The Stultum manuever is something you say when you're trying to sound smart. Can be used in any context as a substitute for almost any adjective. Can be used when you have no real explanation for a series of events. For example, lightning striking that tree was an example of the Stultum Manuever.

Translates to Latin to mean "Foolish." This is because when you use it, everyone will be stunned at your knowledge and will be rendered fools.

The two states of being are as a human being, or a hungry ghost. Semi-regularly you need to ask yourself which you are. Sometimes it is human. Others, alas, it is hungry ghost.

The hungry ghost seeks validity outside of themselves. Someone pining for an indifferent ex is a hungry ghost. Someone who arrives alone at 6:30 on Saturday night to a pub is probably a hungry ghost. Obsessive checking of mobile phones, chat sites or networks are clear signs that one is a hungry ghost.

The best thing to do is just stay home and ride it out. Read a book. Find some good clean fun.
