‘Wilfully stupid’? WTF is that? A smart person who ‘wilfully’ does something stupid isn’t a smart person. Another DUMB comment.
Pastis has used his right wing character, rat, to humorize someone being stupid. It’s not real, he didn’t intend for you to agree with him, let alone suggest going further. I found Pastis’ cartoon funny, but I think many of these comments reveal exactly the stupidity he is referring to. How many of you would be maced or tazered if the world was run the way you suggest? Be careful what you wish for.
So many of you think that stupidity should be punished by pain, and not a single person disagrees? Seems to me that there are lot of really DUMB comments being made here.
Do your research? From Wikipedia, “What defines hibernation, however, is not the degree of temperature reduction, but the metabolic suppression. (Adult) human-sized bears can, however, lower (aerobic) metabolic rate to some 75% below, so-called, basal metabolic rates, which indicates that bears are hibernators.”
‘his or her chin’?
