May 2007 Stundie Nominations

That well known climate scientist Michael Crichton managed to write an entire silly book based on that premise, and get invited to speak before US senators on the subject.

But then, all his books are silly anyway.

It had a really bad ending, too. Like he just got tired of writing it and quit.

I was disappointed with the ending too.

I felt he spent way too much time with the arrogant, self-righteous but tragically naive eco-activist Hollywood actor who gets eaten by cannibals. The total non-event tsunami was also a let down. However the whole sequence in Antarctica was well done IMHO. Also, I learned more about jellyfish paralysis than I had ever wanted to know.





On the subject of Stundies, this month looks like it's going to be a very tough decision. Do Stundie worthy statements always go up, both in volume and humor value, in the (Northern Hemisphere) summer months?

It's certainly one area where the truth movement seems to be "gaining momentum".

Our very own israelside has some interesting ideas about thermite/thermate:

israelside said:
so you're saying its impossible to glue thermate to a column and melt it enough to weaken it? if not completely melt it? if you can then thats what i mean by my statement!

Linky linky.

With their superior tactic of not being organized, which makes them stronger, of course they're "gaining momentum."
 
Surprisingly no one has nominated this yet so I thought I better:

I am 10 times more interesting than you dude, why is this forum only filled with hardend people like yourself? I'v been on here for a few months now and no one has agreed with my hardly at all...funny

Galileo was wrong!

His argument doesn't go against Galileo and his falling body experiment demonstrating that mass does not have an effect on acceleration.

If I was at all interested in nominating a Stundie then I would nominate you for the above.

You are, of course, free to do so. We accept "debunker" or "JREFer" nominees too.

Any chance we'll get to see a May Stundie debunking thread? The April one was kind of a bust, I think.

I need to get me some of that glue. It would come in real handy next time I eat my Dad's enchiladas.

People forget that glue in the days of yore was considerably stronger than it is today. It had to be, what with all the built-in thermate/thermal insulation that was glued to structural steel before the draconic building code revisions of the 70's. Not that having all that superglue around the job site didn't create some safety issues...

That's the Man getting you down.

No more asbestos insulation.
No more thermate insulation.
Don't even think of getting C4 coated rebar now-a-days.


Ahh for the good old days.

Follow the link and read EugeneAxeman's post. He is claiming that the buildings should have fallen at different rates.
EugeneAxeMan said:
In all of the footage I've seen, the building falls apart - ejecting huge volumes of material outward and in a very smooth fashion. Each tower collapsed at very near the same rate, even though the south tower was being acted upon by three times the mass. The physics just does not work out when you plug in values for the variables.

Now if you had both buildings rigged with the same type of demolition material, on the same timed sequence, then you could get different masses to fall at the same rate. But we do not wish to make that leap in assumption. So we just accept the NIST report, and assume that they modelled the buildings accurately.

Eugene clearly doesn't get it. Stundie all the way.

Clear cut Stundie. Thus making your counter Stundie, a counter-counter Stundie. Your have made a double Stundie. I offer up your nemesis in this case, is near. Is it close to, or near; or is near, not exactly the same. I am not sure but it is nearly always a Stundie when someone tells us how a Stundie is not one.

A Stundie qualified on two levels, but then I am only a poor fact mongering engineer with a common masters degree. But I doubt an engineer is needed to see what is so obvious to others. (it may be a engineering grade Stundie; too technical and not open to opinions)
 
Teh Stundie himself showing why we honor his minions with an award bearing his name -

And my theory still stand as well......Engineers for truth huge *** maths problem was beyond my scope and never took into account various things but it added up to my theory! I'm not a shamed to admit it, but the funny things is not a single debonker can show any math which shows how the buildings collapse.

For those who don't know, E4T over at the SLC forums threw out this long complicated math problem, and within seconds P-Doh had claimed to have read it and gave it thumbs up. 21 pages later, E4T came out and said "Ha! Fooled you! I just made the whole thing up! SUCKERS!!!" And Twoofers around the world STFU with the quickness.

That thread can be found he-yah

Who's this dark horse coming in on the final furlong.

Tunaman on boards.ie's conspiracy theories forum explains why the NWO self confess so frequently (ie "pull it", "the missile that hit the pentagon") and leave so much evidence in plain sight;

tunaman said:
The conclusion being that all this powerful evidence which was deliberately left for people to find, was in order to create a situation where so many people were incriminated, that everybody had to deny everything.
Click to expand...

See? They left all this evidence around to make so many people guilty everyone had to cover it up. See if you want to create a massive criminal conspiracy, include everyone, and leave evidence scattered around the place, that'll work.

No er wait.....

What?

It's a good un, but this month has been a banner stundie month I cannot see it escaping the field.

I love watching you guys twisting yourselves in logical knots trying to justify the indefensible just because old Billy Rae decides to contradict you. Let's do facts shall we....

Fact 1. Post #282, where EugenAxeman is called out by Dave Rogers on the basis of Galileo's experiment that demonstrated that a more massive body falling under gravity does not accelerate faster.

Fact 2. EugeneAxman is arguing on the fact that a greater mass would have more destructive power to fall faster through the remaining structure he is NOT invoking Galileo!

Fact 3. I propose that Dave Rogers invoking of the Galileo experiment is in itself Stundie worthy.

It's all very well being technical but if the red mist descends and clouds your clarity of thought every time someone contradicts you then you will suck at applying your knowledge logically.
 
We need a new award for rampant paranoia, because I'm not sure this is Stundie material, but I had to post it.

Sleepy (over at LCF) has been particularly bat-droppings loonytunes this week, but this offering asking if LCFers were going to turn him in once the glorious 4th reich NWO march coming soon to a city near you (JREFers, remember to dry clean your uniforms) is a gem.

So, I officially nominate this:

I believe the MARK of the NWO will be an RFID Microchip with the earth being looked over by the all seeing eye of the pyamid, the same on the back of the $1 bill. I believe it will have a triple 6 in it.
