If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What excuse do the rest of us blockheads have when we do stuff that's stupid like that? Senior moments? Blonde moments?

Unrelatedly, I love George Clooney:

But only minutes later, Clooney was amiable and charming, no matter what question was put to him, even when asked if he'd consider starring with Heath Ledger if there were to be a sequel to "Brokeback Mountain."

"Heath is awfully handsome, so probably," Clooney responded.

If I only had a brain...

I call it a "memfault". My life is a memfault lately.

Let me tell you about my first "academic moment."

I'm totally using this phrase instead of "senior moment".

There's also pregnancy brain, I guess.

I probably have the most "academic moments" in my family, and am the least academic.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

I call it a "Brain fart".

brainfarts (see? great minds and all that crap.)

My face is hurting to avoid laughing. It was locking the fridge that did it.

Heh, I've got a friend who is both an academic and a blonde and while he's what I consider generally saavy about day to day stuff, manages to have more than his fair share of "moments". I'm guessing that must be double jeopardy.

My question is, who are the people who don't have these kinds of events?
