Rule of stupid launched as Crazy Enough to Work: From YKTTW
Micah: How is this different from Million to One Chance?
Larry D: Million to One Chance is about improbable events occuring, Crazy Enough to Work is about pulling off stupid plans. Throwing something at the control lever of a bulldozer is a long shot, but it's not stupid. Using a cannon's recoil to throw you accross the gap between ships, that's stupid.
Meta Four: Removed the John McCain / Sarah Palin example for reasons of The Rule Of Cautious Editing Judgement.
fleb: Just as well now, as it seems to have not been quite crazy enough to work after all.
