You know, the truly horrible thing is that with minor edits (such as the removal of the honorific Dufus), somebody would want to publish a collection of such stuff.

A number of years ago, a couple of guys did a satire on public radio in the US of stupid, bland, empty know-it-all types, called Ask Mr. Science. The program answered such supposedly forwarded questions as why shoes sometimes seem tight at the end of day, or why slippers apparently turn around during the night. But the show became extremely popular with people who took it very seriously, which was ridiculous--it ended each program with the announced intoning, "He knows it all, because he has a Bachelor of Science!"
