Refute this!

[Salty Dog]

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.

 

[enigma]

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

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

"anyone seen a real live 7000 year old human lately"

Yeah ... my ex at 0600 hrs.

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

Just because someone isn't around to observe an event doesn't mean that it doesn't happen.

 

[nimtz]

Can anyone post something under this thread that nobody can (a) refute or (b) twist into a discussion of scope, mainline vs. regional jets, furloughs, pay-for-training, or college education requirements?

Okay, try to take on this time tested fact. Ron Jeremy has a huge p#nis!

A tree falls in the woods

Ok, let me try to prove something here. First, we know from physics that sound is caused by air vibrations that create waves in the air. Also, vibrations are caused by friction, and as long as there is a force (mass x gravity in this case) there will be friction. So, as the tree starts to fall, due to gravity, the friction of the insides of the tree rubbing against each other, because of force, causes air vibrations, which in turn cause sound. It doesn't matter if anyone is there to here it or not, the trees makes a sound as it is falling, and probably as it hits the ground. How about that Typhoon.

 

[CatYaaak]

I'm not sure if the tree makes a sound when it falls, but you can bet that as the sound of the chainsaw died away, the tree-hugging Earth First!-er who was perched up in the limbs wailed like a baby while plunging to the forest floor.

" Okay I'll grant that the falling tree makes vibrations in the air. But I think you need an ear around to interpret the vibrations into sound. So if there is no ear, there is no sound. "


The vibrations in the air are sound, so there is no need to interpret anything. I didn't say this in my first post, but that is actually the fact of the matter, and trees make a sound when they fall and no one is around to hear it.


PS. I misspelled hear in my first post, I'm suprised someone didn't refute that. Ha Ha Ha.

 

[mckpickle]

dont worry Mr. Wizard will be signing on shortly!

How do we know? Could just be special effects...or a stunt double...

Besides, it's not that big...

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

Well Falcon, you never know what Voyager may HIT...perhaps an asteroid, a moon, a planet, a star or it might be sucked into a black hole....and God knows what's at the other end of the black hole...if God exists...

so your statement is false too...1 take-off...and you don't know what the heck might happen after that 1 t/o! it might "land" somewhere...maybe a little hard...without it's atoms holding together...if atoms exist... ahh...I'll stop

lol
