And you can do the same thing if you please.

Getting in on this a bit late, but this is a bit like saying that anyone who didn't see North Korea's attack coming Tuesday morning (Nov 23, 2010) is/was a complete moron. Don't forget that timing is also a big part of being shocked and surprised.

Making that sort of apples and oranges comparison also makes you a complete moron. We're talking about a work of fiction that is as subtle as a monster truck rally when it comes to relationship dynamics, not acts of war between countries that have been hostile to each other for over four decades (though now that I put it that way, yes, you would still be a moron if you were surprised by the attack yesterday morning).
The operative word there is "over", you cannot salvage your stupidity by being pedantic, people.

And my operative phrase, which you conveniently cut, was timing (re-added and bolded above). And was I surprised by the attack? Yes, I was. I was surprised that the North would do something so obviously stupid as firing into the middle of a war game that would guarantee immediate and heavy reprisal. Again, it's not the fact of the act, it's what's surrounding it. Context is important.
And, if you'd like something more apples to apples, then, who would have guessed that Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman were going to divorce when they did?
Carl-E:
Odin knew.
Because we're all morons.
Dliessmgg:
Because we're complete morons.

Not all of us, some of us are only partially complete.
It's like Edward Scissorhands, except with dickrbooms instead of scissors.
Or something.
