Refute this!

I put forth that a tree falling in the woods with noone around still makes a sound!!!

Without an empirical observation to prove this, how do you really KNOW?

Trees need a better union and a scope clause. We wouldn't have this problem if it weren't for all these d@mn RJ's.

"the Sun will rise in the east tomorrow morning,"

No, it will not. The sun does not have a consciousness, so it can’t have a will. Now perhaps the sun shall rise tomorrow, but I’m not ready to concede that yet, either. We'll have to see how today goes, first.

Voyager 1 Spacecraft will never, ever return to earth... so in it's logbook there is 1 take-off and 0 landings

Actually, if the theory of Curved Space is true, Voyager may return to Earth, or whatever is left of Earth, someday.

Unless, of course, most flying is being done by RJ's at that time, which may cause space to distort in a wildly unpredictable manner.

Curved Space

Timebuilder, I think you're missing the real issue, that is space wouldn't be CURVED if it had a better union.

This is a clear example of management's abuses, and the union is letting it happen. I think space and the galactic brotherhood should get new union leaders.

If a man speaks in the woods with no woman around, is he still wrong?

Congrats bigD. Now that you've made that significant first in your life (I assume it's your first paying gig) I propose another first for you: Your first job recommendation! Wanna carry in my application?!? Anybody? Help!

Maybe later. I still need to get off my duff and grab that IFR/COMM/Multi stuff. Grrrrr.

Good on ya, though!

Re: Re: Re: Refute this!

Well since you said "Every" and every being an absolute... your statement would be incorrect... You can't "except" an item while using an absolute that covers all...

Voyager 1 Spacecraft will never, ever return to earth... so in it's logbook there is 1 take-off and 0 landings

Sorry... but nice try... play again next week...

I didn't exect a moderator to play stupid internet tricks.

How about this wording for you. For all flying machines that rely upon the generation of aerodynamic lift to accomplish slipping the surly bonds, every such slippage will be followed by a return to terra firma.

Maybe this will work for ya, Every human dies. Even us.

Geez, Typhon gets frustrated with the attitudes here, and now everyone is trying to make his point. We're all crabby.

This is too much fun.

Not quite sure if this is the right thread for this, but I have always loved the posts that begin with....

"I'm not trying to start a flame war, but..."

"I don't think this is PFT, but..."

"This doesn't sound like a scope issue, but..."

However, I KNOW this is the right thread for this reply-

Voyager 1 Spacecraft will never, ever return to earth... so in it's logbook there is 1 take-off and 0 landings

Oh yeah????...how do you know it will NEVER EVER return to Earth? Are you God? If so, can I please have a job at Delta? Please? PLEASE?
And, by the way.....who the H, E, double hockey sticks is logging time in Voyager 1? Do you think he ran out of food and water yet?

And one more just because I feel like it.

I LOVE TO FLY!

Actually you don't fly, the aircraft does. So, in reality you love to be a pilot.

What about if a woman is talking in the woods, and no one is around to hear her, is she still complaining?

(Don't tell my wife I said that!)

What about an R.P.V. that gets vaporized as part of a nuclear test? What about an airplane that disappears in the Bermuda Triangle? "Terra firma" refers to land. Are you implying that airplanes never land on water?

How about this: pilots will argue about anything! (I'm sure it's in my contract somewhere...)

Geez, Typhon gets frustrated with the attitudes here, and now everyone is trying to make his point.

Oh I'm not really frustrated...just making an observation.

(Next, someone will jump up and yell, "no you're not, you're frustrated, you PFT dirtbag!)

proves that most pilots are dorks.

Re: hey mcpickle

>>IVE GOT IT. Actualy I believe this is an old Egytian(sp) proverb.

"This To Shall Pass "<<

well...in the spirit of this thread...

actually, it should be, "This too shall pass."

1) too = "also"

2) period required to end sentence of proverb

3) avoid caps.

sorry...i just couldn't resist it.

Im getting cut on by Mr. Wizard.


by the way I think my quote is the ONLY one yet to be refuted.

OK, OK, you Typhoon was trolling and I bit. My bad,

BTW, anyone seen a real live 7000 year old human lately?
