    The best plane I ever flew had wings covered in tissue-paper bought from the gift-wrap section of a supermarket and sealed/shrunk with table-tennis balls dissolved in acetone. ;P 2nd flight, overtaking cars doing 50mph - DasUglyStik 2nd Flight - YouTube[^] 3rd and final flight - forgot to set dual-rate for the control surfaces: Das Ugly Stik crash.wmv - YouTube[^] But point taken (and term found rather amusing :thumbsup:)

    I've also heard 'Dumber than a tissue paper cruise ship'. And I just came up with 'Dumber than a tissue paper space ship'

    What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

      Why not "Dumber than a tissue paper duck that poses a duckface swimming in water while floating through space"

      Rules for the FOSW ![^]

      if(this.signature != "")
      {
      MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);

      else
      {

          While discussing the antics of a drunken girl that tore apart an Uber driver's car recently, someone mentioned that she was quite the entitled so-and-so and that she probably had 50 pictures on her farcebook page flashing the peace-sign and pulling a "duckpose". Curious, I googled the term and nearly fell apart when I saw some of the poses that people are pulling in their selfies. It seems there are instructional videos and posts on how to 'perfect' the duck-face or the newly trending pose, the fish-gape. Reading more in morbid curiosity, I noted that the wikipedia page for duck face[^] mentions the results of a 2015 study that claimed users that exhibited it were more likely to be emotionally unstable and neurotic, before then going on to compare it to the face that some female monkeys make before breeding and most odd to me - that an online dating site claims that members that simply smile receive less attention than those that pull the pose. Even got sent a link to a NSFW youtube video that er, ah - 'showcases' some of the pics of it. Duck Face OFFICIAL Edtion - YouTube[^] So I've become rather curious. Being a mostly male audience here, what do others think? Hot or Not?

          Utterly trashy. Which is probably why it "works" to attract attention.. from, well, *certain* guys.

            The entire topic of discussion brought down my IQ to 0 at the first paragraph. While I agree that it is not a big fall, it hurts and limit my ability to answer.

              Your wiki leak just goes to the 'Duck' page. I already know what one of those are.

                Julian Assange in an embassy? That'd be a sitting duck wikileak. Sorry mate, don't follow you. You know what a duck is, what a wikileak is, what a Wikipedia link is? Perhaps something else entirely? As the risk of being cheeky, many if the 1 point QA questions are less ambiguous than your reply.. Never-mind, I see what you mean. The link's been truncated. I'll have a look at it. EDIT: A simple case of PEBKAC

                    Nothing new about face pulling as a way of getting attention. Have a look at the tradition of gurning in England which goes back centuries. There have been several studies showing that you are more likely to receive a positive answer to a request for a date with someone who doesn't know you if you're in a silly costume or pose. In other words it's a very successful strategy. Now who's dumb?

                    I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

                      Oh, I dunno. You pointed my attention to the mistake I'd made and simultaneously left me with some fun as I tried to work out (definitively) what you meant. Thanks for each. :)

                        Never heard the word "gurn" before. A qiuck search reveals that there's even competitions at local fairs around the place. That's something I could enjoy far more than I probably should. :-\ Thanks for introducing me to the term. :thumbsup: Generally speaking, I can't answer your question. Though, in the case of the quackers, I reckon it's those that request the date in the first place, hoping to get someone fun and easy-going instead of someone neurotic and unstable. :shrug:
