Egypt Does Archaeological Dig On Ben Carson’s Brain, Discovers A Idiot

Say what?


Brilliant neurosurgeon (OR IS HE?) Ben Carson is officially an international disgrace. Congratulations, doctor! You have now joined the elite ranks of several other Republican presidential candidates who have forced foreign nations to “Well, ACTUALLY” them, for their stupidity. Other distinguished recipients of the Excellence In Diplomacy Skillz Award include drop-out loser Scott Walker, cheese-eating surrender monkey Jeb Bush, anti-Semitic fuck nugget Mike Huckabee, and of course Mexican wall-builder Donald Trump.

Carson’s crime against intelligent thought is, as we all know and have yet to stop laughing about, his “own personal theory” that archaeologists are morons who haven’t spent enough time reading the Bible, because “if you stop and think about it,” it’s obvious the ancient Egyptian pyramids were built by the Jewish slave Joseph, he of the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, to store grain for winter. Even if one were to interpret the Bible literally, as Carson does — let us not forget Carson’s recent observation that Noah the amateur was a whole lot better at ark design than the pros who built the Titanic — Carson’s theory is still dumber than a sack of goat’s blood. And now we happen to have Egypt right here, to correct the world-class doctor of brains:

Mahmoud Afifi, Egypt’s head of ancient antiquities, said Carson’s comments were similar to other inaccurate theories about the pyramids, including that they were built by Atlanteans from a mythical lost continent.
“A lot of people are trying to prove that the pyramids weren’t built for burials,” said Afifi. “Maybe they’re comments used for publicity like that man who’s not an archaeologist and says they stored grain, and I don’t know what that was based on.”
Clearly, this Mahmoud Afifi feller is one of those “secular progressives” from the “liberal media” who’s out to gotcha Ben Carson. As is his colleague, antiquities minister Mamdouh el-Damaty, who literally can’t even:
“Does he even deserve a response? He doesn’t.”

We look forward to the next Republican candidate attempting to demonstrate his (or her!) unique qualifications for the office of the presidency by humiliating America with a string of sputtered words so idiotic, foreign nations feel compelled to correct the record. Our money’s on Ted Cruz.

1. I don't even know which Bible Carson read.

This is all the Biblical story of Joseph says about where grain was stored:

48 And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same.

49 And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for it was without number.

Genesis, Chapter 41, King James Version

Note please: the bible the grain was stored in cities, then in every city. I have no clue what constituted a city back then. However, all the pyramids I know about in Egypt are in the desert, both the pyramids of Giza (which are the ones I suspect Carson means) and other, less famous pyramids.

Store grain in the driest areas against a seven-year famine would have been sensible, but that is not what the Bible says. So, not even religion excuses Carson's nonsense.

So hard to reconcile this fabrication with his being a man of science.

2. people are pointing out that doctors are people of medicine, but not scientists. there is

a difference.

whenever I hear someone saying, "it's in the bible", I ask which of the some 500 versions out there they mean, and whether they read in ancient aramaic or greek.

3. A distant cousin from the shallow end of the gene pool tells her daughter

"It's in the Bible" whenever the daughter questions any instruction dim cousin gives her. Dim cousin has never read the Bible and has no clue what is and is not in the Bible. I predict an effed up kid.

4. that poor kid. here is hoping the daughter has other resources--with brains.

"it's in the bible" ranks right along with "because I said so" as lazy, and stupid.

[merrily]

5. At least "because I said so" is not an out and out lie.

With cousin, "it's in the Bible" is usually untrue and cousin doesn't care whether it's true or not. How's that for piety?

6. there is that. agree with you about the daughter. pity this isn't considered abuse.
