Dilbert Gives You the Business - Adams Scott

This is not about the book by the author of the famous Dilbert comic strip. This is about Scott Adams’ blog at https://dilbertblog.typepad.com

Always wondered if comic strip writers are funny when they are not working, you know, in daily life. . For proof, see the blog.

Scott’s comments on news and current events are generally far far funnier than anyone else can make them. I just wish he wrote the entire newspaper - everything even the classified ads.

He tends to be extremely sarcastic, mean and dark at times - makes him even funnier - and doesnt mince words or go in for political correctness. As he says, (with pent up glee) there’s no editorial control on the blog. All the better for us.

Scott is a regular poster. In fact, the few times he was not posting was on his wedding day, recently, and his honeymoon Disney cruise (or familymoon, as it turned out to be). Its an addiction - the days he doesnt post,   I read his archives.

The posts usually get tons of comments. The blog is turning out to be the space for all those slacking off from work temporarily ( or lets be honest, permanently) to write funny comments, and socialize. I started to read the comments as well, and now can’t stop. Some of these are just as witty and funny as Scott - they’re just not as consistent as him (which I suppose is the difference between a professional humorist and amateurs).

Here’s a bit from a recent post that he wrote on the news that the planet Pluto is being downgraded - its not a planet anymore...

Unlike Pluto, I believe there is life on the one true funny planet. Ibelieve there are primates and I believe they have evolved the power of flight. But you probably won’t believe that until winged monkeys flyout of Uranus."- Scott Adams

(U got it, I hope? Ur-Anus? Hyuk)

Though Scott warns amateurs to keep off the road, there were a few attempts anyway. ------------------

Here’s some funny Uranus jokes in the comments section...

Iam very seriously concerned about the relabeling of Pluto. What doesthis mean to anyone who has ever taken a test with a question regarding Pluto being a planet. If you answered that Pluto was a planet and gotthe question correct it should have been wrong. Millions of people could be living a lie about how smart they are...

On the other hand if you answered that question any other way andgot the question wrong you have been victimized. There is false documentation showing that you dumber than you really are. This couldbe tragic. Imagine being stuck at a crappy job all your life because the science world supplied you with false information! (Dinesh )

I hear Pluto has decided to run as an independent. (fang )

Remindsme of one of my favorite Dilbert comics from a few years ago. The one where Dogbert was hired to come up with a new name for the company & used a name generator that combined astronomy names with scientific names & came up with "Uranus Hertz". (Bryan) | (It Hertz me to read this)

Hasn’t NASA got a probe going to Pluto or something? I read somewhere thatit’s not due to get there untill 2015. I guess they must be a bit aggreaved right now - (yhm) | Nasa probing Ur-anus, hyuk)

I hear Uranus is very windy. - (dropzofjupiter |

Justto follow-up on my earlier comment, that "Jupiter’s name is probably atrisk" ... I fear the new name would be Yurpeter (perhaps spelled"Jupeter").- (ishmel | (Ur-peter? peter slang for pen-is)

I’m mostly upset because I have to go back and change all my elementary school science projects. Stupid solar system models made out ofstyrofoam balls and hangers... Without pluto it won’t balance correctly. I have something to say those scientists: "Take this styrofoam ball and shove it up Uranus." -             DJH |

I have pictures of Uranus. They’re a little fuzzy, but what a sight to behold!-           Don Don (little fuzzy-hyuk)

NASA spent $100 million dollars to find there are rings around Uranus.Damn, it’s still funny.-: (Financial Reflections )

Professor: "Uranus was renamed in 2261 to end that stupid joke once and for all"

(OldFart)

                                   The problem isn’t that Pluto is small, the problem is that Pluto makes Uranus look huge.-                (niCk(MemBeth)
