Dictionary of Received Ideas
That’s the name of a feature by Justin Evans in the new periodical The Point (issue two, Winter 2010). It’s a bit like Ambrose Bierce’s Devil’s Dictionary and I found it to be the funniest article I have read this year. (It doesn’t seem to be on-line.) Here is one set of consecutive entries:
Economics: actually explains everything
Economy, the: completely incomprehensible
I also liked this one:
Debt: i) public — is inexcusable;
private — drives the economy.
ii) public — drives the economy;
private — is a failure of social safety nets.

A little Minnesota humor ….
This is from our friend Hans.
After having dug to a depth of 10 meters last year, Scottish scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 100 years ago.
Not to be outdone by the Scots, in the weeks that followed, British scientists dug to a depth of 20 meters, and shortly after, headlines in the UK newspapers read: “British archaeologists have found traces of 200 year old copper wire and have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the Scots.”
One week later, “The Frizbee”, a Freeborn Minnesota newspaper reported the following: “After digging as deep as 30 meters in corn fields near Freeborn Lake, Ole Johnson, a self taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Ole has therefore concluded that 300 years ago Norwegians were already using wireless.”
