If it makes you feel any better there's a good psychological explanation for it from cognition biases. If given two options in a question of that type people pick the one they recognise as the answer whether it's correct or not, sometimes even if they know it cannot be correct; and unsurprisingly more schoolchildren recognise Dumbledore. That's also an explanation for people from the US locating Ukraine in places they almost certainly know aren't correct. 6 hours ago, Hurlshot said: I actually think you've really made it as an icon if people see you in the same light as Sherlock Holmes and King Arthur. They are fictional characters, sure.. Arthur probably did exist, though of course not as the Malloryesque King Arthur in plate armour and the like.

teknoman2 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain. The true nature of freedom is such, that the human mind is unable to comprehend it, so we make a cage and name it freedom in order to give a tangible meaning to what we dont understand, just as our ancestors made gods like Thor or Zeus to explain thunder. -Teknoman2- What? You thought it was a quote from some well known wise guy from the past? Stupidity leads to willful ignorance - willful ignorance leads to hope - hope leads to sex - and that is how a new generation of fools is born! We are hardcore role players...

Raithe Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 The New Yorker - Trump says he has been treated very unfairly by the people who wrote the constitution WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Hinting darkly that "there's something going on," Donald J. Trump complained on Friday that he has been treated "very unfairly" by the people who wrote the United States Constitution. "If the Constitution prevented me from doing one or two things, I'd chalk that up to bad luck," he said. "But when literally everything I want to do is magically a violation of the Constitution, that's very unfair and bad treatment." Lashing out at the document's authors, Trump said that "America is a great country, but we have maybe the worst constitution writers in the world." "Russia has much better constitution writers than we do," he said. "I talked to Putin, and he said their constitution never gives him problems." "The situation is very unfair!" he added. In an ominous warning, Trump said that, as of Friday, he was putting the writers of the U.S. Constitution "on notice." "I don't have their names yet, but that's something I'm looking into," he said. "These jokers are not going to get away with this." 1 "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithe Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I was being entertained by this.. up to the point of "Roman War Chariots"... A history lesson for people who think that history doesn't matter: What's the big deal about railroad tracks? The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches. That's an exceedingly odd number. Why was that gauge used? Well, because that's the way they built them in England, and English engineers designed the first US railroads. Why did the English build them like that? Because the first rail lines were built by the same people who built the wagon tramways, and that's the gauge they used. So, why did 'they' use that gauge then? Because the people who built the tramways used the same jigs and tools that they had used for building wagons, which used that same wheel spacing. Why did the wagons have that particular odd wheel spacing? Well, if they tried to use any other spacing, the wagon wheels would break more often on some of the old, long distance roads in England . You see, that's the spacing of the wheel ruts. So who built those old rutted roads? Imperial Rome built the first long distance roads in Europe (including England ) for their legions. Those roads have been used ever since. And what about the ruts in the roads? Roman war chariots formed the initial ruts, which everyone else had to match or run the risk of destroying their wagon wheels. Since the chariots were made for Imperial Rome , they were all alike in the matter of wheel spacing. Therefore the United States standard railroad gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 inches is derived from the original specifications for an Imperial Roman war chariot. Bureaucracies live forever. So the next time you are handed a specification/procedure/process and wonder 'What horse's ass came up with this?', you may be exactly right. Imperial Roman army chariots were made just wide enough to accommodate the rear ends of two war horses. (Two horses' asses.) Now, the twist to the story: When you see a Space Shuttle sitting on its launch pad, there are two big booster rockets attached to the sides of the main fuel tank. These are solid rocket boosters, or SRBs. The SRBs are made by Thiokol at their factory in Utah . The engineers who designed the SRBs would have preferred to make them a bit fatter, but they had to be shipped by train from the factory to the launch site. The railroad line from the factory happens to run through a tunnel in the mountains, and the SRBs had to fit through that tunnel. The tunnel is slightly wider than the railroad track, and the railroad track, as you now know, is about as wide as two horses' behinds. So, a major Space Shuttle design feature, of what is arguably the world's most advanced transportation system, was determined over two thousand years ago by the width of a horse's ass. And you thought being a horse's ass wasn't important? So, Ancient horse's asses control almost everything and.... CURRENT Horses Asses are controlling everything else. 1 1 "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
