Studies reveal; Babies are Stupid!

@The Onion

According to Institute president Molly Bentley, in an effort to determine infant survival instincts when attacked, the babies were prodded in an aggressive manner with a broken broom handle. Over 90 percent of them, when poked, failed to make even rudimentary attempts to defend themselves. The remaining 10 percent responded by vacating their bowels.

  "It is unlikely that the presence of the babies' fecal matter, however foul-smelling, would have a measurable defensive effect against an attacker in a real-world situation," Bentley said.

  Another test, in which the infants were placed on a mound of dirt outdoors during a torrential downpour, produced similarly bleak results.

  "The chicken, dog and even worm babies that we submitted to the test as a control group all had enough sense to come in from the rain or, at least, seek shelter under a leafy clump of vegetation or outcropping of rock," test supervisor Thomas Howell said. "The human babies, on the other hand, could not grasp even this incredibly basic concept, instead merely lying on the ground and making gurgling noises."

  According to Howell, almost 60 percent of the infants tested in this manner eventually drowned.

  Some of the babies tested were actually so stupid that they choked to death on pieces of Micronaut space toys. Others, unable to use such primitive instruments as can openers and spoons due to insufficient motor skills, simply starved to death, despite being surrounded by cabinets full of nutritious, life-giving Gerber-brand baby-food products.

I love these:

“Sudanese 14-year-old has midlife crisis.”

“Bassist unaware rock band Christian.”

“Bush addresses 8.2 million unemployed: ‘Get a job!’”

For shear creativity, though, this one takes the cake, even if it’s not as ha-ha-funny:
