one more from old1 in the same thread.

A thought for you about conspiracy theories. You ARE NOT PARANOID if there really is someone or something trying to get you!

Wow, I really like that one

Too ban he's just ripping off Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle.

ETA: Besides, a better line is, "When they really are out to get you, paranoia is just common sense!"

Mel Gibson is a THEM. In his movie, THE PATRIOT, his first words are, when weighing a chair, in the film, are: "9 pounds, eleven ounces...perfect." This was a message to many CIA operatives and the elite, that plans were going forward. The agency constantly controls Hollywoood. They used Mel all the time, when they want to sell IT BIG. So, look at Mel's movies from '90 onward, and you'll see how this is done. Cuz when the illuminati want to do it BIG, they always say, "get Mel Gibson."​

Incidentally, if anyone's seen the movie ... why does he weigh a chair? Is it a Freemason thing?

I've never weighed a chair.

a high school english teacher of mine had a poster that said "just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you"

Huh? Is this an example of Poe's law?

The American Patriot Friends Network appears to be the motherlode of stupid.

From 9/11 to gold fringe on flags, from government scientists creating HIV to the Oklahoma City bombing, from the USS Liberty to FEMA death camps, if it's dumb, they believe it.

They've just never met a stupid idea they didn't like.

The Wizard of Flippin' Oz is part of the Illuminati plot?

 

[Mr.D]

I know it isn't as outrageous as some of the other nominations, but for someone with a science background, its enough to make your eyes bleed.

I wonder if the anti-fluoridationists' realize that moreso^* than any other CT, they are their own worst enemy.





^* Yeah, I realize this might be a controversial statement, but who references papers that refute them as supporting evidence more than them?

 

[Dr Adequate]

For this one, you could ask a 12 year old.

CD's are very distinctive, easy to recognize, unless you have your head anatomically misplaced.

Yeah. The very very audible explosions are often a clue. Unless, indeed, you are using your ass-cheeks as ear-muffs, in which case you might be blissfully ignorant that there weren't any.

Homoeopaths.

the conservation of Captain Crunch's momentum

Suppose you had two boxes of Captain Crunch and you hold one in each hand with you arms spread as far as possible. Then you smash them together as hard as you can. Is the box in you left hand going to remain intact and crush the one in your right? Is the box in you right hand going to remain intact and crush the one in your left? NO! They are both going to get crushed. That is going to consume energy in both.

 

[Mr.D]

Homoeopaths.

Rolfe.

I stand (well, technically I'm reclining) corrected.

 

[Minadin]

Is there anything you could ingest which would not be toxic in large enough quantities?

Without surrounding context, that sounds reasonable.

If I take two identical objects and smash them together in an absolutely symmetrical fashion, both will likely suffer similar damage, and yes, energy will be used in the process.

Too bad we know what he was trying to refer to.

Too bad?

It makes a poor stundie quote unless you pull that referent in.

Here's a whopper:

I like my equation PE<SE

Anyone familiar with maths? Well, not Heiwa.

 

[Dave Rogers]

Less than ten posts, and already SteveAustin is demonstrating his mastery of the decibel scale.

I'm going to assume you mistyped that...twice, since a reduction of "two thirds" of 140 is a reduction of about 93, not a reduction of 4, which would bring it down to about 47DB.

One for the geeky.

Potential Energy is less than...standard error?

 

[dudalb]

I don;t think it is quite Stundie worthy, but Skeptic Guy's attempts in his Top Ten Conspiracy Theory thread in this section to prove that the 9/11 Truth is not a conspiracy theory are quite amusing.

I like it even more when they demonstrate their mastery and say nothing more when it falls flat on its face

I must be a geek, because I understand your issue with that.
