    Must be going around today. Friend sent me a clip of John Cleese talking about how it requires the same amount of intelligence to master a task as it takes to realize your not competent at a task. So its very likely much of what is undertaken is done so by those quite un prepared to do so, but completely ignorant to even realize it....

    At any rate, grabbed an extension cord out of a pile and ran it to the chop saw. Cutting a pony wall in the rain and shocked the bajesus out of myself... only to realize I grabbed the only cord in the pile with no ground... feeling very much like Im on the far left of the graph today.
