You don't say...

The old debunked talking points are still making the rounds.

Since 1901, how many scientists have said we couldn't go to the moon? ****in' scientists!

 

[AnnaG]

In 1901 we could not go to the moon. In 1911 we could not go to the moon. In 1921 .... In 1961 we could not go to the moon. In late 1960s we could to the moon and did. Well, some of "us" did anyways.

Almost 300 test subjects were asked to rate the profundity of these sentences on a scale of one to five.

As a matter of fact, the test subjects were all found to be totally incoherent during their exit interviews after the experiment.

The part that they didn't tell you is that test subjects were all Rhesus Monkeys.

In 1901 we could not go to the moon. In 1911 we could not go to the moon. In 1921 .... In 1961 we could not go to the moon. In late 1960s we could to the moon and did. Well, some of "us" did anyways.

Stupid people believe things if written in an intellectual sciencey way says intellectual sciencey sounding study.

Oh, and read to you with a British accent ...

Some people around here think poorly spelled in 140 characters is good enough.

So long as it tells you what you want to believe.

In 1901 we could not go to the moon. In 1911 we could not go to the moon...

Of course we could. We just didn't know it

Now, if Krupp had built a big enough gun, ...

 

[eh1eh]

100% in my case. That's just because I know to STFU when I don't know something. A few people here could learn a lesson from me

In mastering sarcasm?

Ya, but, it's gotta be important cause locutus posted it in "Hot Topics".

Ya, I was expecting more.

(ok, now that's fukking double sarcasm, take notes)

 

[DaSleeper]

Sarcasm is extremely funny.......
When aimed at some entity you don't like doncha know?

It's my favourite.

 

[Bar Sinister]

OMG! How profound!
Like a scientific study was needed to determine who has low intelligence? Seems like needing a study to determine who has low intelligence is a sign of low intelligence.
Oh well, I guess it provided some jobs and ensured future scientific funding.

Agreed. It really isn't too surprising that stupid or poorly educated people believe in stupid things.

Certainly explains religious folk.

 

[Ludlow]

Probably. Have you ever heard of "psychology"? Researchers usually test people and stuff to challenge an hypothesis.

It is comical that YOU, Mr. Cannot-be-bothered-to-even-put-your-OPs-about-a-particular-topic-into-one-forum-topic, should be the one to post Einstein's famous quotation.
Was the quote profound for you?

you'd think that Einsteen could have at least combed his hair.

it's just part of that lookin for a hero mentality. Remember all those people who followed Forrest Gump on his coast to coast run.

Only to those who haven't bothered to google the meaning of the word religious. As a devote religious person I support heavier taxation of your kind but we don't want to cause excessive extraction least it burden your ilk overmuch, as long as you toil in th fields uninterrupted by visions of freedom we are con tent, Carry on as if I hadn't interrupted your empty discourse.

You are a sweety.thankyou for your continued attention.

Like the homeopathic religion.
