We knew it was all smoke and mirrors...

This is what happens when a bunch of academia types get a federal grant and get together and think too much. No offense to academia types that fly!

Yeah. Those physicists are going to ruin a whole industry by finding the truth. And the government will enforce it, since it's "scientific" and therefore right.

Um..... Did you happen to notice that the site is The Onion?:skeptical: Don't go slamming smart people if you can't recognize satire!:mad2:
 
Definitions for y'all who weren't previously aware:

Onion - n - 1. A food-type substance that women do not wish for you to eat prior to kissing them. 2. A satirical publication that does not even pretend to publish items resembling fact.

IOW, don't eat onions before kissing your girlfriend/wife/dog (actually the dog probably won't care), and don't take any news stories you read from the Onion with any shread of seriousness.

I might add that my firewall here at work blocks The Onion as "humor."
 
It's not so much that planes fly, but when you add passengers, the total ugliness makes the earth throw them from the ground. Fortunately, it can only throw them to the next airport.
 
John, I've heard that argument work for helicopters, but most planes are too attractive for that to work. Maybe it works for Teller's 1900. ;)

If you believe this, why do y'all keep sending your kids to college?:goofy:

Actually the quote answers that question all by itself, but I'll leave you to figure out why.

Let me get this straight, I make a sarcastic statement about academics & grants, after reading a sarcastic article about why airplanes can't fly, and you take offense? Interesting.

Clearly, you don't have to worry about being in either intellectual category. :rofl:

Hey! I'm the new guy, back off! I get 3 months of "honeymoon time" before you guys can slam me. It's in the POA rule book. :fcross:

Sorry Judy, I was just trying to make a joke. You know how clumsy new members can be. No harm intended to those who teach. They work so hard! (9 months out of the year :rofl: I'm just kidding!)

I sent my kid to college and she stayed for 10 years. She now teaches college kids at UW! :thumbsup:

Sarcasm alert! (So Pumkin Juice doesn't get a headache) Please to not send me the answer. The above is a sarcastic statement.

Hmm... I never recall reading such rule when I started. In fact, I think I got the most slamming in the first 3 months on here. ;)

:goofy:I'm not necessarily unconvinced that there's some truth to that. There really doesn't seem like there could be too many other reasons that plane should fly with all the stuff they have hanging off it.

Damn right. Can't have humor in the workplace. You should be satisfied with that that come sin the memos from management and HR.


And...no matter yer opinion, I eat Vidalia and sweet onions like apples.
