fast-talking. Using "academic jargon" and long-winded terminology.  "Just because you know a couple fancy words doesn't mean you're intelligent."  And you better make sure you're using the big words appropriately. Having a YouTube channel.  It doesn't make you an authority on a subject. Education.  Good [...]

If he wanted to, Willie Nelson could thumb his nose at the marijuana haters when he turns 90 on April 29th. He's talked about how weed saved his life, so E!Online asked him to elaborate, and here's what he said. Quote, "Well, it not only saved my life, it probably saved some other people's lives.

They also asked if there's some kind of special diet that keeps him going. Quote, "I don't eat [...]

A video of a "husband calling contest" in 2017 has been making the rounds.  It's from the Iowa State Fair and it features the Top Five finalists.

A poll found the average office worker is most productive at 10:22 A.M., and then it's all downhill from there. We hit our first big slump at 1:27 P.M., and then another one on top of it at 2:06.  It also found we tend to feel the most drained on Mondays and Fridays.

(This trending story just boiled my blood) People on TikTok are encouraging us to stop giving our bosses a "two-week notice."  When you're ready to quit, just leave with ZERO notice. Their argument is that companies don't give YOU a two-week notice when you're fired or laid off.  So why help THEM out, just so they have time to replace you.

Is this a good point?  Or are we just getting more [...]

There's no cure for the common cold.  There's no cure for the coronavirus.  But there MIGHT be a cure for the flu . . . and it involves pressing a potato against your foot.  This is not science . . . it's TikTok.
