"The good lord had our lives in his hands"

That's a quote from one of the passengers of the "Miracle on the Hudson" crash.

Seems to me that all the planes that DIDN'T crash that day were better protected than the god plane. I guess the birds were evil satan birds, and not one of "god's creatures".

How retarded are these morons? How stupid do you have to be? I mean honestly???

The show "Bones" is a big piece of crap.

Mainly it's a piece of crap because the one female character who does CG reconstructions of whatever they happen to be doing is able to create anything needed on demand. We're talking 3d schematics, animations, and who knows what else in just a few seconds.

So basically this woman would have to be a psychic who can anticipate any question being asked by the other investigators and have a ready-made animation or schematic all ready to go.

In reality, one would have to accurately phrase the question, the animator would have to storyboard what they believe to be the proper series of panels, then run them by the questioner (that alone would probably take a couple days). Then, once any remaining questions had been resolved, the animator would start setting up the animation scenes to be used, the props, the models. Which objects are stationary, which ones are movable, which ones are hard bodies, which are soft bodies, which ones are particle emitters, and the properties of the particles, setting up the scale of the models, clothing, hair, etc, etc...

Such things can take months, weeks at the least. The show, in this respect is a complete pile of doo-doo!

Hello kids, and welcome to Learning to Speak.

To we're going to learn how to pronounce the word realtor. Doesn't look like a difficult word, does it kids. But you'd be surprised how many supposedly intelligent adults simply can't seem to handle it.

First, let's break the word down into it's two syllables, "real" and "tor". As we can easily see, there is only one "a" in the word realtor, yet many people pronounce it real-a-tor. Why would they do this? Are they stupid? Uncle Revenant thinks so, that, or they're apathetic and don't care to communicate properly, which means they're selfish.

So, don't be stupid or selfish, kids. Learn how to pronounce words properly, no matter what supposedly intelligent adults say.

That's all for now kids! Don't be stupid!

I occasionally just do Google searches for "god in the news" or some such, just to see what stupidity lies beyond my doorstep.

Found this one today: The Prophesied End-Time Revealed

It's probably been there for a while, since the one page says:

From now until the latter part of 2008, many prophecies are going to begin to be fulfilled, especially the Seven Thunders of the Book of Revelation, which the apostle John saw but was restricted from recording. Those thunders are revealed in this book, as well as detailed accounts of the final three and one-half years of man's self-rule on earth, which are recorded in the account of the Seventh Seal of Revelation.

Ooh, I'm all scared and shit! I can't say these particular people are opportunists, since they're giving the book away. So I can only conclude that they are extremely delusional and should be locked away so as not to harm anyone.

Update 02/27/2009: Still waiting...

While perusing the Web for crop circle stupidity, spurred by a repeat of a History Channel show from 2001 on the subject, I stumbled upon a site presumptuously called "Genius Forums".

On said forum I found a thread where (presumably) geniuses were discussing Crop Circles. Indeed the discussion was about crop circles, but I saw precious little genius involved.

Here's the URL to the thread, which was closed last year: http://www.theabsolute.net/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=3454&st=0&sk=t&sd=a

Apparently there are still people out there who think ANY of the crop circles are something other than human creations.

10 seconds of google searching finds this page, which pretty much debunks any of the "cerealogist" claims of radiation effects, strange plant nodes, etc, ad nauseum.

Here's a quote:

"As I began to make circles myself, l noted that my own mistakes, or unconscious idiosyncracies, were transformed magically by cerealogists into special accomplishments that no human could possibly duplicate. A standing stalk in a circle of felled wheat, missed by my garden roller as a lawnmower might miss a blade of grass, was seen as a cerealogical miracle. A pictogram, fabricated with the aid of several pints of Guinness and a wood-and-rope stalk stomper, was later alleged, with the most sensitive instruments, to be buzzing with radioactivity." -- Jim Schnabel.

So much for serious researchers. Deluded morons is more like it.
