Re: Stupid People

Well, you could always follow the Golgafrinchan example. Tell them the moon is going to crash into the earth, then launch them all into space on an orbit that intercepts the sun.

Unfortunately, launch costs are much too high for such a solution currently. Even getting stupid people to low-earth orbit would be prohibitively expensive, let alone any sort of interception trajectory.

Pseudo-Scientists
In fact, even if there was a layer of solid gold stupid people orbiting 150 miles above the Earth, and you could go up there and exchange a regular stupid person for a solid-gold stupid person, and then bring them back down and melt down the gold, you would still lose money!

Pseudo-Scientists
Nevermind the ethical problems involved.


Pseudo-Scientists
Because stupid people have as much a right to live on Earth as anyone?

Pseudo-Scientists
No, I mean the ethical problems in melting down a solid gold person...

What if it didn't kill them, and you made coins out of them, and then the coins would say "help me, help me," in a little voice...

Pseudo-Scientists
You know, Greg, there's a fine line between pseudo-science and just plain crazy talk.
