I hope so.  You know, I hope I don't come across as bitchy and arrogant when I post things like that, but I've heard that story passed around so many times before and every time I tried and tried to imagine how people could be convinced such a thing is true... Patricia is not the only one to fall for conspiracy theory crap.

I used to date a guy who totally bought into all of it.  He refused to buy an American-made car built after 1987 because he believed that the government had installed computer chips in a secret compartment under them (somewhere near the front wheels, if I recall correctly).  These chips allowed the government to monitor traffic and travel throughout the U.S. via satellite, and when they decided it was time to take over the country, this satellite would beam a signal down to all these "bugged" cars and they would stop dead in their tracks, and then all of the super-top-secret soldiers that are sneaking around incognito would haul everyone out of their cars, load them onto trucks and ship them off to concentration caps in Wyoming and Montana.

He actually BELIEVED this ****!!!  He would sit at work all day (he was a security guard at a software company) reading "survival manuals" and newsletters written by other government conspiracy theorists (most of them he met at gun shows in Texas), plotting out his course of action when the time arrived.  We lived together for only a month or so, and had guns all over the place, weird military equipment catalogs and surveillance equipment and little spy gadgets I'd never even heard of... I found out he was tapping into private phone conversations at work and at his other job at an apartment complex.  He could intercept the signals from cell phones and wireless phones too.  He scared the hell out of me, and eventually I kicked his freak ass to the curb.

So.... anybody got any good "dumb Nic Chick stories" to share? I have this theory... maybe he's so good in bed that he actually sends an electrical circuit to your brain, which kills tons of brain cells.  If I'm gonna kill brain cells, I'd rather do it this way than by drinking.

In reference to the first post here, I read something similar in an interview of Nicolas when he talked about Alice.  He said that his new bride was in Africa with him(when they were filming Lord Of War) and on that day him and Alice were in a tent taking time off. That Alice went outside the tent to read a book and there was a lion very close by. He stuck his head out and told her that she should come inside because of the lion, and she said " Oh thats ok, they are just like cats anyway". Then in his interview he says how BRAVE he realized his new wife is..

BRAVE ??? he probably mean LOL DUMB !

Only Nic would consider standing so close to wild animals - and essentially invading their turf - to be a "brave" act.  And Alice sounds like a first-chair imbecilic bad-ass wannabe.  So he thinks the stupid little punk is "brave" and Patricia was "smart".  Wow.  He's easily impressed, isn't he?

That is Nic when it's about females ...lol he can tell stupid things like that  " BRAVE ....SMART ".....Etc....LOL What an ass ...sometimes I really wonder

LOL.  She was supposedly reading The Da Vinci Code, but that's simply not possible.  She never even graduated from high school, and if she's not even smart enough to know what the Declaration of Independence is, how could she possibly appreciate a book like THAT?

I sure hope she was able to color inside the lines.

I think this is what your looking for.  CAGE ASTOUNDED BY HIS FEARLESS WIFE  
NICOLAS CAGE has come to realise just how fearless his new bride ALICE KIM can be, after she read a book just feet away from lions in South Africa.

Following Cage and Kim's 30 July (04) wedding, the couple spent their honeymoon in Corsica and Venice, before jetting off to South Africa, where the actor filmed his movie LORD OF WAR.

And while Cage was thrilled his wife could be with him as he went on safari in Kruger National Park during breaks in filming, he was highly concerned about her fearless nature.

He says, "There were two lions sleeping outside the tent, literally like 10 feet away, a male and a female. I was in the tent and Alice was sitting outside the tent.

"I said, 'Honey, I think it would be a good idea if you came inside the tent and stayed away from the lions.' She said, 'No, it's okay. I'm just reading the DA VINCI CODE, don't worry about it. They're just like regular cats.'

"She thought they were like regular cats, which is pretty interesting. She definitely is brave. In any event, we had a lot of fun."

Thanks so much Ava for clearing that up for me!! It is appreciated.

Down here in the South where I come from we have another word for that kind of "bravery". We call it STUPID!....lol

do any of these words fit?

brainless, dazed, deficient, dense, dim, dodo, doltish, dopy, dotterel, dull, dumb, dummy*, foolish, futile, gullible, half-baked*, half-witted*, idiotic, ill-advised, imbecilic, inane, indiscreet, insensate, irrelevant, irresponsible, laughable, loser*, ludicrous, meaningless, mindless, moronic, naive, nonsensical, obtuse, pointless, puerile, rash, senseless, short-sighted, simple, simple-minded, slow, sluggish, stolid, stupefied, thick, thickheaded, trivial, unintelligent, unthinking, witless

Ava, so nice to hear from you honey!! 

I personally think the story is made up.  Yep, probably did the safari, but her reading anything over an 8th grade level is just too much.  I'd believe she was a stupid git though with the lions.  Notice how smart the lions were and didnt want her stink.
