February Stundie Nominations

[jaydeehess]

OK, that's GOTTA be a finalist...

Finalist, yes, but its such a common theme among the uneducated that its impact gets watered down.
IMO

 

[TSR]

TSR, just trying to determine how you manage to stay upright on those spindly legs.

.
Them "spindly" legs would squeeze the air right out of you if were lucky enough to have them wrapped around ....



Okay, my Dad reads this forum, and doesn't need that image

Ummm love ya Daddy, this is all in fun, right? You know I'm just playing <oh damn, the phone is ringing>

In defense of my nomination, it's refreshing to see such a middle finger to rationalism. It's not unlike hearing a holoden say, "Y'know what? I really f$&@n' hate Jews." You know exactly where they stand....

yeah, it was the simple, bald-faced FU to evidence that struck me.

Ok, point taken, it was a particularily up front and vociferous proclamation that facts and evidence and rational thought are unwelcome by the author.

Whoa, be a nice girl and please note the ring on my left hand.

Especially given the good chance that I am old enough to have been in school with your Dad. (So its probably not an image you really want to contemplate either )

Sorry -- I'm just kind of vain about my legs. They go from here all the way to there and I'm *still* prettier than Legolas

So there.

Ah Red Ibis, you don't ever disappoint:

In response to this "9-11 Truth is getting smaller every year. how many folks do u think will show up at GZ this September 11th? maybe 200?"

Red sez:

"That's hardly the barometer by which to judge people's interest in studying the fraud and cover-up of the official story."

Public demosntations are "hardly" the way one show's one's interest.

/it is the "hardly" that gets me, I guess. I imagine it being said in the same accent as Homer Simpson's cousin who imitates millionaires at cocktail parties.

Might be true if the jury really is out ... of their minds.

As far as earthquakes being caused by other than natural means, the jury is out on whether or not this is possible.

 

[Alferd_Packer]

An oldie, but a goodie.

Jet fuel doesn't cause explosions.

this claim has made the stundies before, but I can't help it if it is a favorite of mine

Stanley Kubrick faked the moon landings for NASA and used his movie "The Shining" to confess his role in the plot..

(note, found via Balloon Juice, not the NR)

:laughing dog goes here:

So The Shining, by Stephen King, proves that Stanley Kubrik staged the lunar landings for NASA because and wanted to confess his sins?

Too priceless.

 

[Rolfe]

I know this isn't eligible, because it isn't a CT, but I thought you'd like the amusement factor anyway.

Background. The Atheist thinks all pet-owning should be banned, and all pets killed. One of his reasons is that cats are the definitive host of a parasite (Toxoplasma gondii) which (rarely) causes foetal damage in humans.

I suggested that if the problem was seen as serious enough, a vaccine could be developed. (It's a more serious problem in sheep, and there is a very effective sheep vaccine.) TA would rather kill all cats, so....

Absurd.

Why did humans spend so much money on eliminating smallpox when a perfectly efficacious vaccine exists?

Er, the smallpox virus was eliminated because a good vaccine exists.

Rolfe.

 

[Toke]

Er, the smallpox virus was eliminated because a good vaccine exists.

That one is cute.

King wrote the book and both he and Kubrick wrote the screenplay. Kubrick directed the movie.

Just what in this movie is a confession to Apollo fakery though?????

BTW, I was in Bergen for 4 days way back in 1974. Lovely city.

doesn't have to be a CT does it? A simple balls up misunderstanding of science of any kind qualifies I believe. It fits that description.

Hmmm, the greatest carrier of diseases infectious to humans and the greatest threat as far as commincating said diseases to humans are ,,, other humans. Self imposed genocide seems the obvious solution.

Er, the smallpox virus was eliminated because a good vaccine exists.

Rolfe.

,,,,,,,,,IOW smallpox was eliminated by the widespread deployment of an effective vaccine.

Which should cause all intelligent persons to shake their heads at the stunning idiocy of the poster's statement.

IIRC, there is a scene where the little boy is playing on the floor and he senses something and he stands up. On his shirt it a rocket and the words "Apollo 11". The boy then walks to room 237. the distance from the Earth to the moon is 237,000 miles. In this room people hallucinate so nothing there is "real".

There may be more but it's been a long time since I've seen the movie and heard that CT.

Well, that sounds completely plausible to me.
