January (2010) Stundie Finals

[Travis]

So, the esteemed winner from December capped out last year with a true howler. Here it is for those that wish to revisit the hilarity:

When no one else will lead, the people will listen to the loudest idiot. I have every intention, of being that idiot.​

Awesome (did anyone ever actually order any t-shirts?)

So here's the virtual award:

But on to what we've all been waiting for: the best from January!

1) Whoever heard of burning fuel? Sounds like magic to me. lol

Its like fire ****. You must have 3 things to have fire.

Heat, oxygen, and fuel. Remove any ONE of the items, and there is no fire.

You probably need something to burn too so make that four items. lol

*****
2) Good news everybody: genocidal manics are no longer bloodthirsty psychopaths. Now if only we can get "Obsessive Sociopaths" reclassified as "Dedicated Detached Analysts."

If Hitler was a bloodthirsty psychopath don't you think at least someone would have noticed?

I'm guessing pretty much all of Eastern Europe noticed but apparently they don't count.
*****
3) The bad news is the Nazis were amongst the first to campaign against smoking, the good news is that no one is even suggesting there be "Smoking Concentration Camps."

Surgeon General C. Everett Koop
affected military attire and his
successors have followed suit. The
contemporary anti-smoking sign is
identically coloured and equally
ubiquitous as was the swastika of the
Third Reich.

*****
4) It seems Greenpeace is leaving a heck of a lot of it's agenda off it's webpage.

The Green Loons spread into every locale and none of us will escape Mother Earth worship. Taxes will rise and government will officiate all Mother Earth agendas including water rationing, electricity monitoring, national ID, Muslim call to prayer, a global tax, population control, GPS monitoring on autombiles, a chip on each person, cellphone monitoring with chip inclusion, cameras on every street corner, and health centers in every county to ensure pregnancy rates are within mandate, and private radio or TV stations are prohibited.

*****
5) Bomb, explosive; they're the same thing right? I mean I wouldn't want to be "embracing ignorance."

GET A DICTIONARY. CO2 under the right circumstances, ie PRESSURE, becomes an explosive according to the ENGLISH DEFINITION OF EXPLOSIVE.

Give it up. It is not even on topic. You were provided the ENGLISH DEFINITION. You ignored it. That is EMBRACING IGNORANCE.

*****
6) Of course it isn't proof of nuclear bombs. It's proof that the US had a huge plane that can lift a 15,000 ton conventional bomb. Why have they kept this mega plane a secret!?!

The damage to Hiroshima is not proof of nuclear bombs.

*****
7) You cannot start with ideas. That's unphilosophical.

You cannot start from facts. That's unscientific.
You've got to start with a thesis. Make it the best you can. Then test it against the facts you have.

*****
8) I'll see their "peer reviewed videos" and raise them a "peer reviewed bathroom wall limerick" about how getting your number of followers up isn't what's really important.

Whats the big deal about peer reviewed papers. We have our peer reviewed videos and a lot more evidence in that department than the debunkers.

[snip]

And people don't realize how easy it is to get on our lists. Look at the petition. What about Bernard Villiem from France with a degree in pre-history and anthropology or Christian Hostettler an Electrical Auttomation consultant from Australia. When people find out how easy it is to sign up our numbers will climb rapidly and we will reach 2,000 in no time.

*****
9) I'm calling this person a liar. They've clearly never looked at any map that didn't include a special inset for the food court.

It's been a long time since I last looked at the United States map but isn't Alaska like somewhat close to California?

Last week there was even though a minor earthquake from California it just makes you wonder since the HAARP place in Alaska in the Alaska state is right next to some states.

Also where is Haiti located? on the east siste of North America or the western side of North America?

*****
10) If the Patriot Act can time travel does it have to adhere to TimeCop rules and never touch itself? Will Congressional Law destroying robot assassins be far behind and if so will they be Austrian or Summer Glau? Please let it be Summer Glau's.

Yeh ok Recon, why dont you tell us just why the Bush administration passed the patriot act just 6 months before all 3 planes flew into our controlled air space, and in that patriot act there was a rulling to stop all Air force Fighter jets from emmediat response to any plane that flew off course??

*****
11) Unfortunately this "unbroken chain of hypothesizing" is in a loop which is why my "finitely long cable & pulley system of speculation" is far superior.

When you have located the bakeries at Birkenau mr Ford, i will put myself in the stocks and you can throw rotting vegetables at me all day long. Until then, I think that you will have to admit that there is an an unbroken chain of hypothesising here that has revealed surprisingly rich results.

*****
12) Isn't it comforting to know that nobody that wasn't a spy leaked any info?

The probability of a secret remaining a secret is proportional to the inverse square of the number of people with knowlege of that secret.

That didn't work with the Manhattan Project did it?

Thousands worked on that project and it was not leaked.

There are about 6 named here.

http://www.smithsonianmag.com/histor...Bomb Secrets

They were spies, leaking secrets is their job.

Did anyone involved in the Manhattan project, who wasn't a spy, leak secrets about it?

*****
13) This would be the first time anyone ever joined up with Scientology based on "evidence." Perhaps it's because of the "physchobabble."

your so stuck on evidence obviously you have no faith in anything you probably just another tom cruise follower and all your scientific physchobabble

*****
14) Somebody ought to tell NASA that Challenger couldn't have blown up from brittle O-rings since it had never happened previously.

The problem with that is that NIST admits there is no precedent for a highriser fully collapsing due to fire. This means that their hypothesis is in violation of Occam's Razor.

*****
15) Remember when Springfield Nuclear Power Plant thought it was having a meltdown and everyone just lost their ****? Well, that is how things should be according this great mind:

A real act of terrorism, not a FF event will be easy to identify, there will be total chaos and an overreaction of unbelievable scope.

You will not see the orderly, rehearsed reaction and the calm demeanor with which they seem so capable of. A true act of terrorism would have them running around like chickens with their heads cut off and then the truth will be told whether or not there is a communication sharing problem within their system.

*****
16) Everyone knows the first thing you do when you invent a secret weapon is insert their likeness into video games. That's on page 37 of the NWO For Dummies guidebook.

Note: the list below is shown as a compendium of future weapons, I believe in order to mask the fact that these weapons are already in existence. Clever disguise? YES or NOT.

(List)

The 'PPC - Particle Projection Cannon' may be the Star-Wars device laser which was used in both the Wurr building Oklahoma explosion and for buildings 1& 2, WTC on 9/11.
Thermite was also used as a distraction, particularly to pull down Building 7. Many other distractions/red herrings such as 'no-planers,' other PSYOPS.

*****
17) So we've been using anti-gravity machines since 1783?

If you think water does not have anti gravity properties ask your self how tons of it can hang in our atmosphere.

*****
18) Note: he is talking about being banned from the David Icke Forums.

Quite basically my experience shows me that up to 70% of the active posters on any board are actually agents of some form.

*****
19) Yes, you, on your own, invented the idea of before/after pictures of key landmarks.

Is CNN monitoring this thread?

They just showed comparative photos of the National Palace before and after.

They showed it a few minutes after I posted my posts with regard to the Palace.

*****
20) Yes, laziness that's condoned through mass use is the best kind of laziness. If only there were an idiom about this fallacy?

you should base the content by the title, that's what most people do.

So there you have it folks. January was super awesome because of your great efforts to track down and nominate the best.

 

[timhau]

January was super awesome because of your great efforts to track down and nominate the best.

Yes, January certainly was super awesome. Since there can only be one winner, I have made it a policy to vote for only one. Reading through them in order, I thought 2 had to be it for sure, but then I got to 8, 9, and 12, and now I need some time to decide. In a less awesome month, 11 and 14 could be winners too.

 

[TruthersLie]

With so many classics there it is realllllllly hard to pick a single one...

 

[J. Wellington Wimpy]

#2, #6, #7 & #17.

 

[240-185]

This month brought a lot of stundies.

The best: from 5 to 9, and from 15 to 20.

 

[Dave Rogers]

I have to rule out #9, because the poster was at least sufficiently self-aware to understand that he didn't know where Haiti is. A true Stundie contender would have maintained that it was just off the coast of California, and that all maps showing otherwise were faked. And I didn't vote for #11 either, on the grounds that holocaust deniers should never win an award for anything, even an insulting one.

#7 is pure gold. I voted for a few, but I think that's my favourite.

Dave

 

[twinstead]

The list started slow for me, but soon cascaded into a roaring crescendo of delightful stupid.

 

[Rolfe]

Vote 7! Vote 7!! Vote 7!!!!

Rolfe.

 

[timhau]

12 has only 2 votes?

 

[Brainache]

I voted for 20.

Just because I thought it was well packaged. Isn't that what most people do?

 

[Rogue1stclass]

I had to go with 16 because of the idea of time traveling Clan 'mechs appearing to blow down buildings.

I also love the idea that weapons in game are real. I totally want a Ripper from Dead Space.

 

[fezzic]

After going over the list and narrowing it down, I pivoted and thought that #7 was the one.

On what does one base a thesis --I would think theory -- on if not facts that need explanation?

 

[Horatius]

On what does one base a thesis --I would think theory -- on if not facts that need explanation?

Explanations that need justification.

 

[timhau]

On what does one base a thesis --I would think theory -- on if not facts that need explanation?

Why, and unbroken chain of hypothesizing, of course.

 

[EventHorizon]

#14 for having no idea what Occam's Razor is.

#18 and #19 for extreme paranoia.

#17 for just plain stupid.

 

[dudalb]

I went with #2,#7 and#6. They struck me as being all perfect storms of stupidity,ignorance, and general idiocy.

 

[Rolfe]

I have to say I really liked 9, 17 and 20.

However....

GO 7 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Guess who I nominated?)

Rolfe.

 

[Dog Town]

C'mon 14!

ETA: I would have liked to see Bill Smith, with his rubber tires through molten steel, also my nomination!
What can I say? I'm greedy...

 

[Ysidro]

#7 is so Stundielicious the Stundies should be renamed after the person who was quoted!

As good as last months?
