After that date, who would really care? I plan on living life to its fullest everyday upto that date, and including that day, and afterwards. Nothings going to happen.

Of course not. It's a running joke in the office. Helps dodge some deadline discussions ;P

I couldn't tell for sure what you were agreeing to there.

Caused by airplanes being rammed into the building and the burning jet fuel. Sorry, I'm not a conspiracy theorist...

Very true. Just tell folks the project will be completed around 23rd, or so. Oops, that's Christmas vacation time right after Dec. 21st :rolleyes:

Yeah, a guy that works with my dad was pretty convinced that Planet X was going to wipe out the earth back in 2003. He invested hundreds of thousands of dollars building some sort of shelter thing up in Alaska, and it never happened. Guy is a PhD in Astrophysics and I figured he would have done his homework a bit better :suss:

Just checking, couldn't tell if you were voting for flying jihadis or the grassy knoll.

Yeah, sorry about the vagueness of the one post. Coffee is still kicking in :-O

Good God, as if it would have done him any good or he'd want to be the only one around in the aftermath... And he too can vote. :sigh: I ran accross some pretty whacky stuff on Planet X a couple of years ago. Those people put Scientology to shame on the fruitloop-o-meter. Something to the effect that Planet X orbits a near brown star that we can't see, and once every 4,000 or so years it swings over for a pass around our sun causing a pole shift. Even heard somebody claim that the magnetic drag of it's approach was the actual cause of global warming. Anyway, the people that live in the brown star's system apparently use the rougue planet to come visit Earth once in a while, which they supposedly populated by genitically engineering humans from monkeys and themselves. Good stuff.

Heard that too, and this guy even tries to claim when Planet X swings by, it stops the earth's rotation, and it was the cause of Noah's Flood in the Bible. His argument is that all the water on earth was still in motion and the earth's rotation slowed down fast enough for one mega tsunami event.

I see. When Planet X isn't making its trip, they come in UFOs to check on their little science experiment :rolleyes: Wonder if some of them post here on CP? :laugh:

So do I. I was at the Tech-Ed ending party, surreal enough made up like an outdoor fair in an underground parking garage, and I went back to my room for a joint, and as I stood up to leave, I walked past the TV and saw the first tower collapse. :( It was very surreal. I knew what had happened, but didn't expect the collapse.

triggering the pancaked collapse.
Which did not occur. Ruled out by the fact that pancaking would simply have been too slow to match the observed collapse time and could not have occured symetrically in an asymetrically reinforced building with asymetrical fires. Even without the unexplained molten metal and eye witness testimonies of multiple eplosions and a demolition countdown this would be a pathetically inadequate explanation. Albeit that they had next to no physical evidence to go on as the crime scene was cleared without forensic examination.

Hey Matthew: The sky is green. It turned green last night at 10 pm. I saw it. It's the US inducing electromagnetic interference to block Soviet propaganda transmissions. Look outside right now! Not blue, GREEN. You have no physical evidence that it's not green, so it's green.

Felt the same here. I was in a lot of disbelief about it until I saw the headlines in the paper the next day. That is about when reality really set in for me. And remembering seeing people jumping out of the building was pretty bad, too. No judging their decision to do so. What angers me more than 9/11 is all of the conspiracy b.s. that float around it.

Where did they resort to that? Give specific examples citing the page number of the report and the exact mistake that these engineers made, if you please. Otherwise I'll just have to write you off as one more crank with no knowledge of physics who hasn't even bothered to read the report. Bah, who am I kidding. I've already written you off, but feel free to prove me wrong.

I never thought I'd see someone hawking an 'Extra' edition of a newspaper on the street.

I didn't say anything about hawking an extra paper. I did have the L.A. Times delivered to me at that time. I still have the front page of 9/12's paper, and also when the Angels won the World Series in '02, along with Mark McGwire breaking Roger Maris's homerun record. Those were all at the time when I actually wasted money subscribing to a newspaper.
