September Stundie Nominations

[AaronMic22]

Well, just to further add to the pile of Anders related material...


There I was, trying to explain about safety factors (Anders had claimed varying figures for the tower of between 3 and 10) when he dropped this clanger (my emphasis):

The US gubmint is apparently taking the rodent problem seriously:

Welcome to America. You know what? These americans have super advanced spy satellites that can keep track of all the rodents in this world? They have all security systems far more advanced that you can read in sci-fi novels. And even then they somehow could not track down highly trained mountain men? Seriously how do you manage to swallow this?
And please please tell me what were the people inside pentagon doing ? Busy surfing adult sites? Flirting online?

More people that think 24 is real.

 

[Rolfe]

Oh, I have clients that are like that all the time. Unlike Anders, however, they're paying me so we do tend to humour them a bit more.

Ahem.... [cough]

Rolfe.

 

[Disbelief]

Here's a new analysis for no planers:

This theory is actualy quit new to me and i can support it a bit (amazing theory)

I am a musical sound technician and the screams are not realistic. You hear no real commotion before the plane hits (like no one suspected the plane was gonna hit)

[Alareth]

anders lindman must be trolling the forum.
Nobody could be so idiotic unless it was deliberate.

I submit the entire body of Malcolm Kirkman's posting history as contrary evidence.

 

[Horatius]

I submit the entire body of Malcolm Kirkman's posting history as contrary evidence.

That's the problem with Poe's law: having accepted that there are actually people out there who truly believe something like the "No Planes" theory, there's really nothing so stupid that you can't believe that someone, somewhere actually believes it.

 

[Sword_Of_Truth]

Little Grey Rabbit presents Shrodingers Landing Gear, it's both severely damaged and undamaged at the same time:

I am just concerned that the while the metal of the strut seems to have been sheared, neither the rubber has been blown off or set on fire by the fireball.

 

[Sword_Of_Truth]

According to Anders Lindman and Little Grey Rabbit, finding objects outside, that were inside an aircraft prior to a near supersonic speed crash is somehow suspicious:

this landing wheel, since there seems to be no dispute that it was securely retracted inside the aircraft.

Whoa! Now, THAT's suspicious imo.

 

[Architect]

Ahem.... [cough]

Rolfe.

Nah, trust me. We had someone last year was convinced that that construction costs for a house would be about £700/m2 because they'd read it on the internet and I've got a local authority client who until recently thought they could repair all the bguildings in their town centre for £2.5m (they could afford to do 1).

 

[Dave Rogers]

I rather like this one, from one of our newer contenders:

If you believe the death and destruction committed on 9/11 can be pulled off by a few people on the outside, then one would have to think that a black op executed from the inside would be much easier to pull off.

Amazing, then, how none of the truthers have yet managed to come up with a possible inside job that doesn't require nonexistent technology, invisible operatives and major violations of the laws of physics.

Well, I was kinda meaning, if we got some plans, you might get paid....

Rolfe.

 

[Dave Rogers]

OK, Randi owes Sword of Truth a million dollars.

If we push Ander's and Rabbit's buttons a thousand times, a stundie nomination will pop out.

And then, in the very next post:

Those who carried out the 9/11 Attack were control freaks of monstrous proportions. Which means that they wanted to control as FEW things as possible.

[carlitos]

It's probably not a winner, but the "Go do some research" part is unintentionally ironic.

But the no plane part is just a small part of it. Did you for example know that nuclear weapons are a hoax? I guess not. Go do some research.

I'm just throwing out some hypotheses. I'm too lazy to do much research myself.

 

[AaronMic22]

Can we start guessing how old Anders is chronologically and mentally? Or is that considered a personal attack?

Then again, I don't think boxes of rocks have person status.

 

[Horatius]

Free Land as a Man?

 

[Stacko]

A hat tip to Carlitos for pointing this out in the thread.

If you are an American and wish to see that Edict, and you cannot find it on the Internet, then GOOGLE 'Trading With The Enemy Act of 1917' and, when reading it, delete Section 5. That is what Roosevelt did.

 

[AaronMic22]

A hat tip to Carlitos for pointing this out in the thread.

He deleted section 5? ...

 

[Stacko]

He deleted section 5? ...

I was going more for the Roosevelt used google interpretation.

 

[carlitos]

That was only after he couldn't find it on the internet.
