We all see things every once in a while where all you can do is shake your head and say 'REALLY!?' I'm after seeing a status there on Facebook asking straight up - are unicorns really real!? :eek: She genuinely really believed that they were real!! She's proper disappointed now that she's found out they're only mythical creatures!!

There was a ad for butter lipstick a few years ago, my ex turns to me and says I wonder if it's made from butter.....She also followed that up with do Parrots lay eggs

I think there is a very similar thread here in AH.
Dumb Facebook Statuses or the like.

Pre-Poo Toilet Spray, yes you read correctly, a spray you carry around with you and spray into the toilet bowl before you do a dump, to avoid the people coming in after you having to smell your "devil's doughnuts" as the ad puts it.

When i first saw the ad on TV I just assumed it was a spoof, but no, sometimes the truth really is stranger than fiction.

Mainly religious ****. We're gonna take back the holy land cos thats where our guys from. We're gonna teach you our religion (or kill you) cos our guy said we're right and your wrong. We're gonna fly a plane into a building cos our guy is mad at you. We don't do blood transfusions cos our guy said its wrong. etc etc.... I know its the thing you believe in but stop and have a think for a minute. Massive oversimplification but hopefully you get my point. On a small scale, triple parking to save yourself a 1 min walk to get a bag of chips. You **** off you ridiculous ****!

A friend mine once told me a story of the time he had a girl up in his room. They were fooling around and he heard his mother coming up the stairs so he made her climb out the window of his bedroom where a ladder had been placed. We all knew he was lying, but even to this day he still insists it actually happened.

Things written about Northern Ireland and its people, mostly online.


Woman saying that Martin McGuinness shouldn't have been going for president as he is from Derry even though the last president was Belfast born.

Yank said that the Scotch-Irish Americans got their Scandinavian DNA from the Vikings raids of Ulster in the 10th century, the Scotch-Irish didn't arrive in Ulster until the 17th century. Ulster wasn't settled much by Vikings anyway.

People complaining when John Hume won the greatest Irishman award because he was from United Kingdom, the other contenders like Michael Collins were also born and raised in the United Kingdom.


On a US tv series there was a scene when the actor called Bushmills Protestant whiskey and Jameson Catholic even though John Jameson was Scottish and probably Protestant, plus Bushmills is owned by Catholics now I think.


When the US Army were based in Northern Ireland in WW2 they were given wee information books, it said in them that the shamrock and St Patrick belonged to Southern Ireland, Patrick most likely spent most of his mission in north and west of the island, even the modern airport in loyalist Belfast has an advert up promoting "St Patricks country" in Downpatrick. The wee booklet also said that unionists were also very proud Irishmen.


Random unionist woman on wireless slandering the Irish language and how it is a foreign language, her own home towns name comes from the Irish language. Also big Arlene comparing the language to Polish.


Loyalist saying that the Ulster Plantations were revenge for the Gaelic invasion of western Scotland in the 6th century, the Gaels who settled in Scotland were his own direct ancestors, that is like an American saying in 700 years that the US will invade Europe because you invaded us.

There is also some nonsense spouted about Scotland too but that is mostly due to peoples hatred of the SNP rather than ignorance.

I remember, during that campaign, someone (I think it was on Boards) saying that David Norris would be an unsuitable president because he's a Protestant... Um... like Hyde... and Childers.

Throw a dart at any of these. It'd probably qualify as 'most ridiculous thing I've ever read'...

Girl asked me once what country Earnest was in, she was curious to know, and to know why so much starts there .

''search for Miss Heritage 2017 has started in Earnest''

''This war will start in Earnest on Tuesday, when early reports from E&E News indicate that President Trump will sign an executive order ...''

''The 2017 NCAA Tournament opens Tuesday and Wednesday with play-in games and then starts in Earnest on Thursday''

''Fremantle's search for its 2017 captain starts in Earnest down at the Port today. There could be an announcement as soon as today, or as late ...''

''While the conference starts in Earnest on Monday, the first day of SXSW officially kicked off on Friday with a smattering of events, film premieres ''

Earnest is a busy place.

I was asked by an American about the 24 hour clock at a buseireann bus stop. He didn't no how to read the bus timetable.
he didn't believe me when I told him what time the bus was coming at.
I was only a young lad at the time so maybe that was the reason. Or maybe he was just an absolute retard ; )

She thought unicorns were real, lol, suppose she thinks dinosaurs actually existed too!!

Walter H Price

was literally only taking about a chap i worked with in the US earlier , he couldn't get his head round the fact i was an atheist always had a million questions to put to me to stump me into accepting god was real, he had some absolute crackers such as :

If Gods not real how do you explain electricity - He believed electricity was a gift from god sent to earth through lightning

If people evolved from Monkeys , then why are there still monkeys - TBF i think his understanding of evolution was shaped more by Pokemon then Darwin

If Gods not real who was Jesus dad - Mind was totally blown when i suggested i didn't necessarily believe Jesus ever existed

If Gods not real how do you explain all the people cured of cancer through prayer - didn't have much response for what about all the people who die anyway incl kids despite the prayers , other then the it's god will thing

Best of all though he believed Jesus was European - the reason for this being his "Buddy's" where called Matthew , Mark , Luke and John which are European names and the were Christians, If Jesus was from the middle east his Buddy's would a been called Mohamed or Abu and they would have been Jews or Mooslims .... Evidently missed the part were Jesus was a Jew but i didn't go there.

TBH any grown ass adult who believes any of the religious sh!t is kinda hard to take seriously , its kinda cute when kids have imaginary friends, kinda creepy though when people in their 20's , 30's & 40's let their imaginary friends blind them to facts , reason and control their lives.

A few weeks back, I spotted a guy thumbing for a lift with a chainsaw in one hand.

I'm sure plenty didn't believe me but a video was posted on Facebook last week, same guy... looked like the same chainsaw.

Feminism. The biggest load nonsense, far worse than traditional religious preachings. To be fair it does act as a great screening process for the bottom of the barrel of society.

Folks who are fully convinced that their opinions and moral standings are not only correct, but also that they are the norm of society and that those who disagree are stupid or immoral.
