November Stundie Nominations

Travis · Nov 1, 2011

November is upon us. And the leaves are falling/sprouting. What I'd also to like see are really good Stundie nominations. Lots of 'em.

What is a Stundie? It's a humorous statement that is very wrong. I mean really wrong. Usually these are related to conspiracy theories but could also be about general science and logic. Keep them short and sweet if you can.

So go get them and don't forget to provide a link.

From our newest treasure trove of wisdom, Nuke Lies:

Apollognomon, here's a photo from NASA's 'Apollo 14 image library'. Image AS14-64-9189. It's here:--
http://next.nasa.gov/alsj/a14/images14.html#Mag64

Now, the earth and the moon are virtually identical distances from Venus. Venus from earth looks like a bright dot - few if any people can discern the pahases. This photo, supposedly from the moon, shows a hugely enlarged Venus - and yet the supposed moon equipment next to it is unenlarged, natural size photo as from normal (not long-focus) lens. It's clearly a fake photo.

The photo:

Yep. He thinks the Earth is Venus.

Come on, the Earth is huge, everybody knows that! Look out your window, the Earth literally spans the horizon! You expect us to believe that little old thing is the Earth? Pshaw! [/Idiot]

Venus is in the photo, it just isn't the thing he thinks it is,

Maybe they should have put labels on the earth too

Yes, fancy that, more information on the very site he got the image from in the first place explaining everything.

The very image you link was my response.

From that same thread:

I have doubts that NASA can get heavy payloads into a vacuum. It appears to me, from watching Apollo rocket launches, that a rocket engine works just like a propeller on an airplane; by moving lots of air. When they get into a vacuum, they fizzle. So they might move a light payload. But no landing four ton crafts on the moon, and no rover on Mars.

To be fair:

The New York Times said:
That Professor Goddard with his "chair" in Clark College and the countenancing of the Smithsonian Institution, does not know the relation of action and reaction, and of the need to have something better than a vacuum against which to react—to say that would be absurd. Of course he only seems to lack the knowledge ladled out daily in high schools.

...he's not the first to make that mistake.

I've been wrong all these years. I thought they used rocket propellants, but know I find out it's rocket propellers.

Don't laugh. One company made a serious run at it.

And, for more Earthbound flights, you might soon be able to fly your own, which I also hereby nominate for "Best Impression of a Steam Locomotive by a Light Helicopter".

And we thought the problems with the education system were of recent origin.

I actually burst out laughing when I discovered this gem, in fact I still laugh every time I read it.

In a hundred years time, people will be reading Rob Menard as we do Lysander Spooner today.

Controlling Hurricanes, video fakery... it works and it sucks!

From one of the goons at ATS:

They faked the 9/11 video in advance and had to ensure that the day turned out bright and sunny, as seen in the faked videos. They engineered hurricane
erin for this purpose and directed it close to NY city to suck away any possibility
of a rainy or overcast morning. They also needed to coordinate the actual wind direction
to match up with the fake video.
(No clouds was the safest way to go for faked video,
like the no stars in the moon landing hoaxed shots - little chance of contradiction
between different faked video perspectives).

And G.O.D. Yes, they have the technology.

Keoni Galt says that feeding babies formula causes allergies, asthma, and diarrhea because he suffers from those problems:
http://traditionalchristianity.word...oblem-with-christian-movements/#comment-35943

I was a soy formula baby. By 2 years old I developed allergies, asthma and had constant diarrhea. My mother said she tried to breast feed me, but I wouldn’t latch. To this day, I have problems with both – although i’ve discovered that my diet has dramatically reduced their severity, I don’t I’ll ever be “cured” of them.

My other siblings were all breast fed exclusively.

None of them developed allergies or asthma.

I don’t think that’s a coincedence.

This one gets my vote.
Controlling hurricanes, indeed.

Well, if everybody follows my example, that would be "not at all."

Hey! GoodOlDave! He's one of us, I knew him back on AOL message boards. Stalwart. If he's on JREF it must be under some other name.
