February Stundie nominations

I am still trying to get past the fact that the sun, even if only 3 million miles away, is travelling many, many times earth's escape velocity to orbit the earth once a day...

What rock do these ****-knuckles crawl out from under??
 
Why is this a Stundie?


It was posted in the same thread that TSR linked to......
.
... a thread in which he then made several replies which he didn't apparently have time to do, even after trying to move the goalposts.

"Its going to be too difficult for you to understand,
Your the guy that doesn't believe an angle is a straight line with a bend in it."


Emphasis mine. You should read that thread, an excercise in futility by the explainers and profound ignorance from this guy in particular.
 
I just realized that almost all your posts to date, Erock, have been Stundie nominations.

Now I'm not complaining. I like what you've found so far.
 
Another gem by our own Anders Lindman
My theory is that no controlled demolition was needed and that the WTC towers were designed to pancake like they did in the case of a severe earthquake for safety reasons (it wouldn't be good risk having tall skyscrapers like that falling like dominoes sideways into Manhattan).



:eek:

I like to give credit to daftness:)

Addendum to that nomination...

Behold - this is worthy of a large haddock slapped to the forehead:

"A straight line
It as an angle of 0 degree if its one way
It as an angle of 180 degrees if its to ways
And a angle of 360 degrees if it goes a complete circle."

Wow! 41 pages of people trying to explain to complete morons why we only see one side of the Moon.

The stupid... the stupid...
 
I'd love to hear how they are faking these pendulums all over the world. I've seen two myself.

A little true story:

We had finished the curriculum for the semester in high school physics early, so as a reward we spent the last lesson (90 minutes plus a little extra) building a Foucault pendulum.
We let it swing for maybe 45 minutes, and indeed it had rotated somewhat during the time. We didn't measure exactly, but what we saw was probably close to the, say, 10-12 degrees we expected, and everybody was happy. Except me. I asked the teacher quietly if the pendulum should not have rotated clockwise, and he whispered back "yes, but don't tell the others!"

So I guess my teacher was part of the Jesuit conspiracy, and I was hushed by his authority

:D


(Why did our pendulum rotate the wrong direction? I don't know for sure. For the longest time I suspected torsion in the wire, movement of air in the room, or some effects by the gallow from which we hung it - I remember that we weren't able to fix it as stably as we wanted and that it moved a little with every swing. My favourite explanation however is that we started the pendulum incorrectly by moving the ball a couple of meters away from center, holding still a little, and then release. I am certain with gave it angular momentum that way in the direction of earth's movement, or maybe even a little more by accident. When the amplitude diminished, the angular momentum converted to higher angular velocity, making the pendulum rotated ahead of the planet. I think the right way to start a F.P. is to let it rest dead center and then knock it with a second ball, like billard)

Anders Lindman goes on to "explain" his "thinking":

Anders Lindman said:
The safety design of making skyscrapers collapse straight down would be something that would be kept hidden from the public in order to not alarm people.

Because the alternative, which according to him would mean letting people believe that

wouldn't alarm people?

mehmetin explains that inventing fiction that isn't totally impossible results in finding absolute truth:

...
Four your information: My creativity is limited to the possible facts. The impossible theories are not mine. I know, that reduces my creativity! But it results in 100% true events.
 
Nominated for irony above and beyond the call of duty (or is that hyperbole?)
I'd add to that they should do it in public, not behind closed doors.

Who knows what lies are being spread when these determinations of guilt are being made? They hide in shame while making these decisions and for good reason I'm sure.

It just creates more drama I suppose. The forum seems to thrive on it.

Adversaries such as jargon buster and jobo will use many assorted tricks in seeking to "argue" including false assertions, false assumptions, false insertions, misrepresentation, distortion, fallacies, etc.

Psychological tools may include usage of Neruo-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and other psychological games to induce an emotional reaction. Typically, it will take the form of some sort of abusive language including belittlement, cursing, raising the voice, etc.

On a forum????
 
I think I do in fact get to define the meaning of the words I myself write, as long as those meanings are legitimate English meanings

I have to say that these Amanda Knox threads puzzle me. In that post, he links to a google search of posts on a site called perugiamurderfile.org. What's up with this stuff?

No, no, no, Earth is round. Round like a pancake :D
You know, from the side, a pancake could look a bit like a saucer or ... dare I say blimp?
