So for Christmas, I get an Ipod. My uncle gets me to download the Da Vinci code to listen to during my commute time.

I start out on chapter one, then Iisten to another chapter. At the end of that chapter I hear, "This concludes The Da Vinci Code, thank you for listening."

I then realize that I had forgotten to turn off the 'Shuffle' feature and Murphy's law took hold, shuffling the book to the very last chapter.

Doh, now how can you read the rest of the book when you know the great mystery of the DaVinci Code--

Raphael did it.

I'm reading The Da Vinci code currently. I lost my bookmark and had to start over, but at least I knew not to read the last chapter first.

Bob: read the post directly above your last post.

The good thing is that it was the epilogue. The reason why I kept listening and didn't really pay attention is that in the chapter, the main character walks through the streets of Paris, a place i lived for a year and loved every second of it. I was so interested in the detail, I didn't realize I had jumped to the ending.

Spoiler....
About all I learned is that he finds the resting place of Mary Magdelene's bones in The Louvre. Whatever that means, however, I'm not sure.

Well.... *Spoils entire book for Pat, the incompetent one*

I gave that book to my sister for christmas, and since I'm not very good at wrapping presents, I ended up wrapping it upside-down. Luckily, my sister isn't as stupid as Pat and she quickly sorted the matter out.

I'd rate it 8.2 on the stupidity meter.

Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :

What do you rate the act of announcing and describing your stupidity in a public forum filled with wise-cracking evil people?

Pat, I don't know if she has stuck by it but Mack gave up "the finger" when you were gone. The anatomy discussion

That is funny. I haven't done anything nearly so foolish with my own iPod... yet. [Smile]
