By the way, this was caused to happen by the judicious use of a few hundred pounds of high explosives to cut some load-bearing members. The rest was gravity. Or do you think that all the dust and twisted metal of that entire building was caused by a few hundred lbs of explosives?


It's worse. He thinks that enough explosive was detonated to pulverize all that concrete without ever thinking to check what that much explosive going off would look like.

It is better to be a warrior in a garden, than a gardener at war.

Some of us, on the other hand, actually prefer a religion that includes some type of correlation with reality.

Man in Black, Sethbag is kinda kicking your butt here. If you want a less technical example, try this little experiment.

Take two eggs out of your fridge. Put one on a plate and drop the other one on it from a foot above. Smash! You have a plate full of broken eggshells and goo.

Eggs were designed (nature or whatever) to support their own weight and the gentile weight from the momma hen while using the minimum amount of calcium (the eggshell). Buildings are designed the same way. There is just no mystery.

First off, that would require thousands and thousands and thousands of lbs of explosives to accomplish, and it would have had to have been distributed over the whole building (since the whole building was pulverized), and they would have had to have planted it secretly, without anyone knowing what they were doing, in a very short time (the night before?). Can you imagine the crews of of hundreds or even thousands of secret gubment ninjas required to infiltrate the WTCs the night before, neutralizing anyone working late, the nightime security guards, etc., and yet not a single person has talked and given up the conspiracy? The conspiracy is far less believable than what really happened, ie: planes loaded with fuel crashed into the WTCs at hundreds of miles per hour, and a while later, after burning for a while, the buildings collapsed.

Wait,

Sethbag turned into an atheistic black man after he dropped one egg on top of another egg and then he started swearing at his cat named gravity?

Do I have this right?

You and I are both very confused.

How are you doing, pal?
