    Well tbh I must say that acting a bit like a fool helped us free from several responsibilities. But when we try to be taken seriously it will be an uphill battle.

    I remember a Singaporean kid who brag about how he can avoid physical training during his mandated military training because he acted like a mentally retarded kid during the interview session.

      That’s brilliant, and completely in line with the way that I was raised.

      Until I was six years old, I believed that my father had been the first person to discover metal; he’d flown a spaceship to Venus, and there were, like, hex nuts and washers and I-beams and stuff all in orbit around.

      I said, “Oh yeah? Well, if there wasn’t metal, what did you build your spaceship out of?”

      He said, “Fiberglass.”

      I was convinced.

    To be honest, when I tell people I’ll google the directions, it’s not because they’re the derpy one.

    Yeah… I get really judgmental when someone asks me for directions. I very quickly evaluate whether or not they can handle the vast amount of information I’m going to give them. “You should just Google it.” means I find you lacking. :-\

      Well, just because someone isn’t good with directions doesn’t mean they’re a bit dense, because its the kind of thing I’ve figured you’re either good at, or aren’t. There is not much room for “in between”, so a lot of people (probably) chose to go with the easier, safer side.

      P.S. I laughed at the Stephen Hawking trying to take a pillow, nice touch.

      I usually just offer to print/trace/email them a map from Google because I find that easier than describing it myself. I don’t have to worry about being understood, plus I usually don’t remember the names of the streets. I go by visuals, which are difficult to communicate.

        I’ve given up giving OR receiving directions, after I tried to prove a point. I’d given up using a GPS years ago, because they were terrible. So I wanted to point out that my directions are better than GPS, and I had Google Maps choose a route between two places I go all the time. And it chose a different route than the one I’ve learned is the best one.

        And to prove it, I went the incredibly stupid route Google Maps gave me.

        It shaved five minutes off my time, and is now the route I always go. GPS directions have gotten a lot better since the time I gave them up as stupid.

    When I see him, I’m telling Stephen Hawking that you’re using his bug-likeness !

    Haha! I’m in Guam. This island exports nothing but exhausted tourists going home. So, trick question!

    Guam’s major exports (according to Google): refined petroleum, construction materials, and fish.
    You’re welcome.
