Mark Roberts Interview on Skeptic Zone

Yeah, that silly, dumb "qualifications" thing. :D

We've been through this with the TMers for years. The qualifications don't matter, really, if the premise is insane. If Albert Einstein came through here talking about hologram planes and CD because "it just doesn't look right", we'd question him 'til his hair straightened out. If Joe the Plumber comes in with something credible, we'll still question him, too. (It hasn't happened in 911 CT because all the claims are in-credible.)

In fact, over the five years I've been here, I've seen zero "debunkers" converted to CT, but a number of TMers sane-ified. How is that? In a forum that's perhaps the most tolerant of the myriad CT beliefs, and where the TM has thrown their best at us, not one debunker has heard the calling?
 
In my experience tour guides are pretty smart.

I'm just saying.

And he's done more than that. He posted one thread a few years back detailing some of the other jobs he's done.

And if you look up some of his threads on his recommended walking tours of NYC, his knowledge of its history is simply amazing. You don't develop a knowledge base like that without having something going on upstairs.

the inability to understand the following

Those and a huge amount of arguments from ignorance and incredulity.
(oh and that his mom won't give him rides to the library to actually READ real peer reviewed journal articles)

Didn't he get his degree in math or something?

I'd imagine the fact that he is a tour guide in NYC is a pretty smart profession considering how much money is spent there on tourism alone.
 
A good friend of mine, very smart fella, is a licensed tour guide in New York. He studied and prepped for the test for several months. Then did so again, having failed the first time. And...third time was the charm.

I don't recall exactly (it's been many years), but Gravy hit it out of the park first time at bat.

The term "tour guide" makes the job sound like something a 17-year-old fry cook could handle, riding around the tram at Disneyland. In fact, at least with regard to NYC, one must be a walking encyclopedia.

I posted something similar to this in the FM thread.

I think it's more an unhealthy obsessions with Gravy/Binglybert/Mark. I always liken his return to The Three Stooges doing "Slowly I Turn....".

I think he has an almost normal life for periods and then he'll be sitting in the Cozy Castle Tea Room in Everton and he'll overhear the waitress repeating an order, "One big breakfast with tea, one pork pie, one order of chips with gravy...".

"Gravy!!! Arggggh! He ruined my life, that bastage! Slowly I turn. Step by step. Inch by inch. ......" Then he checks his sock drawer, dusts off a pair, dons his intertube goggles and goes searching for old Gravy threads. I mean, he didn't wast any preliminaries this time. Just came in throwing big sweeping roundhouse right hooks, swinging for Mark's head.

Actually, if I hung out here more, that could become our new "I just spotted a PDOH sock" code. Just respond with.... "Niagara Falls! Slowly I turn. ..."

(And Paul, if you have a sense of humor, register as Nye Agra Fallz, next. It'll at least let me know that you still have a modicum of sanity in that monomaniacal brain.)

Yeah, no joke. First time I ever saw him, it was over at SLC, and he got his butt handed to him over there. Then he came here, and something about his sanity just went completely off the rails. It's almost as if you were a doctor looking at a patients EEG, and suddenly the waves take a literal pear shape... ;):D

Actually, it's been quite some time since our last pD'oh sock, hasn't it? And here I was thinking he'd finally gotten a life.
