There's no limit to the number of STUPID people out there.

I thought there was a limit to the number of people out there and since the number of stupid people per person is finite (normally ≤1), wouldn't it follow that there is a limit to the number of stupid people?

Story has it that once, while Frank Zappa was testifying before Congress, he became annoyed (shock!).

He paused during his testimony and said (I'm paraphrasing) "You know, scientists say that that the basic component of the universe is hydrogen, because it is the most plentiful substance in the universe. I disagree. I dispute that. I think there is plenty more STUPIDITY in the universe. I say that stupidity is the basic building block."

I love Frank! And the fact that his testimony is part of the Congressional Record makes me smile!
