some call it an overactive imagination

the other day i was listening to the BBC (if only to mock their accents because they all end their sentences like questions) and a very useless report came up. ADHD helps Kenyan nomads survive. why? no apparent reason that i could decipher. i find this exceedingly funny. then some guy mentioned "evolution" and my mind went to "natural selection" (the unconfirmed hypothesis that nature will eventually weed out the bad in a species and leave the good, eventually forming a SUPER RACE!!!). now according to orthodox scientists the ADHD Kenyan nomads should be naturally selected and therefore eventually all Kenyan nomads will have ADHD. consider that for a moment.
now, can you not see it? hundreds of wandering, hyperactive tribes, running into towns yelling "hey! hey! wanna trade!? huh? huh? wanna trade now? I'll give you my camel for some Mt. Dew!"
i just thought i'd share that with y'all.

oh, another thing on the subject of Kenyans. in case you have never seen:

Wow, I would like to see ADHD Kenyans trade.


But who would want 400 babies?

oh babies are a good trade. there's so many things to do with them (http://www.dead-baby-joke.com/)

Robin said...

Hmm, true. I didn't think about trading them.

Are you sure you didn't MAKE that site, Bob? (;

Bob son of Bob said...

i should have...my favorite is the clown one :D

Robin said...

Yes, you should have.
The floating one isn't bad, either.

Bob son of Bob said...

which one was that?

Robin said...

How do you make a dead baby lighter?
Take your foot off its head.

Robin said...

Annnnd.... happy birthday, old man!

Dang it, Bob! You need to stop getting older than me! Hmph.

hehe, that's great.
what's the between a dead baby and a trampoline?
you take your boots off before you jump on a trampoline.

thankee, and thankee for not singing me happy birthday. that was pleasant. yay me! bitter 16!

Robin said...

Hmm... Why are test tube babies the most beautiful ones?
Because they're hand made.
These jokes would make great conversation-stoppers.

Believe me, I was tempted.
Sour sixteen, eh? I wonder why they call it that? Is it JUST because of being able to drive, or is there some other, more sinister reason? Hm.

Bob son of Bob said...

they do. or great starters, weed out all the bleeding-hearts in the crowd.

it comes from an old song...Sweet 16 and never been kissed etc.

Robin said...

Hmm, starters? That would depend strongly on the company.

Interesting how widely the plague has spread, from just one little song.

Bob son of Bob said...

i suppose...

it is! it must be really old because my grandma is giving me crap about it.

Robin said...

Really? Gosh. Must be ancient. Like you. You sure you dont remember a time before that song?

i'm not sure. does a caveman yelling count as music?

Robin said...

It does if you're thinking of rap.

Overactive imagination, overactive bladder. They'll both keep you up at night.

Robin said...

And an overactive cat. Don't forget that one.
