Scott Adams: In his own words
Enough about me. Let’s hear more about you. I want you to tell your most amazing personal story. Be anonymous if you must. Have you ever killed anyone? Dated identical twins? Stopped a crime? Survived a freak accident? Had a celebrity encounter? Influenced world events? Witnessed a once-in-a-century event that…
Read MoreThere are words that I never learn to spell, no matter how many times I look them up, and it bugs me. Today is one of those days where I don’t feel like Googling the proper spelling of the terrorist group al-kayda, or El-coodah, whatever. Today only, I will spell…
Read MoreI heard on the news that terrorist al-Zarqawi didn’t die right away from the bombing. Apparently he turned and muttered something incomprehensible to the police before he died. This got me wondering what he muttered. I’m sure you can come up with some good guesses. My best guess is something…
Read MoreYesterday my future step children, 6 and 8, gave me birthday cards that they had made by hand. I’m new to this, but I was sure it would be one of those special moments that I would treasure for a lifetime. Justin, the youngest, went first. His handmade envelope was…
Read MoreMy good friend Marsha used to have the best birthday date ever. It was the sort of date you could easily remember because it’s the number you dial in America when you are calling for emergency services: 9/11. Unfortunately for Marsha, her birthday got ruined by pesky terrorists. Today is…
Read MoreReaders have pointed me toward two interesting web sites recently – one on each side of the God-or-not question. One site contains a video clip that explains how 100% of the prophecies in the Bible have come true. And since 25% of the entire Bible is prophecy (according to this…
Read MoreAs a rule, I don’t like to laugh at the misfortune of others. The exception to that rule is if it’s really, really funny. Did you see the Reuters story about the man that jumped into a lion’s habitat at the Kiev zoo and yelled “God will save me, if…
Read MoreWe humans generally assume that reality is fixed and objective. Therefore we assume that the reason other people view reality differently is because they are ignorant and/or irrational. The problem with that view is that there are more well-informed and rational people opposing your world view – no matter what…
Read MoreI need you history buffs to help me out on something. People keep using America’s involvement in WWII as a good example of doing something that was obviously good that the general public didn’t support. We needed a leader to make it all happen, they say. Therefore, leadership is good….
Read MoreI came across this article on the web about the benefits of reading. http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/departments/elementary/?article=WhatEffectReadingHasonOurMinds>1=8236 [no longer available] The article mentions a test of 268 U.S. College students that found 70% of them believe that Jewish people outnumber Muslims in the world. (There are 800 million Muslims and only 20 million…
Read MoreFor contractual reasons I can’t show you a Dilbert comic before it appears in newspapers. But I can show you this cropped image from a comic that I planned for 6/24. Unfortunately it didn’t make it past the editors at my syndication company, United Media. They felt that many newspapers…
Read MoreA number of posters on this blog have mentioned that they talk directly to God. I’d like to know more about how that works. How do you know for sure that it’s God on the other end? Couldn’t it be a demon of some sort that’s just pretending to be…
