CFG - Complete Friggin Genius # 3

This is what you get when I get completely bored and wish some nerd geeks were around to laugh on your non-sensical jokes!

Follow-e-Dilbert

Have you read "The Dilbert Principle" by Scott Adams? Have you read this ? Well statistically speaking 89.3% of the population has (Can you disprove it?) and therefore we need something like Follow-e-dilbert.

This religion I propose (if anybody else has already done this, I brand this as having better features and I deny finding any such previous work during my survey. Also I demand my right of plagiarism), is a recluse for people like me who stopped believing in (existing) religions at some point of time in their life and look forward to a new world order.

What's in a name?
It took me a long time to name this religion. If you have read the "The Dilbert Principle" (henceforth referred to as "the bible") you will know that naming is a long process. However, a good name is important for success of any project (As in the bible you can draw parallels from real life to the corporate world as freely as the spider in the corner of my room spins its web (you will also find non-sensical analogies throughout this post as in the bible (I will drop "as in the bible" from now on (the parantheses make the post irritating to read but as it is mainly meant for nerds and people with lots of time it doesnt matter (however, the parantheses will always be balanced (now you know what I do for a living)))). So as I was saying a good name is important. I first thought of naming it after Scott Adams' (from now on referred to as SoG, Son of God) favourite creatures, weasel or chihahua but then I took the liberty of naming it after Akbar's long lost religion (who knows it might have worked and I would not have been writing this).
So here it is, Follow-e-Dilbert.

Central Theme

All people are Idiots


The Bible
"The Dilbert Principle" by Prophet Scott Adams (SoG)

The New Testament
"The Dilbert Future" by SoG

The Satan
Bob the Dinosaur - gives wedgies to people who deserve it.

The Holy Series
Futurama - Though never mentioned, it is highly probable that the religion in the future will be an advanced version of Follow-e-Dilbert.
Is it really a religion?

You will be wondering, does Follow-e-Dilbert qualify to be a religion? Although we (I take the liberty of assuming that I have some fellow brethren by now) do not care what you think but I will try to justify it with some points for the non-initiated. However, you will find that I am polite while I write. If you try to have a face-to-face encounter and you are not satisfied by the reasons stated below, I will shout non-sensically (use of profanity allowed) and lose my temper to have you under my command.
  • The central theme as in all religions is "All People are Idiots". If this sounds offensive to you or you do not agree with me, try reading the links in the first few lines of this post. I could go on and on about other religions but it will be irrelevant and a bit too hot for the flavour of this post.
  • People here too are divided into sects which are constantly in war with each other for dominance.
  • It has a Satan and a God.
  • It has a holy book of its own.
  • There is a moron who in his free time took pains to write down the holy book for the "benefit" of others.
  • Women are considered second class citizens.
I do not think any existing religion of the world has deeper reasons for it being called a religion. The above points necessarily and sufficiently satisfy the conditions of a religion. So if you can come up with all of these you also can start your own religion and:
  • Demand your own homeland
  • Demand that all others either convert to your religion or leave your homeland
  • Create a political party/"social organisation" to defend the interest of your religion
  • Create armed groups that hunt and kill all followers of other religions.
And the cherry on the top of the sundae which is on the top of the regualr ice-cream is that you will get international/national support and funds to carry out your operations.

Why is it better?
Now that you believe that it is a religion let me tell you the salient features of this one.
  • It is the only one to say out aloud the real central theme.
  • Nobody loses his life or dear ones in the war od the sects but only dignity (you wouldnt mind losing it, would ya?). The sects are marketing, engineering, sales and bosses and others. As you see this is a parallel drawn from the corporate world. However, with your mediocre intelligence you can neatly place everyone in the world into one of the sects. If you cannot determine the sect of a person he has probably done nothing in his life and hence you can effortlessly put him in the "end users" sect, the most idiotic of them all.
  • The sects are not by birth but by "qualification". Also one can jump from one to another depending on what suits him best. However, currently you are not allowed to be in two sects simultaneously. but we are working on it and this feature will be available in the future upgrades (Those who believe that religions cannot be changed once formulated, just look around you closer).
  • Though women are second-class citizens, they are never told so on face and are neither forced to hide themselves nor forced to death by burning. Infact, because any ladies do rarely follow Folow-e-Dilbert, they are by default put into end-user sect until unless they prove their worth.
Please feel free to ask any questions and queries about pros and cons of the religion as after all religion is there to suit our needs and must be bent to meet our own personal good. As I gain further insights I will keep updating the blog and keep clearing doubts.

CFG - Complete Friggin Genius

CFG - Complete Friggin Genius


It is a different world out there of people who are geeks in the heart but try hard not to act like one so that they have a chance of mingling in with the normal junta. I call then CFG's and the comic strips below depict some real life experiences or some insights that I gained during my tryst here at CSE Department, IITK.






This happened during a CS330 - Operating Systems class. Prof. Moona was telling about how old jobs remained scheduled in computers in old times. The class laughed and I do not deny smiling myself.






I came up with this one during one of my classes of CS340 - Theory of Computation while we were studying Regular Expressions. Later we spent nights laughing about absolute non-sense during our CS425-Networks assignments (we refers to:V. Bhanu Chandra, Manu Bansal, Siddhartha Jain and myself).




More to come soon ......
