Now That’s Just Plain Dumb!

Date Posted: June 8, 2012

It’s time again for some more audience participation. I saw this online feature the other day listing some of the dumbest apps created for smart phones. I obviously had to agree that anything flatulence-related should be on the list of dumbest apps, but one I just couldn’t believe was one called Hang Time. You’re supposed to throw your phone in the air, and it measures how much “hang time” you get. And as an added bonus, you can even compare your results with your friends. So let me get this straight, you actually want me to throw my phone up in the air, on purpose, and HOPE that I catch it. I mean, c’mon, seriously?!?

If nothing else, this feature got me to thinking: What do you think is the dumbest grants management regulation or requirement?
