I'm not sure we have a thread for this, but if we do, shame me hard.

Apparently Kim Kardashian has been trying to become a lawyer. It's not going great. The funny bit is

Quote:
"All of the f---ing psychics that we have met with, and that we're obsessed with, are all f---ing full of s---,” Kardashian can be heard telling someone on the phone as she gets her hair and makeup done for the soirée.

She continued, "They all collectively, maybe four of them, have told me I was gonna pass the bar, so they’re all full pathological liars — don’t believe anything they say."
https://ew.com/kim-kardashian-slams-...-exam-11847239

I guess that's progress? Realizing psychics are full of ####? But I'm not sure she really gets it.

Anyway, keep at it Kim, you'll get there one day. Or not.

That depends if she goes for the advice of a fifth psychic or not.

California Psychics advertise on Sirius radio a lot. They claim “our psychic advisors are rigorously screened and tested repeatedly for their intuitive abilities, with only the top 2% of psychic applicants making the cut.”

LOL - how do they screen the “good” ones from the “bad” ones?

A psychic called me once to sue a newspaper for refusing to run her ads. I said ok, let’s establish you are psychic. Tell me what I’m thinking. She hung up the phone.

So, she was right. You were thinking of hanging up the phone!!

California is considered to have the hardest bar exam in the US... on this one, Kim gets a pass IMO.

You really want your lawyer to be consulting psychics? She can get a pass on failing, sure.

I think that I read recently that she's a huge conspiracy nut. Is on record saying the moon landing is a hoax for example.

I still remember in the 80's when there were info mercials for psychic networks on after midnight.


One of the more famous ones was JoJo's psychic network, where she claimed that she predicted the death of her brother.


I have questions.


Either


She predicted the death of her brother and did nothing to warm him
Or she killed her brother and then claimed to have predicted it.


WE need to bring back the insane infomercials of the 80's and early 90's.


Now back to Kim Kardashian or whatever her name is bombing the bar exam, I'm sure that she'll somehow get past this tragedy.

Happy Exploding Whale Day everyone!

https://www.oregonlive.com/living/20...ars-later.html

Engineers from the Oregon Highway Division, unsure how to dispose of the 8-ton sperm whale carcass, decided to blow it up with 20 cases of dynamite. The result: a spectacular explosion that sent whale blubber raining down on spectators, cars and the dunes on Nov. 12, 1970.

God I love it sometimes.

"Well...how do we remove this gigantic whale carcass? Large machinery? Some bulldozers and maybe a giant crane?"

"Nah man...lets just cram it full of dynamite and see what happens!!"

Great thread idea, I'm endlessly fascinated by idiots believing dopey things. My recent favorite was Candace Cameron Bure proclaiming that watching scary movies opens up a portal to hell which will allow demons into your life. Frickin loon.



https://www.usatoday.com/story/enter...c/84169882007/

Candace Cameron Bure recently shared that she believes that playing scary movies on TVs is a "portal" for "demonic stuff."

The former co-host of "The View" and a devout Christian shared her views on the matter during a conversation with her youngest son, Lev, 25, and Waco, Texas-based pastor Jonathan Pokluda during a recent episode of her self-titled podcast.

The Great American Family star, 49, added that "I don't even want someone watching a scary movie in our house on the TV because to me, that's just a portal," telling her son and "JP" that "I'm in the film industry. I understand how it all works."


Candace Cameron Bure remembers playing 'weird' evil witch on 'Boy Meets World'
The younger sister to actor Kirk Cameron continued: "I know that movie has a crew of 200 people, and they’re lighting it, and they’re adding the sound effects, and it’s makeup, and the camera, people, and actors; however, there’s still something that can be incredibly demonic while they’ve made it."

I'd have loved to be a fly on the wall when the decision to blow it up was made. I picture a number of experts going over a number of options, with one dude just sitting in the corner constantly going



until they finally gave in. I mean, what could possibly go wrong?

The best part was during the interview that I posted, they're talking to that super-official 'man-in-hardhat.'

"Yeah...we dont want to bury it because thats hard. We dont want to chop it up because thats gross and a lot of work. We're just going to blow it up and let the seagulls do the rest. We just dont know how much dynamite to use so we're going to 'Wiley Coyote' this project."
