I read about a stupid conspiracy theory the other day. The 9/11 mass murders in New York were faked because aluminium planes can't penetrate steel buildings. Yeah right. And since lead is softer than steel a biscuit tin lid will stop a soft nosed bullet from a Magnum .44 and shotgun pellets just bounce off empty steel cans.

Another stupid theory says that the Apollo moon landings were faked because you can't see any stars in the sky. Tell you what, you go take a photo of the night sky with a camera that has day time film and a shutter speed set for bright sunlight and tell me how many stars you can see in the photo.

Some people say the sedimentary layers in rocks were set down during Noah's flood. Yeah? Well how come a cliff near here has about 25,000 layers? Were there 25,000 Noah's floods?


Anyone else know of some bizzare conspirousy theories they want to bust for us or want people to try to bust?

There's a strange one about the Hallow Earth and how like there is a whole diffrent world down there. Well I dug for about 4 hours, and still haven't reached this magical place. Dammit and I wanted to make love to a mole woman.

We all wanna make love to mole women...

The one that gets me is the crop circles thing, where the pranksters owned up and people still believe aliens did it. :rolleyes:

Not me. I prefer women with big, bright anime eyes. More fuckable.

Not specifically. But when I do women I thoroughly love them all over. They appreciate that. ;)

There's a strange one about the Hallow Earth and how like there is a whole diffrent world down there.

Well, if the earth was hollow then to have the gravity it does the crust would have to be at least ten times denser. But last time I checked the earth's crust wasn't made out of gold, lead and osmium

Interestingly enough, Russia started milk fluoridation in four cities in 1994, after the Soviet Union collaspsed. Perhaps the Soviet Union collapsed because it didn't have fluoridation?

I came across quite a disturbing website the other day that claimed that Jews had promoted abortion in western countries in order to limit the number of Christians in the world. I can't believe people actually consume and believe these theories??? Crazy

In truth I say it, some weird people try to make you believe strange things.
I heard some religious nerds had a famous book with all the history of human being and maybe before that!!!

Incredible, I never heard such a fantasy. Who in our Holy Country could imagine such a poisonous story?
However the story of the 72 virgin girls in paradise is true, and I confirm they are gay.

Yes indeed, how come these strange stories when I did not finish to write all the Holy Scriptures?

:eek: A capitolist plot! What do we do?

Anyways, the we only use 10% of our brain BS. We use all of it. If we did not, our body would let is it waste away like unused muscle. We also would not evolve such an energy hungery organ if we did not need it. This was just a slick marketing plot from the 20's that tried to get people to buy products that would help them use the extra 90% of their brain.

Hey, the moon landing was a fake! Ever notice that the american flag flaps around in the wind. Um...just a little problem with that...there's no freaking wind in space to blow around the flag!

Anyways, the we only use 10% of our brain BS.
Isn't it that we have incredible redundancy in our brains? Loads and loads of unused and seldom-used connections between the various parts of the brain?

That's the way I'd heard it put.

Conservation of energy my friend. When the astronaut lifted the flag, we put energy into the flag. When we stops the bar from moving, the fabric still has all that energy in it and since there is no air on the moon to stop it from flapping it flaps around. Eventual friction from bending will cause the flag to stop fllapping, and it hasn't moved since.

Coulda been blown by the engine I suppose, if they'd landed nearby. I might believe this theory though, but aren't the Japanese due to get one of their photo probes back from the moon soon? If there is evidence of landing there than we know it can't be fake.

I say the Moon is a fake. It's not a Moon, it's the headquarters of the saucer people, cleverly disguised as a Moon.

Not like that though. We evolved during an ice age when food was scarce and meals where far between (this is shown in our ability to store lots of energy as fat). With energy and nutrients so scarce, would we be able to keep such an ineffecient brain? Probably not.

Aerou could probably go into more detail about this. I suspect that the redundant connects may be between cells that have another (rather light-weight) job, and would be able to "fill in" for another connection if needed.

There was a theory floating around that we're all puppets of HotRodia, but that's obviously not true. :cool:

Think of it this way. If you lost half the muscle cells in your arm you could still use it, and the muscle cells that were left would grow stronger to compensate, but your maximum strength would still be less. In the same way you can still think if you lose some brain cells, but that doesn't mean that the brain cells you lost weren't doing anything.

No, I never noticed that. I must have been watching the digitally remastered version Lucus put out. You know, the one where Neil Armstrong has a scene with Jabba the Hut?

Agreed. There is much redundancy in the central nervous system, especially in the cerebral cortex. Lost of as much as 70% neurons (as in Alzheimer's)can take place with minimal clinical symptoms. However, in functional MRI studies, most of the brain is shown to be highly active. The brain is mostly busy, with neurons involved in direct function, or supporting or backing up. This permits recovery during injury or disease. Nobody's brain is 90% idle at anytime.

It is also informative that a golf ball sized tumor may have no clinical effects in the cerebrum, whereas a pea sized tumor in the brain stem would kill a person.

Well, abortion does explain why all the conservatives are still winning...regardless of whether you like abortion or not, all the people getting aborted are from liberal families. :D

It's called crinkles, what they don't have paper where you're from? Since there's no gravity to pull the flag downwards it remains crinckled from when it was unfolded. Maybe they should have invented a space-iron? sheesh. Also if it's a breeze blowing it must be pretty fast in which case why isn't all the dust and silt blowing around that we see photographed as well?

Hmm unless they glued it down?

Why does Episode 0 happen chronologically after Episodes I-VI?


NOTE: that looks weird having a mix of roman and indian numerals there, but that's what the romans get for not having a symbol for zero.

The Romans had a much better symbol for nought and here it is:

Does exactly what it says on the tin!

Anyway, about your question, the Periodic Table sometimes lists the Noble Gases as Group Nought and puts it after the Halogens (Group 7). Same sort of thing really, but very confusing.

Taken from BadAstronomy.com, and apologies for the long quote:

Good: Of course a flag can wave in a vacuum. In the shot of the astronaut and the flag, the astronaut is rotating the pole on which the flag is mounted, trying to get it to stay up. The flag is mounted on one side on the pole, and along the top by another pole that sticks out to the side. In a vacuum or not, when you whip around the vertical pole, the flag will ``wave'', since it is attached at the top. The top will move first, then the cloth will follow along in a wave that moves down. This isn't air that is moving the flag, it's the cloth itself.

New stuff added March 1, 2001: Many HBs show a picture of an astronaut standing to one side of the flag, which still has a ripple in it (for example, see this famous image (http://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a11/as11-40-5874.jpg)). The astronaut is not touching the flag, so how can it wave?

The answer is, it isn't waving. It looks like that because of the way the flag was deployed. The flag hangs from a horizontal rod which telescopes out from the vertical one. In Apollo 11, they couldn't get the rod to extend completely, so the flag didn't get stretched fully. It has a ripple in it, like a curtain that is not fully closed. In later flights, the astronauts didn't fully deploy it on purpose because they liked the way it looked. In other words, the flag looks like it is waving because the astronauts wanted it to look that way. Ironically, they did their job too well. It appears to have fooled a lot of people into thinking it waved.

"""""Hey, the moon landing was a fake! Ever notice that the american flag flaps around in the wind. Um...just a little problem with that...there's no freaking wind in space to blow around the flag!""""

eh yeah thats cus the flag pole was a hallow extendible one , so when they were adjusting it it would spring causing the flag to wave . if you watch it the the flag doesnt wave in any particular current but just swings, the same happins when the brush off it. you can see when the move past it that it doesnt move at all, showing no displaced air. (space vacume) i know it sounds weird , but it makes perfect sense. =/

anyway the thing i never got ..was the old "the holocaust never happened" are people under the opinion that all those bodies and missing people just vanished like a fart in the wind? :rolleyes:

And maybe winged simians shall propel themselves from my anal passage.Ah, after they're done with the mole women.

I took a look at the Flat Earth Society page.

That's no moon!

It's a melon!

A Death Melon!

Er... Moving right along, the one about the 1958 football/soccer world cup being made up is probably one of the most stupid ones I've ever heard.

What about the bible codes predicting important events? (all of which seem to be ones which are well known to people now rather than how important they are to mankind). Some researchers actually got a prediction of 9/11 from a famous pop song, which came out with phrases like "Osama Bin Laden" and "Out of the Sky".

Nobody's brain is 90% idle at anytime.

And I think it might be a good idea to stop poking fun at people's religions. It's like putting a candle under a gas-soked curtain. There will be flames. Seriously, everyone's religion looks stupid from the perspective of someone else. I'm agnostic, so everyone's religion looks stupid. Including the Atheists.:)

Here's a stupid theory: The Kent State Massacre was just liberal propaganda to get us to pull out of Iraq.
And that was in 1970. We weren't in Iraq yet. Back then the War of the Year(R) was Vietnam.

1. The hollow/flat earth theories. Because every dumbass needs an easy-to-explain explanation.
2. Scientology. If you thought Christianity or Islam was bizzar, these fruit cups believe that we came from aliens and that medicine is evil. That and they're probably the most defensive followers around.
3. The "The government is trying to ____________" fill-in-the-blanker. Because Anarchy is, ironicly, the dictatorship government of the idiots who don't even know what it means. Wow, just wow. You anarchists might want to hide your much dumber members. It really looks bad when you have idiots saying they're anarchists when they don't know what it means. We Christians have our own idiots. The one we want to convert to something else the most is Pat Robertson. Please, convert him to something else. Please?

I read about a stupid conspiracy theory the other day. The 9/11 mass murders in New York were faked because aluminium planes can't penetrate steel buildings. Yeah right. And since lead is softer than steel a biscuit tin lid will stop a soft nosed bullet from a Magnum .44 and shotgun pellets just bounce off empty steel cans.

Some people say the sedimentary layers in rocks were set down during Noah's flood. Yeah? Well how come a cliff near here has about 25,000 layers? Were there 25,000 Noah's floods?


Anyone else know of some bizzare conspirousy theories they want to bust for us or want people to try to bust?

I keep posting, these people are desperate to have all these conspiracy theorys be true.

They would love all these conspiracy theorys be true.

Probably the result of things chewing on dead cows. I know that in the U.K. there was a scare about satanists cutting the heads of cats, but actually it is quite normal for a fox to gnaw the head off a dead cat. As for cows I know that after death the blood will drain to the bottom of the body and crows will peck the eyes out. I imagine dogs would also do a fair bit of mutilation. And around here we have huge lizards that like to munch down on them.

The aluminum wouldnt penetrate the steel. But the twin towers only fell because they were made very badly. The jet fuel caught fire and melted the steel, but if they had been covered in concreted that wouldn't have happend, so now they encase the steel beams in concrete for all new buildings. So that theory was made up by someone who has no idea what thier talking about. Just so you know.

I consider myself an extreme skeptic and think for the most part conspiracy theories are nonsence. However http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5137581991288263801&q=loose+change
was a full length documentary that had some very compelling and scientifically reasonable points vregarding a cponspiracy on 9/11. I think there were certian spots where i found thier conclusions to a 9/11 plot to be dubious but certian spots where from a purely physics and scientific standpoint some of thier points seemed remarkably hard to refute. Its a real documentary and all points are well documented and well footnoted with relaible major news sources and real officials of real rank and importance all being documented. I found the Pentagon crash site to be particularly odd for reasons they get into. This documentation can be found on thier website. Its a real movie its 100% free and its done movie quality professionally. Its 1 hr 20 min long and id watch every second of it.

They couldn't even cover up Cheney shooting a old man in the neck. If they can't do that then I don't think they can get away with all the other stuff they are often accused of. What I'm actually scared of Bush administration anti-conspiracies where they tell everyone they are going to do something terrible and then do it. No cover up there.
