"The Little Book of Dumb Britain"

This book rules. It's done by Private Eye, and it's got really dumb answers to questions on Weakest Link, WWTBAM and so on. I'll post some of my favourites, and you'll laugh:

"Fish."

"When was the Battle of Hastings?"
"1866."

"What did MPs recieve for the first time in 1911?"
"Guns."

"What was the name of the scandal involving Bill Clinton?"
"Watergate."

"What is the only marsupial to live in America?"
"Dolphins."

"Who wrote The Lord of the Rings?"
"Enid Blyton."

"Which of the 7 deadly sins begins with 'L'?"
"Love"

"Who is the 1st man named in the Bible?"
"God..err...no...Jesus."

"In what year of the 90's did badminton and basketball become an Olympic sport?"
"1984"

"..He was a very boring Prime Minister, lost the last election, name is a rank in the army?"
"Al Gore...NO! BUSH!"

"Who is the President of the U.S.A?"
"Pass."

"What colour of the rainbow is also a fruit?"
"Violet."

made me laugh...More when I can be bothered.

Humm...for some reason I didn't laugh at those. The courtroom ones were hilarious.

Er, no rush, eh?

There is one American one, and it's a great 'un:

"Where is the Effiel Tower?"

"In Paris."

"And where is Paris?"

"In France."

"And where is France?"

"In England."

I don't find them funny, basically because I kinda accept that people really are that stupid. I find it more tragic.

Violet would make a good fruit.

Oh man! Some funny stuff there

But they should make an American version, they're even worse!

No, they're real. I kid you not.

Are these ones that were made up, or did people actualy say these things?
