Steven Jones dust analysis proves box of cheerios destroyed WTC
According to Professor Jones's analysis of World Trade Center steel and dust samples, high traces of sulfur and iron were found. Also found were traces of zinc, manganese, and titanium. Finally the proof: Cheerios used to destroy the WTC!
![]() That's right. Iron and zinc are both chemical fingerprints of Cheerios and Cheerios alone. Sulfur is used in its cardboard box. Manganese and titanium are also used in both the box's paint and in the plastic bag. Therefore, Cheerios were used to destroy the WTC. Or maybe not. The point is, the elements Steven Jones believes are fingerprints of thermate are used in practically everything. Boxes of Cheerios are just as likely a culprit for their presence in the WTC dust as thermate. It's really sad that he can call these "uncommon chemical elements" and have his followers be so gullible as to believe it. |

Low in fat, high in soluble fiber--I for one welcome our Cheerios overlords.

Interesting. Now did the Cheerios have any involvement in the pentagon as well?

Couldn't the culprit have been a box of Total, or possibly even a bottle of Centrum?

The cereal is only part of this complete conspiracy.
Which means OJ was in on it too. Respectfully, Myriad |

This is a little late, but isn't it strange that Professor Jones titled his thermate paper "Finally the proof: Thermate used to destroy WTC"? Finally the proof: Steven Jones (and other "scholars" for 9/11 truth) start out with their own belief of what destroyed the WTC, and then go out looking for evidence trying to prove it. And then never find it.

Wow, I think I might be onto something here. I must've missed this before, but Cheerios also contains 115mg of POTASSIUM!!! Potassium was found in abundance in the WTC dust. Jones claims that Potassium is a fingerprint of thermate, but nope. I say it's a fingerprint of Cheerios.

How does Jones respond when confronted with the mounds of facts that highlight how ridiculous his "theories" are?
How did he get his PhD in a scientific field without so much as a basic understand of ethics and the scienitifc method? I really want to know the answers to these questions. |

Hee hee. For once, I beat someone to a funny! (It's rare, so I'll relish it.) ETA: But note the opening there for a new food-related joke... No, but the twoof movement is certainly chock full of bovine excrement. (I know, I know, that goes without saying, but what the hell, might as well say it )

That box is just asking for a make over with "9/11 Fruit Loops" replacing the cheerios and a sticker with "Contains Nuts" added.

And since Cheerios float in milk, they must be lighter than air, which also conveniently explains the so-called "pyroclastic flows".

How do you explain all the dust at Ground Zero?
No ordinary collapse would turn concrete and steel into fine dust. Cheerios are a different matter; you can turn them to dust with as little as your bare hands. |
