With the development of new technologies perpetually taking over our society, we have learned that we no longer have to think, we don't have to. At our fingertips is a smart phone with access to the world wide web. Who cares that we can no longer multiply 8 x 7 in our heads, we always have a calculator. How do you spell ignorant? Who knows, that is what spell check is for. I will discuss the idiotic things I see on a daily basis that makes me lose faith in the average IQ of the human race.

Chicken Fried Chicken
This has bugged me for a long time so I thought it would be a fitting title for my blog and a good debut post. Have you ever been to a restaurant and noticed that they have both "Chicken Fried Steak" and "Chicken Fried Chicken" on the menu? Let me tell you why this does not make sense. Let's first define Fried Chicken. To Fry Chicken one would typically coat the chicken with some sort of breading and fry it in hot oil. So to say that we are going to make a "Chicken Fried Steak" is to say that we are going to make a steak like we would fry chicken. We would take a steak, coat it with a breading, and fry it in oil. So in regards to "Chicken Fried Steak" the "Chicken Fried" portion is an adjective that describes how one will cook the steak. Simple enough right? So then, in the case of "Chicken Fried Chicken" how do we fry the chicken like one would fry chicken? If we were to fry the chicken as one would fry chicken, wouldn't it just be called "Fried Chicken"? Isn't "Fried" a sufficient adjective to the word "Chicken" to describe how it will be prepared? I could go on, but I would just be ranting. The first time I saw "Chicken Fried Chicken" on a menu my faith in humanity died just a little bit.
