“The difference between ignorant and educated people is that the latter know more facts. But that has nothing to do with whether they are stupid or intelligent. The difference between stupid and intelligent people-and this is true whether or not they are well-educated-is that intelligent people can handle subtlety. They are not baffled by ambiguous or even contradictory situations-in fact, they expect them and are apt to become suspicious when things seem overly straightforward.” PeopleKnowsWellsFactsSeemsDifferencesInterestingSituationStupidIntelligentHandleIgnorantEducatedLatterContradictorySuspiciousStraightforwardSubtletyAmbiguousWell EducatedBaffled Author:Michael Moore

“Will Ferrell is probably the funniest comic actor, certainly of my generation. I am a huge, huge Will Ferrell fan. I'm not a huge comedy buff, truthfully. What I find funny is either something unbelievably stupid, like Dumb And Dumber or Airplane!, where the jokes are just so stupid and pointless, or something like The Office or The Comeback, where the humor is in the excruciating awkwardness of a situation. Stella kind of explores both of those, stupidity and awkwardness.” KindSituationComedyStupidOfficeJokesStupidityComicDumbAirplanePointlessComebackAwkwardness Author:Michael Showalter
