NISTian black boxes - Oh, let me count the ways

From Beyond the Futon

Max Photon is rolling over in his futon. Save us with something poetic Max.



Nonscience

By: Max Photon

Can't you all see
That mathematical modeling
Of the WTCs
Is but for coddling
Those who are waddling
Away from reality?

Finite element analysis
Of overdriven systems
Is mental paralysis
Or at best toddling
In the face of such
Ambiguous complexity.

Max, rwgwinn et al. must face the facts!
FEA is most drear
Its cost is too dear
Its results unclear
Even Bazant
Cant
Stand to use it
And is prone to disabuse it!

P.S. I got this info from the estimable professor himself!

(With apologies to Ogden Nash)


There is a term for those obstinate, agenda-driven folk who can't understand, or simply ignore, the effects of extensive fires;
They are called, Conspiracy Liars.
They don't much like reason, and they lack evidence.
Frankly, they enjoy making no sense.
One problem that causes them to rack what passes for their brains
Is what to make of those damned, #$&*%^, inconvenient planes!
Colorful crackpots have tried to vanish them away with claims of video fakery,
Which, for sheer stupidity, is take-the-cakery.
Stick with the thermite, dear Maxie, for while it is true
That it's a silly myth, so are you!

The Firefly

For you, Frank:

The firefly's flame
Is something for which science has no name.
I can think of nothing eerier
Than flying around with an unidentified glow on a person's posterior.

--Ogden Nash
 
You guys are strictly amateur. For a real 911 poem, look here.


If you can't handle more than 4 lines of fine art at a time, you can settle for:

Improbability multiplied upon improbability
Faze not "debunkers", still
The warmongers' evil serendepity
Means the public foots the bill
 
Shakespeare described the deceit early 1600 - Othello (Act V):

Oth.
Soft you; a word or two before you go.
I have done the state some services, and they know't.
No more of that. I pray you in your letters,
When you shall see these unlucky deeds relate,
Speak of me as I am; nothing extenuate,
Nor set down aught in malice: then must you speak
Of one that loved not wisely but too well;
Of one not easily jealous, but, being wrought,
Perplex'd in the extreme; of on whose hand,
Like the base Indian, threw a pearl away
Richer than all his tribe; of one whose subdued eyes,
Albeit unused to the melting mood,
Drop tears as fast as the Arabian trees
Their medical gum. Set you down this;
And say besides, that in Aleppo once,
Where a malignant and a turban'd Turk
Beat a Venetian and traduced the state,
I took by the throat the circumcised dog
And smote him, thus. [Stabs himself.
 
Perhaps it is more accurate to say, "NISTian grey boxes."


Max, I was wondering why you haven't erased that silly signature of yours. Every word of it has been bashed flat, smoked, blasted out of existence, refuted, rebuked, rebuffed, reamed, steamed, and dry-cleaned. In short, it's wrong.

Maybe you just like the sound of it.
