Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the last monthly finals for 2007! This is is, folks - the last hoorah for a month gone by! This month, there are thirteen possible contenders, so without further delay...

#1 - I assume that Texas has grown since I last bought a world map, then...
It is commonly accepted that the entire world population could all fit into the state of Texas and each have an acre of their own land.


#2 - Noam Chomsky, slayer of humanity!
By blinding people to the need to take the only effective action, [Noam Chomsky] is bringing on disaster. If he convinces even one person to do something other than work for 9/11 truth, he may as well have personally murdered all 6 billion people on earth.


#3 - Proof by Microsoft Simulation?
I tried to slam into the Wold Trade Center Towers with my Microsoft Flight Simulator and it was very hard to maneuver the plane to hit the Towers. And I was going slow, not the speeds that the these planes were going. When I tried to go that fast the plane died on me and crashed into the ground. This is proof that 9/11 was an inside job


#4 - Take this, metallurgy!
Steel at higher temperatures may bend, but it NEVER melts or turns to dust. Never. No, not ever.


#5 - And now, our regularly scheduled space-nut rant...
The Russians were actually the first nation to start a Space Program Conspiracy. Russia's Cold War motivation was to create the illusion of the militaristic domination of space. The US Government simply caught on and created their own conspiracy to compete.

In reality space travel is technologically impossible. Man has never been to space.

The motivation of the Conspiracy is a militaristic one. This is why all astronauts are members of the military. Once you create an illusion of the ability to reach space no other nation will touch you. There is no real research going on at NASA. It's a highly funded propaganda studio designed to create the illusion of America's grasp on space travel. A Saturn Rocket is 95% identical to an ICBM, after all.


#6 - A double-nom for twice the fun!
Nominee #1 said:
They want our guns.

These "mind-controlled zombies" will keep cropping up more and more ...

MK-ULTRA in action - this is their tactic. The sheeple will never get it.

Nominee #2 said:
There was a time I'd call this allegation "crazy".


#7 - The conspiracy relies on...what?
That's only true where the success of the conspiracy depends upon secrecy. What if the conspiracy were so audacious, and diabolical that it would be vehemently disbelieved by default, by a public with an emotional investment in disbelieving it at almost any cost? In this case its success is not a function of secrecy, but of believability when the "secret" is inevitably revealed.


#8 - The Omaha shootings caused a few conspiracists to once again connect-the-dots...
It has been reported that Hawkins shot a Teddybear.....

CNN reported that witnesses and victims can get counseling at Ted E Bear Hollow.....

Teddybear Hollow? Hollow Teddybear? or a Teddybear with the stuffing shot out? This is bizarre to say the least


#9 - Stargate: The Documentary
I believe we were once slaves to aliens but we have been freed and they put us on this planet to carry on.


#10 - Schrödinger's terrorists, maybe?
Perhaps, the world isn't black and white? Perhaps, it's not just either the hijackers existed, or they did not?


#11 - Sometimes it's nice to remember that it's not just the English speaking world that is crazy...
Original said:
maar er zijn wat zeg maar, wetenschappelijke problemen, met het noorderlicht.
En waarom? simpel. In werkelijkheid wordt het noorderlicht veroorzaakt door de "innerlijke zon" in het midden van de ja ja, verder holle aarde.

Translation said:
but there are, let's say, scientific problems with the aurora borealis.
And why? Simple. In reality the aurora borealis is caused by the "inner sun" in the midst of the (yes, yes) hollow earth.


#12 - Note to truther: They have, and you are.
How does one change their mind without losing face after staunchly supporting a single point of view for years?

It's quite alright, you are expected to maintain your opinion even if those responsible for 9/11 confess to their crimes.


#13 - Malaysia, New York, what's the difference?
Truther said:
I didn't say that the same thing should happen to a concrete wall as to a steel wall. In fact, I'd agree that there would be very different results. However, the Twin Towers were constructed largely of reinforced concrete. Like most buildings, steel was used to support the structure.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petronas_Twin_Towers Under "History" it says what the buildings were made of, if you want to read it for yourself.

Representative of the sane said:
The Petronas Twin Towers in Malaysia are built from reinforced concrete. That is the subject of your wikipedia link.

The WTC Towers in New York City were built from steel.

Truther said:
What part of "constructed largely of reinforced concrete" don't you understand? Obviously the twin towers were NOT "completely built as a steel building" if the primary material was concrete. Furthermore, the transportation of any material through the city would be a problem--100's of steel trucks vs. 100's of concrete trucks is still 100s of trucks.

Overall, my point is that 3 planes crashed into reinforced concrete builidngs on 9/11. What differences caused Flight 77 to disintegrate?



That's it, that's all we're done! Place your votes and we'll see this one through to the finish!

I didn't spell it out, so just so y'all know, number six is two truthers sharing one spot in the finals.
 
As a pilot, I have to go with Proof by Microsoft Flight Simulator.
 
I was torn between 1, 2 and 12.


Wait....1.....2.......12......OMFG!!!!! Conspiracy!
 
Number 4 is tempting...I always wondered how they were able to pour all of that steel in the mills if it doesn't melt. Never! Not ever!:rolleyes:
Number 3 is the funniest, to me and my simple mind though. Now I know that Microsoft is an inside job!:p
 
12, it had to be 12.

Simply because it was in response to one of my posts. Thank you MM and well done for making the finals.
 
Gotta go for the metallurgy stundie: conspiracists are so programmed to parrot whatever their favorite website is telling them that they don't care about the truth.

"Steel doesn't melt! Steel doesn't melt! Bawk!"

Makes me wonder how we get steel...
 
I wonder what #5 thinks of the Ansari X-Prize and Spaceship One. But I have to give my vote to #3. Forget physics, engineering and science...the truth can be found in video games!
 
My vote went to 13. It just seemed like the right choice.

We should also have a poll on the best nomination description...
 
Quite a mixed bag this month. Hollow Earth, space travel conspiracy, Omaha shootings. And now Stargate?!

I voted for number 4 (steel never melts) because that's just dumb - and it was written by someone claiming to be a blacksmith.

Had to go for number 13, if only because it demonstrates the sheer lack of awareness truthers tend to demonstrate. Also, it's flippin' HILARIOUS.
 
So many Stundie choices, so little time.

The flight sim one was tempting. I bet he doesn't even have rudder pedals.

The Noam Chomsky one was also good. To think that the entire population of the planet will get wiped out because of one man's refusal to accept their craziness is pure gold. The double-nom and the Schrodinger's Terrorist ones were close behind.

But ultimately I had to agree with Totovader about the Melting Steel one. It beautifully captures the troofers nack for parroting what they hear without giving it a moments thought. The guy probably thinks Rosie is an authority on metallurgy.

So much stupid, so few votes....

I used to live near a steel town, and the railway went round the back of the steel works. Nah, it never melts....! But I didn't see it turn to dust, so only half a Stundie?

Sun in the middle of the hollow Earth? Don't Stundies have to demonstrate some basic level of grounding in reality? I mean, if you're that far gone, it's not fair on the others.

Wrong towers? Oh, I can't choose now!

I picked #4 simply because it ties in to how so many truthers seem to believe that certain metals are completely indestructible-- unless explosives or therm*te were used! Yeah, so steel is completely resistant to fire and impact damage, and a 757 ought to have left a cookie-cutter imprint in a reinforced concrete building. :rolleyes:

Then again, this would explain their belief in the imperviousness of tinfoil.
