The stupid, it burns!

It was a toss up between this and a larger one claiming that the world is flat.

Yes, these people are serious.


Also, ethocentricism is rampant. Many seem to believe that the King James Version of the bible is the most holy of all, and the original greek and hebrew texts are pagan devilworshipping bits of evil. How stupid can people get?

  They are?!  I saw that a few years ago.  It was so crazy I thought it was just a joke like the whole site warning against the evils of DMHO (di-hydrogen monoxide... it's deadly and it's everywhere!    ).  Wow... you're sure they really believe it?  That makes Paris Hilton look smart.

I've just looked at one topic so far, but it seems to indicate that many "members" seem to want to poke fun at the idea.

Just stirring the embers here, don't mind me...

From the top 100...

"Gravity: Doesn't exist. If items of mass had any impact of others, then mountains should have people orbiting them. Or the space shuttle in space should have the astronauts orbiting it. Of course, that's just the tip of the gravity myth. Think about it. Scientists want us to believe that the sun has a gravitation pull strong enough to keep a planet like neptune or pluto in orbit, but then it's not strong enough to keep the moon in orbit? Why is that? What I believe is going on here is this: These objects in space have yet to receive mans touch, and thus have no sin to weigh them down. This isn't the case for earth, where we see the impact of transfered sin to material objects. The more sin, the heavier something is. "

'Cept that Mt. Everest is about 8.8 km high, and the Earth is about 6,371 km...in radius. And probablly many, many, many, MANY times as dense. (Denser to a very high degree. Very dense.)

I jus had to say it.

How stupid can people get?

Sadly, very, it would seem.

*Smacks with newspaper* No. Bad. No making Earth explode.

Have this instead.

extremely more dense, a large percentage of the earth is actually molten iron and nickel, essentially steel, and in the very center the pressure is so great that the molten steel is actually compressed into a solid, and possibly a supersolid in the very center. so yeah, the earth is probably about three times as dense as a mountain.

i really hope that some of the people who rant stupid things like 'gravity does not exist' and 'the earth is flat' spend their afterlives being beaten by physics majors

The earth is actually a 6-dimensional torus, but we can't perceive it because we're only living in 4 dimensions.   

*The very next day, someone forms the Torus Earth Society*

Dammit!  I wanted to be cult leader.

Some join for the irony, but (from everything I've read) at least a few of them seem to be completely serious.

Last time I checked, the Shredder wasn't a) female and b) a feline. He's a ninja with a fetish for strapping cutlery to his upper body.
You could be a particularly dastardly foot soldier, though.

Hm. So April would be its prophet, Casey Jones would be a paladin, Splinter would be God, and the Turtles would be his messengers?

If we get to fight the Power Rangers, I'm so there.

Power Ranger-ism is a false doctrine. Do not follow the path of the Zords, for you wil surely be stepped on.

Also, the Turtles could so kick the power rangers' collective butts, zords or no zords.

No. NO! *takes a few deep breaths*
Such lies will surely lead you to oblivion. Do not resist.

THE POWER OF ZORDON COMPELS YOU! THE POWER OF ZORDON COMPELS YOU!

*Ahem*
On a more serious note, It's really like comparing apples to oranges. Only the ninja storm power rangers were anything like ninjas, and that series just plain sucked. In space forever!

Oh, and I'm not sure if this topic makes me want to laugh, or rip the head off a religious nut and beat the afterlife out of them. I'm sure my post started with a point better than that, but you know how it is.

[Feroluce]

I am so so glad that, by the time I had finished reading this topic, it had half turned to spam. That site made me laugh, but was also more then mildly depressing. and really had me reaching for alcahol. 

on a lighter note, where does Voltron fit in there? They were the original robots-making-bigger-robot heroes. follow the originals, I say =D

I have a contribution of stupidity, brought to me by my dear sister.

A few of them made me slam my head on our marble desk, owwwwww.

Police in Radnor , Pa. interrogated a suspect by placing a metal colander on his head and connecting it with wires to a photocopy machine. The message 'He's lying' was placed in the copier, and police pressed the copy button each time they thought the suspect wasn't telling the truth. Believing the 'lie detector' was working, the suspect confessed.

This made News of the Weird.

Unfortunately, it's bunk.
