John Kettler Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Haven't been posting because of weeks of ongoing alarums and excursions, to include major telecomm problems. Currently, my sitter's "broken," severely limiting anything to do with the Internet. Fully intend to return to the lists (especially the German atomic weapon thread) when I get some things sorted out. As it is, I'm way behind on even my E-mail, let alone in keeping up with the Forums here. Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kettler Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 Michael Emrys, Flaring sciatics and my Balans (kneeling) office chair don't mix. Mashes the nerves.

Michael Emrys Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Not to mention his sciatic nerves. Sneaky bastards will stop at nothing to keep the truth about Nazi nuclear powered flying saucers from getting out Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
costard Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Nah - the sciatics are flaring in sympathy with seismic tensions in central Asia. Watch out for the next big quake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilhammer Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 We now have photographic evidence of spacecraft landings from a space probe; http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/LRO/multimedia/lroimages/apollosites.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonS Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Yes. I highly doubt that NASA would have given the astronauts big buckets of white paint to paint labels all over the moon. Even if they had, there is no way the astronauts could have got the perspective and sizing so precise. Photoshop fail. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricochet67 Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Yes. I highly doubt that NASA would have given the astronauts big buckets of white paint to paint labels all over the moon. Even if they had, there is no way the astronauts could have got the perspective and sizing so precise. Photoshop fail. That font hadn't even been designed in 1969. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilhammer Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Also, the bottom label is in meters. Americans in those times did not know what a meter was, unless it was for parking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogface Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Well technically the American Military does/did use the metric system so that answer Willhammer, is right out. I am going to go with either the painting one or the font answer. Hope you feel better Kettler. By the way if you feel funny in the region of your body that covers the northern Puget Sound, let me know. I'm gonna be up there for the next 8 days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonS Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 http://www.wired.com/geekdad/2009/07/51-conspiracy-theories/ 7. The government has secretly taken over all aluminum foil manufacturers to embed transmitters in every roll because for a while there, they weren’t able to read our minds. Bonus conspiracy tip: In order to counteract the embedded transmitters in the aluminum foil - pour water that has been heated in a microwave over the foil. The radioactive water molecules will disable the device and render your thoughts unreadable and uncontrollable. Remember you can only stop the Conspiracy with uncontrolled thoughts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Emrys Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 What about the conversion of English to metric (or was it the other way around?) scandal that caused a very expensive Mars probe to crash a decade or two back?

flamingknives Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 AIUI it was that the data was converted from Metric to imperial twice. However it happened, what a mistake-a to make-a. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnergoz Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 That was no mistake, that was the Martian Intelligence Agency's work. All these people walking around with MIA T-shirts are trying to tell us something, you know... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to go with either the painting one or the font answer. Apologies for derailing this excellent thread, but this boggles my mind. The US military uses the metric system while the general population uses the US system of measurement which is derived from the Imperial system? Is this a conspiracy by producers of measuring devices to increase profits? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
