In the Northern Hemisphere Autumn is upon us so we have the Fall is Here version Stundie Award winner potentials to nominate and here is where you do it. After some blow ups last month I feel it is necessary to restate the Stundie Award rules:

1) Posts must be about Conspiracy Theories and not just nutty things in general.

2) Posts must exhibit ignorance, faulty logic or stupendous arrogance mixed with an ironic mistake.

3) No spelling errors, typos, grammar issues or math mix-ups unless they are deliciously ironic.

4) Posts must be humorous and not just something you disagree with.

5) All nominated posts must have some sort of link or screenshot to prove the reality of the post and it's source.

6) Keep the introductions short and sweet as Stundies should not need too much background.

7) Nominated posts should be cut down to the nominated part which should be concise and stand on its own.

8) This is not the place for ad hominems so a post should be funny independent of knowing who it is that said it.

9) Pictures are not allowed on their own but descriptions of pictures, provided they meet all other previously stated requirements, are allowed.

10) Videos are not allowed on their own but transcripts of videos, provided they meet all other previously stated requirements, are allowed even if you personally did the transcribing.




Have fun people.
 
I nominate rwquinn also this month :)

...
Having spent 20+ years dealing with people who do not understand a FEA deflection plot, I admit I didn't go directly to the source data. I recognized a normalized plot, and stated it. It is still the case--the deflections are not to scale (that is what "no scale factor was used" means), but are normalized to some max (or min, depending on which absolute is greater), and expressed relative to that. Doesn't matter which model it is.

who knows a little about FEA, knows how funny his posts actually are. and his twist / spin in the NIST mail quote.
 
Disproving the adage that there is no such thing as a stupid question:

Stationed at the airfield is the 12th Aviation Battalion, which is the aviation support unit for the Military District of Washington. The battalion operates UH-1 "Huey" and UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters. [9]

This raises two key questions: Could 12th Aviation Battalion helicopters have helped protect the Pentagon on September 11, and, if they could, why didn't they?
 
Yep, those are two pretty stupid questions.

Yes:rolleyes:.....what are we going to do with him?
 
read true the thread and realise that he perfectly qualifys for a stundy.
but oc a duhbunker cant be nominated, just be honest ffs. you want expose stupid truthers, but not the stupid debunkers.

DC, your whining about how unfairly you think you are being treated would have a great deal more impact if you hadn't said nearly 24 hours ago that you were going to nominate the very next thing rwguinn posted.

when is the October Stundie Nomination thread open?

i want to nominate the next rwguinn post :)

Take your childish vendetta elsewhere, please.

ETA: Does DC throwing a hissy fit after he stated his intent to make a bogus nomination constitute a stundie?

that is Ignorance, even after NIST debunked his woo.
he simply twisted the NIST mail so it fits his belive.

It is not that i dont agree with, it is the FACT that it is WRONG, Confirmed by NIST themself.

Would he no claim to be an expert, i would not nominate him, but he claims to be working 20+ years with people that do missinterpret FEA's, but the NIST mail actually nicely show that he is not such an expert like he belives he is.

But its OK. i understand now, this is ONLY to nominate Truthers, duhbunkers cannot be nominated.

what do you fear? he will not win in finals anyway, even i must agree that alot other nominations are alot dumber posts and claims. And the overwhelming majority in this subforum will NOT cote for a duhbunker anyway.

but then atleast be honest and state in your rules, only for truther nominations.......
Duhbunkers are immune against stundies.....

pls? i hope you are misstaken and not a liar......

check the date of the latest nominated rwguinn post......

ETA: i nominated him before i had a second answer from NIST that debunked rwguinns latest woo and twist. I kneww what they will say.

It is perfectly acceptable to nominate "Duhbunkers" for the Stundies, but RWguinn's post doesn't appear to qualify for several reasons:

1) It isn't funny. (if you have to explain the joke, it's not a joke.)
2)It is not obnoxiously arrogant. (I don't know if RWG has worked for twenty years with FEAs, but it doesn't seem to be an outrageous claim.)
3)It doesn't appear to contain anything stupid.
4)It doesn't appear to demonstrate any glaring logical fallacies.

So, DC, next time you see RWG posting about his plans to destroy all Truthers with his gerbil powered laser and how he shall be crowned King of Texas when Jesus returns, feel free to nominate him.

When i posted this, rwguinn posted already, but it was OCTOBER, so i asked when the OCTOBER nomination will be open, so i can niminate the first OCTBER Stundie from rwguinn............

Dont try to twist it, when you have doubts, go check the dates of said posts.....

It is because you people seem not to understand how funny it actually is to claim that a TOTAL COLLAPSE FEA has displacement scaling.....

Well you are right that I have no idea why that would be funny to anyone. I suppose it could be an error (I don't know if it is or not), but does it rank alongside any of, say last month's finalists? I don't think so.

There probably are some idiotic "duhbunkers" out there somewhere making outrageously stupid and fallacious posts, but I don't think the current example qualifies.

Why not go see what Troy from WV has been up to lately and then let us all know how evil we all are for siding with someone like him?

remember Knightrider? kitt driving 400+ mph , all they did was fast forward the tape, very funny. that is comparable to a FEA of a total collapse with deflection scales.

but its ok :) maybe it is indeed not funny for others.
 
Anybody need some more iron in their diet?

I know it probably won't be a finalist, but I could pass up showing the extreme irony of DementedOompaLoompa's post:

Do you have an ego problem? It seems like it, since deep down you know you're wrong so you have to keep defending yourself, your opinion, and your ego, even though I am telling you over and over to leave my topic. I can't not respond to you, because you're spewing lies.

You're what they call a repeater. You have heard a story so many times, no matter how much evidence or support against it, you'll keep repeating what you were told over and over and over. I bet you don't even read the articles you link to me, you just assume the person who repeated them to you did, and were right.

Look, guys, there's no point bickering; it's nominated. Let's see whether Travis thinks it's worth including in the final candidates, shall we?

Dave

But it was just getting good.;)
