How do these people manage to walk and chew gum at the same time?

[stoneyowl2]

Wait a minute - have you actually SEEN them walk and chew gum at the same time?

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, navigate a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

I think your post fits in perfectly with the type of posts being discussed.

Who are mostly wrong and mostly can't be trusted

We have lots of experience with people predicting what the weather will be like the coming winter, or summer. They study how the crows fly, the patterns formed when they throw the coffee grounds on the ground, the stars or whatever. If these soothsayers are completely wrong nine out of ten years, but hit reasonably close one year, which do we remember - the nine failures, or the one hit? How many persons can you name who made predictions and failed? That one that you do know the name of: He failed last year, didn't he? Yes, he once hit the bulls eye so well that they wrote about it in the newspapers - that was, lets see... seventeen year ago, I remember that very well, and he has had a name since then. Even though he has not repeated the feat, he must possess some very special abilities, don't you agree? Everybody does! Another side is how exact and provable statements the soothsayers make. A few years ago, one of the guys at the Norwegian Meteorological institute played a little prank on the TV audience after reporting the forecast for the next day, he gave an overview over the weather for the summer: There would be some rain and some sun, we must expect wind on the coast and in the mountains, but also calm periods … A couple days later, he was back, telling that he had received much positive feedback on his summer forecast, no negative. But it was nothing but a joke. Of course we will have some sun, some rain, some wind, some calm! He took us through what he had "predicted", pointing out how he had not pinpointed anything neither in time nor region, not given any temperature in degrees, only as "warmer" or "colder", without any point of reference. Similar with rainfall, he predicted "some", and, in periods not fixed, "more". "Wind" can be anything from a soft breeze to a full storm; he had deliberately not used any more exact terms. It was all just loose bs. But, he claimed, his summer forecast would be 100% correct. He had looked through the previous fifty summers, and every one of them fit well within his predictions: There had been sun, rain, wind and calm, as he had predicted. Weather, pandemics or anything else: Usually, 90% of it phrased so vaguely that it is non-verifiable, or it is natural. If a soothsayer is caught making 5% mistakes, he (or his followers) will point to the other 95%: Look there! That was not wrong! No, but if it was bs throug

I have seen many educated people be afraid of what they do not understand.

Social Media - A platform that makes it easier for the crazies to find each other. Everyone is born right handed. Only the strongest overcome it. Fight for left-handed rights and hand equality.

NO! Not the dreaded Dihydrogen-monoxide poisoning. I'm kind of thirsty just thinking about it! Wait, not I'm not!...

These silly conspiracy theories were shared by celebrities, weren't they? I am not surprised then.

Wait. Wasn't that the basis of that movie "Tuxedo"? You mean Jackie Chan was actually doing a documentary? (you have to love that opening scene) Money makes the world go round ... but documentation moves the money.
