Stupid people, news, etc.

I'm still waiting for the Darwin Awards reality TV show.


Most of these are typical idiots, nothing special, so you can skip them.

But the very first part of this video is a true winner.

No question about it, Apple's iPhone has come a long way.

The Apple fans however are Apple fans.




'Apple has done it again' - People review 'iPhone 6s' without realising it's the original

"Others were impressed with how quickly the phone worked: “It’s really cool. I like how fast the processor is moving. It’s not lagging and it’s not holding me up.”

They also praised the obsolete phone's camera and weight, concluding: “Apple has done it again.”



THIS, on the other hand IS cool.

Blind faith marks the Apple follower.

Heh, nothing like us C-64 fans.

I ran FS1 on my C-64 in 1984 (made by subLogic at the time). A friend who is a pilot said it was the most realistic simulator he had ever seen.

" A friend who is a pilot said it was the most realistic simulator he had ever seen."

Compared to Lunar Lander (1979), I'm sure that it was.




Actually, Lunar Lander, really was an exciting game for the time.

But this was before the colorful Pac-Man took the world by storm.




Guess which one you could play in a bar, drunk.

That might have been some of the appeal for adults (and many near-adults).

You guys is nuts. Over here at our farm the Sun does revolve around the Earth. If you look kind of to the East in the morning you can see the Sun starting to come up from below the Earth. Then it keeps revolving upward until around lunchtime its right above the barn. Then it continues to revolve around the Earth downwards towards the West until you caint see it no more. Its pretty friggen obvious. Then the next day it just revolves around the Earth again from the same direction. Even the cows can see it.
Maybe its just different in the United States or sumpthin, but thats what it does in these parts.

Did you go to high school in America? Or are you just stupid? The sun does not revolve around the Earth.

This has been known and accepted theory for about 500 years.

Sunrise and sunset are the result of Earth's revolution in space compared to the sun.

[OldAirmail]

Jim, he IS correct: The sun most definitely revolves as it goes around the earth.


The key problem as I see it, is what everyone in the world is missing.

"Then it keeps revolving upward until around lunchtime its right above the barn."

What will happen if he decides to skip lunch?

And if the barn should burn down? Will the sun even know what to do!

The sun, like many another, has a routine. And if that routine is broken the sun may just stop dead in it's tracks.


Scoff if you want, but the fact is, we just don't know. Just because it hasn't happened yet, doesn't prove that it can't happen.

There's an App for people like you!

It's actually a reflection from down here in South Africa..
My fault..

I wish I was a glow worm,
A glow worm's never glum,
How can you be grumpy,
When the sun shines out your bum!

HELLO FOZZER AND OldAirmail. I hope you enjoyed reading that as much as I enjoyed writing it. I simply used the old Farmers trick of observing natural phenomena as opposed to the tedious and time-consuming scientific methods. They don't have time for science, the Cows need to be milked.

What part of this do you not understand?

Isaac Newton - 300 years ago. Copernicus - a couple of hundred years before Newton.

[logjam]

You're all nuts. We all know that the earth is flat. All this stuff about a man on the moon was all done in a studio. O btw, Copernicus was a heretic and Newton invented a downward falling apple.
