Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 15, 2010
Transcript:
Lucy: Whoa...you're actually studying? Danae: Sort of...I'm working on a system to make learning history easier. I noticed that nearly every historical figure is a guy, and since boys are just stinky booger-brains, they're all the same to me... Lucy: Um...so? Danae: So..."Stinky, booger-brain boy" will be my answer to any history question, which will make me technically right most of the time! Lucy: Gee, what could possibly go wrong? Danae: I know! It's perfect, isn't it? Sometimes I even amaze myself!

Q: Who was the leader of the Mongols?
A: A stinky booger brained boy…I wonder if Atilla would appreciate that?
wndrwrthg almost 15 years ago
Parethed, I think Genghis Khan would appreciate your answer even less.
parethed almost 15 years ago
You’re probably correct, wndrwrthg…it’s late…

Attila was a Hun, not a Mongol

Danae usually frightens me (how much I should worry for being frightened by a comic character is beside the point), but today she hits the nail on the head: almost all atrocities in history and almost all acts of stupidity have been and are being committed by (stupid, violent, fanatic) men.

Only because they’ve usually been the ones in charge. When women have been in power, they’ve shown themselves to be every bit as capable of greed, cruelty, and general stupidity as men. The problem is human nature, not the presence of a Y chromosome.

I have a new comic to show my history class. Daine makes teaching history so easy.

Our government leaders seems to be mostly Stinky Booger Brained Boys with a few Stinky Booger Brained Girls in the mix.

Hmmmm…
I wonder if Torquemada would have appreciated being referred to as a ‘Stinky Booger-Brain Boy’?
…probably not….

This really explains most of the current world situation. It’s brilliant. Political science class in college would have been much easier.

Yo Dogsniff. Yes, it is obvious. The Stinky Booger-Brained Boys have with general success been able to keep women repressed regardless of their intellect or abilities. It is a power thing much more than “men being better at leading.” And in case anyone is wondering, I am one of those stinky booger-brained boys.

I think if Danae & Calvin ever did meet, there would be a special snowman made for Danae.

So, how will Victoria help Joe out with this one when the note from the teacher comes in?

Wiley, Is Danae based on somebody you know?
Varnes almost 15 years ago
I heard Atilla’s boogers were really awesome to behold…

You can tell who’s married and who has kids around here….Danae would indeed make the election easier except some news channel would add, “Deluded” to the description of the “other guy” and we’re right back where we started.
freeholder1 almost 15 years ago
QUEEN stinky boogerbrain boy ?
FresnoDude almost 15 years ago
Well, I never had kids and I admit that it never occurred that anyone like Danae could really exist. Maybe Calvin could?

You’ve all started ganging up on poor old JAD lately. I almost joined in on Nestheads because of the zinger, and he CAN be tedious, but I have an old boyfriend who also can’t resist going on and on on whatever…;-)

Joe-Allen, you should be proud to have so many people interested in what you say. Does this mean I should stop sleeping with my horse?

I gotta start getting up earlier. I’m missing all the comments that get deleted. Sorry I missed your entry, LordDogmore.

Danae, is your teacher a Stinky Booger Brain Boy? If he is this plan might not work for you. If she is not:

Danae could get a job setting textbook standards in Texas.

but Ronald Reagan was a SBBB too! re:
“We are a Christian nation founded on Christian principles. The way I evaluate history textbooks is first I see how they cover Christianity and Israel. Then I see how they treat Ronald Reagan – he needs to get credit for saving the world from communism and for the good economy over the last 20 years because he lowered taxes.” – Dr. Don McLeroy, chairman of the Texas Board of Education, which recently approved a controversial new school curriculum

My con law professor has a theory that if Regan had been allowed a third term the Bushes would have never happened to America.
lindz.coop Premium Member almost 15 years ago
The Bushes had already “happened to America” in more ways than most folks know about.
Danae probably already has her own collection of SBB snowboys and putting her up against Calvin would be nothing less than a riot!

Danae (read: my fellow humans), when will you learn from your past mistakes? Oh. That’d be NEVER! Chew on this: a cockroach learns not to repeat the same mistake twice. So is “Danae” really dumber than an insect? SURVEY SAYS…yes. But who needs intelligence when you have self-delusion?
Strangely I now can’t get the picture of a pot and a kettle out of my mind.

just a thought about us stinky boogerbrain boy’s having messed up the whole world. – Behind every man is a woman. – and besides almost every war has been because of some woman thing or another.

Let us not forget the quintessential airhead of all time, Queen Antoinnette. She was wife to King Louis XIV of France. Her contribution was only to start the French revolution with comments like, but not only, “Let them eat cake.” She said this when told the peasants had no bread to eat. This was truly the epitome of self-absorption. King Louis did whatever she said without question. Both lost their heads, literally, on the guillotine.

HighPriest - do cockroaches only repeat the same mistake ONCE? If it was a mistake the first time, would they be around to repeat it at all?
Ernest Lemmingway almost 15 years ago
Roaches actually seem to learn from each other (they are a nesting insect) and what kills one just teaches the others an object lesson. It makes the survivors smarter, hardier, and more tenacious. That’s why you have to kill all of them at once or they just keep coming back. Plus roaches are not the easiest bug to kill save with a really big boot–and then the survivors of the colony just learn to avoid the boot, to boot! Pun intended.

Gosh – I always thought it was Louis XVI that lost his head – wrong booger-brain I guess!
