Ok, I lol'd at that one. But yes, it can be hard to keep from dropping off-world artifacts down the drain. Is her friend just clumsy? Or did the implants want to be destroyed? Perhaps some sort of protocol is order.
Truly awesome. Just in case the holographic command doesn't work for you, though, there's a whole section on how to destroy them. I really shouldn't read this stuff at work, I can't not laugh out loud at this luncay!
Now we've got to be wary of nutters wandering around with rare earth magnets in their headgear. At least they'll have somewhere to hang their keys.

Ahh, synchronicity.
I should have guessed they'd be flogging something sooner or later:

Coincidentally, the above email arrived a few days after my husband Michael was offered a source of Neodymium magnets, even though we have never shown an interest in magnets before. Taking notice of synchronicity has often been important to me. Finally I felt that we were meant to source the best we could and so here they are:
Strangely, even though I've never before shown an interest in watches, hey anyone wanna buy a genuine rolex?

This thread is hilarious! One thing this proves: Unintentional humor kicks the teeth out of comedy that is intentionally written.

Those little magnets are much less conspicuous than my trusty tinfoil hat. I will now be able to use public transit without people laughing at me.
I gotta get me some!

For some perverse reason, I find myself reminded of the Coso Artifact.
It all fits into the same catagory..... faeces of the bull.

Your latest link was great reading once again Filthy! What's really illuminating about it is how the Creation Outreach people stopped communicating, yet kept promoting lies about the object, after learning the "Coso Artifact" was simply an old 1920's Champion spark plug. Typical behavior for lying Creationist shit-sacks.

How does that answer my question to you? Do you or don't you think that everyone has the same level of obvious gullibility expressed by Stephanie Relfe or not? Yes, everyone falls for something sometimes, but the amount of nonsense on the webpage in question is astounding. |

Now you're using the word gullibility rather than stupid. Does gullible necessarily translate into stupid? |

Ah, I see: a semantic argument. Really, though, in what you categorized as "just off the cuff comments" I found "stupid" not to mean "of below average intelligence," but instead I read it as "accepting of unevidenced garbage," or gullible. As you pointed out, Gorgo, even highly intelligent people can believe stupid things. But that doesn't mean that everyone is equally gullible, as you seemed to be suggesting.
So again, is that what you meant to suggest or not? |

Well, if you call a "semantic argument" excusing someone who says blue when they mean applesauce, I guess it is a "semantic argument."
If you think the meaning of words is unimportant, or as we might say here, cheeseburger, then what is it you think you're arguing with?
The point is I wonder if this sometimes seems like a place where people who have an interest in certain subjects, even a high ability to retain and convey information in those subjects, think that they're more intelligent than others, and can come here to laugh at those others.
Again, it's not a statement, it's just something that I wonder about.
Now if it's true, some of those people who know some things about certain subjects may happen to be less than brilliant about some subjects, so they may wish to rethink their position, that is, if they're not too "stupid" to do so.
If it's not true, then I'm just worrying about nothing. Please forgive the hijack. |
