Another month is here. Another month to nominate Stundies. Post the best, funniest abortions of logic and reason that relate to Conspiracy Theories here. Don't forget links to the source.

Re: Find Elie's tattoo! Win big money.

I share skeptical's reservations. I'm scared you're setting yourselves up for a fall here. Even if you proved that Elie has no tattoo? What effect is that going to have? If you think it's likely to convince folk try reading this thread:

And those are folk who call themselves skeptics! Who believe there is tons of documentation and blueprints of the death camps.

I urge caution.

After getting more familiar with Holocaust Deniers I realize this might be mundane, but I love the reference to JREF.

I nominate DOC for the stundies, based on the follwoing quote:

It's been tossed into AAH.


But wow.


For those of you who are unfamiliar, DOC loves arguments from authority and arguments from post count. He uses them ad-nauseum, despite the nature of the fallacies being explained to him. Repeatedly.

For examples, peruse this thread. (currently at a whopping 342 pages)


This really deserves to make the finals.
 
Umm.... Damn. I thought it was still for stunningly illogical/humurously inane posts.



When did we start restricting it to conspiracies?
 
Ah, W.D.Clinger has a better one, but since I already cut / pasted, here's another. Because what role could gravity play in buildings falling ... down.

I always figured that's why it's here in CT, and not General or Humour or something...

Yes, I know. I read that after your previous post.

My question was relating more to the fact that I have no recollection of that detail being there in the past.

Which doesn't mean that it hasn't always been this way, merely that I don't remember it always being this way.

Likelihood: I am as mistaken as I was when I was a kid and thought deer hibernated, because it seemed like it in Bambi.



Oh well. Can we let it in anyways, on account of the sheer self-unawareness of it?

Please? :blush:

Come on, there are physicists talking about the four basic forces in the universe, and gravity is the weakest.
Right?
 
To add to W.D. Clinger's nomination.
From our good ol friend jam.

"Gravity is an incredibly weak force and could not have accounted for the destruction of the lower 80 floors of the the South Tower and the lower 95 floors of the North by the small fraction of floors above them."

Someone better tell NASA that they are using WAY too much fuel to launch those space shuttles!!

It would, of course, be entirely in keeping with the subject matter of the forum if you decided that your recollection is entirely correct, and that there's a conspiracy to retroactively edit all previous posts related in any way to the Stundies so as to eliminate all previous winners or voting choices that weren't conspiracy-based, just to discredit you personally ;).

Sadly, it probably wouldn't be the first time.

This response is even more laughable than your last. It appears that you don't know the difference between a change in acceleration, from a higher positive acceleration to a lower positive acceleration, from a deceleration.

There is no deceleration or visible jolt in that graph, only less positive acceleration at times. Although it varies, the acceleration remains positive at all times. To have an impulsive load and amplification, which is being called a jolt here, the upper section would need to decelerate and lose velocity. The fact that the acceleration is always positive shows the upper section is always gaining velocity, thus there was no impulsive load.

Anyone who understands what impulsive loading is could not possibly take these comments of yours seriously, as your comments here aren't just wrong, they are actually ignorant.
