March wants Stundie nominations

You do realise right, that the co2 concentration was thousands of times higher in the dino days than it is today, hence their plants being as big as houses, as co2 is plant food, thats why farmers ad it to tyeir greenhouses, it makes plants grow better. We barely have enough in the atmosohere for plants to conduct photosynthesis right now, we need much more of it.

I had to post this one as well, I don't really know if it's Stundie worthy, but definitely gave me a chuckle. A little backstory, koko, and the twoofie brigade, was trying to say that everyone involved in 9/11 should have known exactly what time all the events happened at. I created a scenario where one of their mothers died, and asked them if they would know when the ambulance came, when they carted her out, what time he got home, etc. This is his reply.

#155 Jango from that same thread:
The technology of today is different than the technology of 2001. And if you recall, the Secretary of Defense had a notes-taker taking hand-written notes on the day of 9/11, so the point of it's "outdated" apparently wasn't memo'ed out in 2001. Besides, I never said that NORAD was infallible. They showed their fallibleness on 9/11. But the point I'm driving home is that 'getting the right timeline' shouldn't and wouldn't be a problem for them, or any military organization. When something happens, people look at their watches.

I'm still in the military and can't remember the last time that I wore a watch. I'm not even sure if I still own one that's functional.

More to the point, when something happens, they look at the thing that's happening.
 
When I was in the military we used clocks and stopwatches, not watches.

Part of my specific job as an operations specialist required me to know what time it was down to the minute for everything I did so I may not be the best person to ask.

Quartermaster here. I kept the Deck Log. The Deck Log is a record of course and speed changes (plus depth on a submarine) and all significant events of the day. It was kept on a clipboard. One trick I used was to keep my wristwatch on my writing hand. It was quicker to flip my hand with the pen over to see the time than flipping the whole clipboard over. People would see my wristwatch on my right wrist and assume I was left-handed, until I demonstrated why I kept my wristwatch on my writing hand.

Anywho, when something happened (fire, flooding, etc) when I wasn't on watch the last thing I would do was to look at my watch to see what time it was.
 
I always wear a watch (even in the shower) and feel more than naked without it. However as an ABM in the Air Force when I was working, I always got the time from the console.
 
I wear a watch on two occasions: first, when I have to get up a specific time (it's easier to turn the light on on the watch than to get up, find my glasses and look at the clock - yeah, it's a personality quirk but it's mine) and second, once a week when I have to get a pack of kids back to their teacher by a specific time (I used to use my good old flip phone but it drowned and the iPhone isn't that good a watch). Mostly, though, being retired, I measure times in terms of "sky is light or dark" and "Monday".

I always wore a watch. I was a communications tech in Bradley infantry battalions, so I was frequently out in the motor pool when in garrison, and goodness knows where when we were on a FTX/CPX. Unless I was at the battalion commo shop in garrison, or working at the TOC when in the field, there just weren't many clocks to be found. I wore one for years after I got out of the Army, but I broke my last one about 10 years ago, and have been using my phone ever since.

How about a Captain Obvious statement of the year, an inanimate object has a higher chance of "surviving" impact than a human?
 
Never wear a watch but this discussion reminds me of the old joke, "A man with one clock always knows what time it is. A man with two is never sure."

And when my Dad died my first thought was not to make a call but to cry. I have no idea what time he died... one-something a.m. maybe

Well, the Mounties used to be called the NWMP. They told us it stood for North-West Mounted Police, but we know the truth, don't we?!?

Idea of collision? Like when two object accelerate, hit each other and in;
A) debunker logic turn into dust but keep on accelerating in same direction as they did earlier
Or
B) real life, their motion stops, and all their kinetic energy is used in breaking up their structure...

Now my daddy told me to stay out of pool rooms, but I thought that was for moral reasons and not to avoid the flying shards of billiard balls that had fragmented upon impact! I never realized the game was that exciting!
