Twitter, an outlet for anyone to express his or her most perspicacious thoughts and musings in 140 characters or less. Though social networking addicts everywhere attempt to encapsulate their most prized and precious contemplations and deliver them to their loyal followers, the preponderance of tweets end up having the profundity of a bale of hay. Unless you want to be able to count your Twitter followers on one hand, here are a few tweets you may want to avoid composing:

Before letting those 140 characters loose into cyber world, just be sure to take a minute and think: do any of my 37 followers really give a rat’s ass that I just pulled an all-nighter to write my art history paper? If the answer is no, then please, spare us. Some things—in fact, most things—are better left unsaid.
