What's the theory called? I google'd 'twin tower theory' without realising my comeuppance.

Found it.

Leave it to a good discussion of time travel to separate the super nerds from the regular nerds.

Probably fake.

It doesn't just look like a spark plug... it is a spark plug.

Ancient Model Aircraft
Saqqara Bird - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It's a toy. Coincidence at best. And no, it's not stable enough to support gliding.

Giant Stone Balls of Costa Rica
Stone spheres of Costa Rica - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
They aren't perfect spheres, or we don't know their original size and shape anyways. Pretty neat though.

Impossible Fossils
Alleged Cretaceous Hand Print
Fake.

Out-of-Place Metal Objects
Examples aren't specific... probably for a reason.

An interesting article about the birthday of Jimmy Wales, the "founder" of Wikipedia.

I say "founder" because, reading his article on Wikipedia, shows he pulled the same shit referenced above with Wikipedia's beginnings...changing his title from "cofounder" to "founder."

He's an interesting character.

Unit 731 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Small excerpt:

Quote:

Vivisection

* Prisoners of war were subjected to vivisection without anaesthesia.
* Vivisections were performed on prisoners after infecting them with various diseases. Scientists performed invasive surgery on prisoners, removing organs to study the effects of disease on the human body. These were conducted while the patients were alive because it was feared that the decomposition process would affect the results. The infected and vivisected prisoners included men, women, children, and infants.
* Vivisections were also performed on pregnant women, sometimes impregnated by doctors, and the foetus removed.
* Prisoners had limbs amputated in order to study blood loss.
* Those limbs that were removed were sometimes re-attached to the opposite sides of the body.
* Some prisoners' limbs were frozen and amputated, while others had limbs frozen then thawed to study the effects of the resultant untreated gangrene and rotting.
* Some prisoners had their stomachs surgically removed and the esophagus reattached to the intestines.
* Parts of the brain, lungs, liver, etc. were removed from some prisoners.

In 2007, Doctor Ken Yuasa testified to the Japan Times that "I was afraid during my first vivisection, but the second time around, it was much easier. By the third time, I was willing to do it." He believes at least 1,000 persons, including surgeons, were involved in vivisections over mainland China.

Wiki Josef Mengele.
Similar to the aforementioned Unit 731, but deals with dwarves and twins.

Landing Strip · 01-08-2009, 11:48 PM

it does not let me post a link. just as before, the link goes to nubblies. perhaps i am unskilled in the task of clicking a link button, copy/pasting desired link, titling it, and having it work. i have presented this to f3lix and he could not help me.

please show me your ways, wise ones.

edit: well the code thing doesn't work as it should...

Landing Strip · 01-09-2009, 12:01 AM

nullify previous post. after comparing and contrasting the BB code in my attempt in linking and the BB code in the FAQ section, i found the only difference were a set of quotation marks [which were there from clicking the link button].

the link has been fixed. click it.

Landing Strip · 01-09-2009, 12:02 AM

ugh. was posting while you two beat me to it.

ID, i did not know the code thing doesn't work as it should

Orgazmo · 01-09-2009, 12:11 AM

Though I could let this ride...the problem was a plugin that does some black magic behind the scenes (the thing that lets ya'll embed youtube videos and such). Sometimes it gets a little ambitious (google links and wikipedia links lately). I've disabled it for them.

You can still just copy/paste the link and it'll format it nicely.

Landing Strip · 01-09-2009, 12:14 AM
