Of course. This is a site for software developers after all, where many believe you aren't supposed to actually read the documentation. :laugh:

And as such, I would imagine it might be frequented by management as well. So there's likely a mix of irrational incompetents here too. Hmm, I wonder what Iliot's position is... We know he's not much of a programmer, unless I'm thinking of another irrational incompetent.

You might have noticed that things fall with that accelaration in a vacuum, they tend to fall a teenie bit more slowly through concrete and steel. By the way I'm not assuming anything, merely commenting that this ridiculous report is such a blatant white-wash that it adds fuel to the conspiracy fires rather than putting them out with a genuine honest investigation which addresses the evidence and explain it without resorting to hand waving, magic, unexplained phenomena and new physics.

Ah well, to each his own. Maybe someday I'll be watching a documentary thinking, "wow, Matthew was right." Or maybe the world will end on Dec 21 2012 and we'll never know.

I'll buy it. Not because i have any particular knowledge of the subject (i don't), or because i have a good amount of faith in my Gov't (ditto)... I'll believe it because frankly there are more important things to worry about.

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

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:

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.

Very scary thought, too.

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.

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.
