People Are Stupid

"Gullible" doesn't even begin to cover this story:

Scientists say Russia's x-ray vision girl, who can see inside the human body, can also spot internal injuries just by looking at a photograph.

The latest string of experiments was carried out by Professor Yoshio Machi at Tokyo University, who specialises in studying apparent superpowers in human beings.


Naturally, such a person has absolutely no vested interest in the "case." Yet millions of people are apparently trying to get this girl to "read their health." Probably the same demographic cross-section who think they see the image of the mythical mother of a dead Jewish itinerant preacher under a bridge in Chicago.

Sartre had it right.

(Don't mind me; I just got through driving to work in Monday morning Houston traffic. It's the veritable motherlode of human stupidity and incompetence.)
