The Great Phantom Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 Do you think that there is some kind of hidden message with the Mario Brothers ?? When he eats a red mushroom he gets high or taller if you will... When he eats a green mushroom he can fly... Very odd...

mkreku Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 If you pour boiling water on a frog, it immediately jumps away to avoid getting cooked. If you very slowly heat the water around the frog instead, it doesn't jump away. It just sits there and stares until it dies. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

But since I've seen it, I'm sure it'll turn up again. Somewhere. Found it: http://www.big-boys.com/articles/makesyouthink.html Of course, it's an ad (informative, about global warming), but still..

taks Posted April 29, 2005 Posted April 29, 2005 you're joking, right, mkreku? that was your evidence? sorry pal, but they likely weren't even heating the container the second time. they were just trying to make a point using a silly urban legend. taks comrade taks... just because.

taks Posted April 29, 2005 Posted April 29, 2005 Sorry, troll, but where did I use the term "evidence"? I just explained where I got the useless information from (that's the topic, not useless trolling) and at the end I clearly stated that it was just an ad, which you conveniently missed. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> exactly how am i trolling, mkreku? note, btw, that i did not resort to calling you names, either. something you carelessly do on a regular basis. so much for your self-righteousness. also, all i did was point out the problem with using such ads as the basis for a line of thought. the ad didn't show anything at all... the fact that you conveniently mentioned it was an ad was irrelevant. critical thinking skills are lacking in the world, and such stray statements (the urban legends) are clearly evidence of that fact. the point is that you saw and ad and thought it was true. that's not useless information, it's flat out wrong. useless does not mean incorrect. that's my bit of useless information. taks comrade taks... just because.
taks Posted April 29, 2005 Posted April 29, 2005 Useless info requires no evidence!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> i call shenanigans! useless information still needs to be true, just not worth much taks comrade taks... just because.
Darth Flatus Posted April 29, 2005 Posted April 29, 2005 If info useless is, what matter if it true or not? hmmm?
taks Posted April 29, 2005 Posted April 29, 2005 If info useless is, what matter if it true or not? hmmm? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> if it is incorrect, it could have negative implications. might get folks boiling frogs to find out. ick. taks comrade taks... just because.

Anyhow, how much of the info found in this thread do you actually think is true? I don't think the point is to educate anyone. I saw the ad, thought it was cool and useless so I posted it. What did you bring to the discussion..? Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
