View Full Version : October Stundie Finals

Here we go.


1) It's a strange thing that things are invisible and unrecognizable unless you are deliberately looking for them.
They couldnt have been found because you just admitted they werent searched for.

****
2) It's widely known that fear and hate are the cornerstones of sound and rational decision making.
voting i don't vote even though i can legally vote i'm choosing not 2 for personally reasons.. you can basically say i live my life in total Anarchy because of the truth i live like as seen in my eyes ABOVE ALL i hate the government the authority i hate them all.
****
3) Sign language and Helen Keller the communist theosophist. Definitely tools of Satan as God would have used someone who couldn't smell or taste.

Barrack Obama is pictured above giving the Illuminati sign of Baphomet. Yes, technically the thumb should be folded in, and his excuse is that it is the American Sign Language “I Love You.” Just like Bush who pretended this was the Texas Longhorn sign, these Satanists need a cover story. Have you ever wondered why the ASL signal is so similar to the sign of Satan? ASL was financed by the Rockefellers and devised by Helen Keller, a theosophist i.e. Mason.
****
4) It seems that no Terrorist group has ever actually carried out any terrorist attacks.
As stated the IRA made claims to bombings but no evidence thay actually carried them out.
****
5) I guess after it starts to collapse it wouldn't be controlled anymore.
Thermite would not be a controlled demolition.
****
6) It seems that belief=truth. Natalie Portman is in love with me. Natalie Portman is in love with me. Natalie Portman is in love with me. Natalie Portman is in love with me.
Well, sorry to dissapoint, but I don't believe in conspiracy theories. If I believe in something, then I don't consider it a consipracy theory, I believe it is the truth.
****
7) Awful it is the big bad government lets people free will have.
Use of face masks at all times was mandatory however a lot of workers failed to wear them due to their own laziness/lack of care.
Why did not the government prevent that?
****
8) To be fair we don't necessarily think they are kids.
We can all talk amongst ourselves and make perfect sense, but to the masses...We are tinfoil hat wearing kids who live in their Mom's basement.
****
9) When any country attacks another it's really just attacking itself....oh and there are aliens involved somehow but your teachers don't want you to know about it.
The decision to kill JFK was ultimately made by the Vatican when JFK openly declared that he would put the interest of US citizens above the interests of the papacy (The Vatican / Jesuit conspiracy which has infiltrated and controls every western intelligence agency and government). JFK was disobeying the Vatican, and it may have had to do with revealing to the world the existence of extraterrestrial life. Now of course if you go this route, your teacher will probably stop reading your paper, but truth is often stranger than fiction.
****
10) If you go along with the present political system you're in on it!
the whole worlds kind of in on it for being ignorant of the facts and going along with the present political system ,
****
11) Have you ever seen a 1300 foot tall flag pole? I'm just curious is all.
Wrong, when you remove the floors you also remove the loads transmitted to the columns and the stresses in the columns will become very small ... and they will stand up like flag poles.
****
12) The victims were there....but not their bodies.
I never refuted the existance of victims that were in the plane at the Pentagon.

I simply stated that there is no evidence of the bodies from the plane being in the Pentagon.
****
13) Nintendo does engineering investigations now?
The computer simulations actually show that the collapse was consistent with an airplane compromising the structure at a higher floor.
I got a computer simulation of an italian eating giant mushrooms and growing twice his size. Doesn't mean it's true.
****
14) I think a squirrel playing with a rubber band and a shuttlecock proves the theory of plate tectonics so Nyahh!
I was told this by John who was seeking props for his new film....not sure HIS theory but mine is that a child could play with a cardboard box and an airplane and tell it is an impossible story.
This is how innocence is taken.
****
15) Two questions: Could Mothra protect Tokyo from an explosion caused by telekinetic children, and, if so, why didn't this happen?
This raises two key questions: Could 12th Aviation Battalion helicopters have helped protect the Pentagon on September 11, and, if they could, why didn't they?
****
16)Reagan National Airport no longer exists....or did it ever?
Pentagon airspace is not restricted? Wow...good one.
****
17) I guess Payne Stewart's plane had diplomatic immunity.
I mean its NORADs job to shoot down planes off course and do not repsond.
****
18) Yes, Gravy doesn't believe that buildings can prevent an airplane from hitting them.
We both know what Gravy was trying to do. He wanted to disseminate the false idea that airplane impact is such an extraordinary event, it's not feasible to design skyscrapers to prevent it, which is obviously wrong.
****
19) ATTENTION! A 3474 km diameter rock has no mass!
The astranuats that walk on the moon said the surface of the moon was soft powder like apparence how does dust settle where ther is no gravity everyone consentrates on the shadows of the landing pod, but with no atmosphere tavelling at what ever speed that the moon travels and no gravity how could there be any dusty surface on the moon as seen on this video the dust falls quicker than the astranuats how does that work
****
20) I hate unknown facts but I hate untrue known facts even more!
It is a known fact that any grouping of five or more will be infiltrated.


Well, that's it. Sorry Zaphod2016 but we only have 20 poll slots!:mad:

Have fun folks, don't drink and drive and remember that spontaneously running onto UK Motorways is bad even if you are blonde.:p

C'mon all. #18 is my stundilious stundie. I've been nominated a few times, but I've never taken home the big prize.

Certainly we should spend our time making fun of ambiguous pronoun usage and other hilarity, instead of actually discussing the point at hand. But I know how you guys get when someone points out the poor logic of an exalted one.

I wrote #18 and I approve this message.

14 paula gloria and her theory that a child playing with a cardboard box and a toy airplane would know the 9/11 wtc attack was impossible is just amazing!

Sorry RedIbis.

I think moon man (he's at least that far out) is going to walk (float?) away with it.

He truly represents the paragon of what a Stundie is: An utterly inane statement demonstrating a complete disconnect from those troublesome trivialities known as science, reason and reality.


Of course, Travis's statement about Natalie Portman being in love with him almost qualifies as a Stundie in its own right. She's in love with me, dammit!

Mobyseven

Moon man for being just the epitomy of what a Stundie is.

18 for implying that airplanes crashing into buildings is (a) common and (b) something that can be prevented at the structural level.

13 for thinking that a complicated computer model simulating collapse and Super Mario Bros. are somehow analogous.

Thank you. You see the beauty of it.

11 because the simplicity of the ignorance is beautiful.

18 because I'm rooting for Red.

19 Because that actually made my head hurt.

19 - by a mile

It could only be 9 for me. I've been getting bored of the 9/11 theories lately and that was some prime old-school material.

i couldnt decide who to vote for, then i noticed you could vote for multiple entries, so i voted for everyone except redibis (because he wants it too much, i dont trust that)

Number 12, because the self-contradiction of "I never denied the victims were there, I just denied that their bodies were," is concentrated essence of CT confused thinking; and Number 18 (you're welcome, Red) because instead of saying, "Hey, guys, sorry, I mis-typed - obviously at least a phrase is missing and here's what I meant to say," the composer has (it seems to me) attempted to defend what he actually wrote.

Thanks for the multi-vote option - there were just too many good ones this time.

I'd say 19, but what are astranuats?

Agatha
2nd November 2008, 01:25 PM
19, because the madness is strong in that one.

12, because doublethink should be recognised and pitied.

9, because "truth is sometimes stranger than fiction" doesn't mean that any strange fiction is really truth.

RedIbis

I went with 1, 6, and 10, because I'm hoping we can focus more on glaring logic errors, cognitive dissonance, and the like - basically, un-critical (a-critical?) thinking - as they relate to conspiracy theories, rather than silly slip-ups, basic repetition of long-debunked canards, or failure to do basic research (though I have a soft spot for #16).

In #1, besides the obvious sillyness, I should like to point out the statement seems to suggest that someone posting on the internet in 2008 had some sort of effect on events that happened in 2001, depending on how literally you take it.

#6 ignores the entire idea behind language - that we have definitions for words or phrases that mean the same thing to everyone. It's an underrated but important part of communication.

As for #10, if everyone's in on it but you and your friends, how can it be a conspiracy (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/conspiracy)? The word for that is society.

It was probably a bit too ambiguous. Telekinetic children blowing up Tokyo is a fairly common occurrence (at least in Anime). ;)

Looks like "no gravity" boy has a good lead.

I went for 2 because I think,although they don't say so, that is the motivation for a lot of CTers.

19. What can I say, it's an Apollo quote (about time we had a win) and darn funny. Heck I wish I'd known about the stundies when Moonman was pasting, he come up with even better stuff....

Ahh yes. His not knowing there was no atmosphere in space was pretty good.

If I had a do-over I'd still include #19 even though, after a careful reading, I think, after a few minutes, did get the idea of what the heck the statement was about. Whew.

Okay, you're either going to have to explain that, or I'll have to nominate you for a November Stundie.

So he thinks there's no gravity but is an atmosphere? That's just silly. Everyone knows air pressure is the source of gravity.

19 & 7... but 19 just plain takes the cake to a whole (new?) different level than the other choices.

Good old Malcom. He was such a rich source of hilarity while he was here.
