Stupiphany

When someone stupid thinks they're having an earth-shattering epiphany that is in fact so incredibly moronic, asinine and just plain retarded that you have to bite your tongue not to scream, "Are you stupid!?" It's actually a stupiphany.

"...And all of a sudden I just thought, oh my goodness, I shouldn't reach my arm up so high since I'm pregnant!! It'll pull on the baby's umbilical cord so tight and strangle the baby..." (... because we all know the umbilical cord is directly attached to the mother's armpit!?)
