5 Books That Can Actually Make You Stupider...

5. "Winning Lotto / Lottery For Everyday Players, 3rd Edition"

The title alone proves the retardedness of everyone who's even touched it three times over...

4. "How to Solve Sudoku: A Step-by-Step Guide (52 Brilliant Ideas)"

People like to believe that they're undiscovered super-geniuses because they can outwit the back page of a daily newspaper, which is why Sudoku are carefully crafted to actually be about as difficult as writing down your credit card number...

3. "More Joy ... : An Advanced Guide to Solo Sex"

The funny thing about this one is, it's actually a sequel...

2. "Supercharging Quantum-Touch"

In reality it's what happens when someone sees a copy of Scientific American in the trash while trying to think up an official sounding name for 'waving your hands mystically and going ooga-booga.'

1. "Much Ado About Nothing: The Restored Klingon Text"

This book is proof that a small but very profitable core of fans will buy absolutely anything connected to their chosen obsession...

Just a paraphrase, full article here: Article...

lol. yeah, lots of books out there that will confound intelligence.

i do enjoy sudoku puzzles (at least the ones that are 'supposedly' hard) but would never consider a book about one.

Okay, I'm sure it's cold and miserable in Rochester, NY right now, so I guess we can give the person who just found my blog by typing into Google:

'more joy ... : an advanced guide to solo sex'

a break... Wow!

Petra said...

lol!!! that someone actually typed that in and found your blog!!!

That just doesn't seem like something one would need an entire BOOK on, ya know??!!

Jackie said...

LOL!! That is funny.

And to think there is a magic in winning the lottery or sudoku. People are nuts!!

There are probably a lot more books like that. sudoku does help stimulate the prefrontal cortex so I am not against it but why you would need a book is beyond me. It does help build neuron connections, which the more neuron connections you have the better able your brain is to stave off dementia, etc. Crossword puzzles help too :).

Someone was trying to read the sex book, funny.
