Contest to Honor Great Minds

[pomeroo]

Sometimes I think that we members of the He-man Loon Haters Club give insufficient credit to our distinguished colleagues across the aisle. The fantasists endure--every day of their lives!--the slings and arrows of cruel, mocking rationalists and yet they persevere in pushing the boundaries of human knowledge. Nitpickers will quibble that they do far more shoveling than pushing, but let us not be mean-spirited. Let us temper precise usage with the milk of human kindness. It's high time, I say, to honor those intrepid souls. They deserve scientific and philosophic principles named after them to commemorate their achievements.

Someone out there is making disgusting sounds. Please stop.

Anyway, I'll get the ball rolling with two suggestions. Let's see what we can come up with.



Fetzer's Razor:

Entities should be multiplied until they resemble clowns tumbling out of a tiny car.

Griffin's Uncertainty Principle:

All hard evidence is doubtful in direct proportion to its inconvenience to the fantasy being contradicted.

Jones' Axiom

Anything makes more sense when shouted through a bullhorn.

Ranke's Razor:

Eyewitnesses trump physical evidence, except when they witness something that contradicts your theory.

Dylan's Wager:

It is a better bet to make conspiracy videos, since the expected benefits of making conspiracy videos are always greater than the expected benefits of not making conspiracy videos.

Hmmm, it's good, but I'm not sure if it should be penalized for being true.

Christopher corillary:

Jason's Gambit:

The sum of the sqaure of a sole demolition expert stating that the WTC7 collapse "looks like" a conventional building implosion after seeing a 7-second video without sound is equal to NINE ELEVEN WAS AN INSIDE JOB! (Also, the firefighters were in on it.)

the Change Purse

for having all this great evidence, and not doing anything with it

[Dave Rogers]

The plane was on the left hand side of the Citgo, whatever anyone says.

[Dave Rogers]

Unless they had their backs to the Pentagon, in which case the plane was on the right hand side of the Citgo.

Terrals Uncertainty Principle

If what is observed is not what you expect, it is therfore by definition impossible.

[Brainster]

May's Theorem:

All numbers eventually become 11 (http://www.thewatcherfiles.com/burning.htm)!11!11!

[WilliamSeger]

P'doh's Paradox: "A" and "not A" both prove that 9/11 was an inside job.

[Pardalis]

geggy's rule of thumb:

If you try hard enough, you'll eventually hit something.
