I would hope not with a PhD in 1990.

With your qualifications, you should have a look into the Iron Spherules angle we are looking at...ie from organic material such as human blood and tissue, as well as other organics. There is a thread on it...

Wow!


Mensa-cubed is all I can think of when I see this thread.


Is there any way I can get you guys to stop master posting on each other for just a second, and perhaps answer a teenie-weenie question I have presented here:

http://www.internationalskeptics.com...00#post2891400

TAM needs a little help, and we wouldn't want the real world to think that JREFers are just a bunch of high-schoolers, right?


Thanks!

I agree...the K+ froom blood alone, even with 3000 victims is insufficient.

But if we look at other sources of iron and potassium, other ORGANIC sources (human tissues, bone marrow, other organics) it changes drastically.

See the recent thread by Crazy Chainsaw.

well see if you can put aside your bias and as an honest scientist help CC and Greening as well as others look at the Organic source theory for the iron spherules...I know it will be disasterous for S. Jones Thermite theory, but remember, it is all about the TRUTH.

Another one late to the thread. No flight experience but I've been in television production for 25 years, initially as a cameraman (studio and field) for 8 years (before deciding that I didn't much appreciate shooting in inclement weather) and the time since as a freelance editor. Most of what I've done has been for specialty networks (HGTV, Life, etc.) as well as a couple of documentaries. I've also cut short films, one of which was at Sundance in 2004. I think I can add to the already deep bench-strength here on video analysis. I also have a working understanding of basic metalurgy through a summer spent working for a heat-treating company and, having passed high school physics back in the day, retain enough to know that the twoofers haven't a clue about what they're talking about.

I'm assuming that "ON" denotes an American state, as they don't really have "high school" in the English one?

BS in Political Science (yes S not A). I am a news and political junkie following national and international events since 1968 starting with the assassination of Bobby Kennedy. I am also a White Nationalist and have been following ‘The Movement’ since the early 70's. I came to the claims of 9/11 conspiracy theorists by first examining the 2001 anthrax attacks. I have attempted to read every article written on the anthrax mailings and consider myself an expert on this bio-terror attack.

oh, BTW
What is "propper" and what is the correct method of throwing it (them)?

We Canadians are stuck in the middle. We spell the word that refers to the wavelength of light reflected off surfaces, both as "colour" and as "color". We spell it correctly when we can ignore our automatic spellcheckers trying to "correct" us, and we spell it "color" when we get fed up and decide just to go with the enormous flow out across the southern border.

See! Thar ya goez agin! Makin fun an usin big words.
The proper method of transferring a spherical object ffrom one individual to another is by using the dominant arm and hand to propel said sphere, while using a single stride to ensure that sufficient energy is imparted to the object such that it reaches its intended target with minimum chances for interception by hostile forces.
It is not propelled by standing flat-footed and using two hands over the head, nor is one penalized because of inability to keep both feet earthbound during the throw!

So there!

As an aside, we've just landed a commission for a new 36 storey mixed use office block in sunny Manc land. But apparently I don't know nuffin' about such things, according to the troofers, so all of you from the northwest of England take care in case it lands on your heads.....

Yeah, Reheat, RMackey, and AMTMAN (to name a few) are missing and their flight credentials are impressive.

T.A.M, is there any way you can keep the list updated in the format that grmcdorman did in post 293? That looks nice...
