March wants Stundie nominations

LBJ Nukes

Oh my. Scroll down a bit further to read about " the Gulf of Tomkin" as well.


Journalists on the campaign trail saw (Lyndon B.) Johnson drunkenly board a plane armed with nuclear weapons and then accidentally drop them on the United States. Luckily, by the grace of God, they did not go off. None of this was reported, while newspapers editors worked in overdrive to portray Goldwater as eager to push the button.

There's so much wrong in the passage I am not sure where to begin.
 
"The gulf of Tomkin" -- that's the incident where the cake was a lie?
 
Here's a nominee from YT in the Denies-Established-Science category: CNN911Fakes, who dismissed the concept of the partial pressure of gasses (Dalton's Law) - which he had apparently never heard of until I tried to explain to him why 4 psi of oxygen is a life sustaining atmosphere.

I'll leave off the lead-up and skip straight to the fun part.

CNN911Fakes:

The truth is, any ambient air molecule, regardless of kind, is pushing on your skin at the same pressure as all the rest of the ambient air molecules.

To say that the oxygen pressure at sea level is 3 psi because oxygen makes up 21% of the ambient air is what is twisted and just plain wrong. Every oxygen molecule pressing against you is being pressed there by all of the rest of the ambient air molecules.

The complete exchange is in the comments section in the YT video "Moon Hoax Yes" (I can't post links yet - I'm more of a lurker.)

Of course, this is also one of the same guys who insists that rockets can't work in space because they have a "big honking hole" at the back, so the vacuum of space would suck the propellants out before they could ignite.

The burn......

Welcome N_400. And please nominate the "big honking hole"post too if you can. I think that one may be a winner!

Seconded! I can sort of understand not getting partial pressures, but for this, he'd have to deny the existence of valves!

And here you go.

Actually, it's a stundie goldmine:
First, the vacuum of space is a perfect insulator; no sparks are possible. Until 2 electrodes touch in the vacuum of space, no current can pass between them and, when they do touch, they merely close the circuit without a spark. For those skeptics out there, look up the details of a mercury switch and find out why it doesn't spark!

Yup, rockets operate in the same way as the internal combustion engine, however, chemistry and hypergolic fuel does not work.
