This is probably doesn't qualify because of rule 8: No speeling mistikes. Everybody makes a mistake once in a while!

I think its clear it wasn't a spelling mistake, if it was just one letter such as the usual TEH thats often written instead of THE I could agree, the poster was obviously impaired when making the post through drink most likely.
Therefore I think my nomination is valid and I expect it to be in the final vote.

(although it wont win, my money is on the... well you know what)

Yes, that's what he was trying to say. But I was using his figure of 27, which should earn me, if not a Stundie, an adomonition.

Well yes, it seemed obvious to me you had used the 27 figure...

Well, gosh almighty Jack - there was a whopping great two-letter mistake rather than the normally accepted one-letter mistake.

I'll agree to consider it if you can justify its eligibility in accordance with rule two:

Rule Two said:
For a nomination to be eligible, it must have a real and obvious link to conspiracy theories, but not exclusively 9/11 conspiracy theories.

As of next month I will make the rules broader, so that typos are covered by the same rules as spelling mistakes - unless there is a lot of irony involved.

And just to be clear Jack, I go through a great many nominations each month. You have absolutely no right to demand that your nomination makes it through to the final vote, just as nobody else here does either.

Please, feel free to nominate posts for the Stundies, but make sure they comply with the rules, and don't think you get any special priveleges.
 
I'd like to nominate Mr Rodriguez from this video (which incidentally appears to have been posted on You Tube by Mr Rodriguez himself):




01:48
Presenter: Did you know it was an explosion?
Mr Rodriguez: Oh yeah, for sure. For sure.

I will definately consider it, as it is well within the rules.

I would, however like to ask a question - this is in light of your recent post about what makes a quote 'more' Stundie-worthy than another (which incidentally I mostly agree with) - are you nominating this because it is especially 'Stundie-worthy', or are you nominating it out of a visceral "I can't believe he said that," gut reaction?

I suppose it could be a bit of both, to be honest. When I nominated it I had in mind Arkan's "loud noise does not equal bomb" essay.

Twas posted in the conspiracy sub forum, hence it must be conspiracy led.
Unless its been moved by the mods.
Its not a typo
its a post made with drink.
 
Rick Siegel stops by to let us know that...er...um...he can't tell us something...or something, and that French is not his strong suit.

It seems you have missed the pont. You can see the point in a recent video I still cannot post links to, or the story. You seemed to have missed one of the few points you can actually make.

In the meantime part ii of the exposing of their frauds will take place sometime tomorrow. You make faux passes at trying to get at the truth.

Ace decides to weigh in on the "spat" between Siegel ans Sophia:

Siegel's position is that Sophia is deliberately spreading disinformation, trying to promote "planes" and "thermite", when the evidence doesn't support it.

Apologies, when I checked earlier I was sure it was in politics. My mind is playing tricks on me.

I will consider it for next month, but to be honest with you it would have to be a very slow month for the Stundies for it to make it through. Spelling mistakes and typos are against the spirit of the Stundies (unless they contain an absolute bucket-load of sweet, sweet irony - and even then!)

And yes, this was a typo, regardless of whether he was drunk or not - something you repeatedly state without having any proof that he is drunk.

To me, this nomination is about as worthy for consideration for the Stundies as, say, your post I am replying to is - it contains typos, not spelling errors. That is to say, of course, that neither of them are particularly "Stundie-worthy"...they just contain typos.

It will be considered, but I doubt it will survive among the other nominations.

And from this point, consider that the spelling rule applies to typos as well. I will revise the rule next month.
 
I would think spelling errors (including typos) should only qualify if they occur in a post in which the poster is reprimanding or otherwise criticising another posting for making a spelling error or typo.

For example:

Ha ha, it's "horse", nor "hrose". Man how can you axpect anyone to beleive your arguments when you can't even spell proply?

If I had a nickel every time I saw a post like that in LC I'd have.... probably two dollars worth of nickels. Still that's a free $2. :)

On the LC forum Badmachine pipes up regarding the recently-released 3D crash simulation from Purdue University. I'll bold the section I wanna nominate:



I didn't realize the floors were several feet thick. If the floors were "reinforced" with concrete I wonder what the primary material was?

What exactly are you nominating HeyLeroy?
