£2.33 for a packet of suet?
What, does it have an apple logo on the box?

Well, this is a site about sharing your thoughts. There really are some weird people out there. He doesn't even know Einstein's name correctly. Just thought it was funny, and sad.

Oh! Good!
I thought you thought it was somehow funny and insightful or something.

Me neither. But hey, this is the internet and it was his turn to post something.

Off the top-of-my-head, I'd say the author of that needs a course of electro-convulsive therapy followed by rigorous training in grammar, and spelling.
"What Turing gave us for the first time (and without Turing you just couldn't do any of this) is he gave us a way of thinking about and taking seriously and thinking in a disciplined way about phenomena that have, as I like to say, trillions of moving parts.
Until the late 20th century, nobody knew how to take seriously a machine with a trillion moving parts. It's just mind-boggling." Daniel C. Dennett

Perusing that site, I'd say most of the people there do. I had to close the browser window, my faith in humanity was beginning to become rather rattled. I have the same experience browsing Facebook. I think this[^] sums up my preferred position on the topic of sites like Facebook.

Facebook is useful as its database provides us with a complete list of all the stupid people who must be purged from the Earth when the great Kthaarg returns.

That one's pretty good.
The perspective to take, when coming up with/expanding weird theories, is "what could intelligent members of some hidden tribe that didn't have our Physics books believe?". The "poetry" guy just played with quotes.

He is of course correct:

My motorbike is faster than light. That has side effetcs at nigh.

I used to have a Ducati that was faster than it's own electricity... 
|
|
|
|
|
I know the Ducati are quite slow, indeed[^].
Veni, vidi, vici.
|
|

Sounds about right for that Ducati: if you went too fast, it would die with electrical problems.
Mind you, it would die with electrical problems if there was an "R" in the month as well...
|
|
|
|
|
Ducati are both fascinating and fragile.
Veni, vidi, vici.

They are a whole load better nowadays than they were in my youth - in the pre pantah days the electrical system was constructed from dry spaghetti and the control cables from wet - but I have had an enormous amount of fun on ST2s, ST4s, and 996's over the years (even if I spent more time swearing at and mending a 750 Darmah than riding it when I was young)
I like V Twins!

Quote: Eisenstein's theory of relativity seems flawed
It certainly is, as Eisensten[^] was a film director who looked like Eraserhead[^]!

Well if it were Toronto, then I'd say it makes sense, as the mayor would probably find doorknobs to be difficult to work in a drunken coke-induced stupor.

Well, that makes perfect sense to me. After all, we'll shortly be evolving into bipedal creatures with legs as functional as the wings on a penguin, due a profound lack of interest in walking, so we'll mostly get about on wheels. And since we're also going to be developing flipper-like appendages with tiny, pointed opposable digits suited to poking tiny images on portable, wireless communications devices, knobs may present quite a challenge. Go Vancouver! I'm all for it...
