He's using circular reasoning to prove that our argument refuting his claims is circular reasoning, while oblivious to the fact that his claims are themselves circular reasoning.

It's Stundilicious!

Ha! That's what they want you to think. After the event, wanna bet we'll have the last remaining creature in the universe crawling up out of the muck on some planetoid, and saying to whatever other creatures are there to listen,
Whoa dude! Did you see that? Like the whole universe doesn't just collapse like that in near free fall. That was a controlled demolition universe collapse if I ever saw one! Just look at this video... ignore the first 2.7 million years and check out the part at 2,700,012:11:32! You can clearly see a guy in a yellow hat out around the Van Allen Belt. And how come they conveeeeniently declassified Pluto as a planet almost exactly 8 years and 3 months before it happened? That's 99, man! 99 months!!! Freakin' coincidence? I don't think so!

The scary thing is that, being familiar with Lyte's work, I actually understand what he meant by that sentence.

He acknowledges all the evidence that a plane approached from the south of the Citgo and hit the Pentagon. Let's call this "the physical evidence".

However, he considers the physical evidence to have been faked as part of "the deception". Therefore, in his mind, it doesn't make sense to use the physical evidence to argue that "the deception" didn't happen.

As proof that the deception did happen, he points to his other "evidence" -- eyewitnesses pointing to an approach north of the Citgo. Let's call this "the eyewitness evidence".

So his sentence means: "It's circular reasoning to invalidate the eyewitness evidence by citing the physical evidence, because the eyewitness evidence proves that the physical evidence is part of the deception."

He's cracked.

i tried to destroy the universe once, i strapped buttered toast to my cats back and dropped her, rather than spinning rapidly to create a singularity she landed on her feet and proceeded to get buttered toast all over the living room

:D :D :D (I don't have a laughing dog, so three grinning green guys will have to do!)

Now, it's my turn to worry! I actually understood the hilarity of that paragraph.

For lurkers who think we're insane: Surely the universe would end if fate had to decide whether the cat would land on all fours or the toast would land butter-side down.

Methinks we're spending too much time with these guys!

I tried to destroy the universe, or at least our locale in it, by colliding Ultra-high-energy cosmic rays, or perhaps a Higgs boson, with Rosie O'Donnell. Unfortunately, as people who actually know physics kept telling me, nothing happened.

Foiled ! But if I can get my anti-matter bomb to work, then we have something to fear again... or for the first time!

Hmmm, if you're looking for doomsday devices, might I suggest getting in touch with Professor Farnsworth? He seems to have had made a number of them from what I recall...

I bet he can part with one and still be feared.

Wow I think I just broke through some thermocline layer of geekiness to be using quotes like that.


And I just used the word "thermocline!" There is no hope for me.:D

Not at all! The world needs more Futurama.

"I'm a connaisseur of jerks who pick fights in movie theaters, and you're the biggest I've ever seen."
"You should see me at funerals."

"You robots are a disgrace to this university. Whenever a fire alarm is pulled, it's Robot House. Whenever the campus liquor store is looted, Robot House. Whenever a human corpse is desecrated--"
"Now, I can explain that."

Ponder this, "An infinite number of rednecks shooting at road signs from pickups, over an infinite amount of time, will eventually recreate all the works of Shakespeare in braille."

Coincidentally, I just had an exchange yesterday with Hokulele on the modern variation of the line from whence the above is taken.... With Lyte and Malcolm doing their thing this month, it seems appropriate to quote it in this thread.

I've been saving that for one of my later sig changes.

Thanks Jackchit, now I have the honour of standing amongst all you adorable children in the great assembly hall of Stundiness. Can I be like that annoying kid who sings different lines to "Morning has broken" at the back?

That said, given your preference for 'standing tall against the man' I guess singing different lines to school hymns was a traditional practice for all young truthers who thought changing lyrics to well known school songs was on par to children surviving four years in auschwitz huh?
