And my god women can't do physics.

 

The amount of infuriating shit that stems from a lack of physics understanding i've seen by various women is unbelievable.

 

I don't want to sound like a misogynistic arse, but that's what's about to happen anyway....

 

Completely agree that there seems to be a general disconnect with women and the laws of physics. It's as though they genuinely believe that if they reckon something should act in a particular fashion... because that's how they want it to happen.. then that's exactly how it's going to go down, regardless of any sort of physical likelyhood.

 

Perfect example.. the wife has a masters degree, she also went to one of America's top ranked universities (Top 3 non-ivy league), so I guess she's probably in the top 5% of women globally as far as education is concerned...

 

..anyway we had to move some furniture because we were going to steam clean the carpet. My DVD cases are these big cabinets filled with hundreds of DVD's. Heavy as fuck things even when empty, but she assured me that we should just move them with the DVDs in them. I explained to her that the structural integrity of a piece of furniture.. like a cabinet... is designed to support itself, and NOT designed to be moved with it's own weight of DVDs still inside. Despite my insistence she got all fucking Arab on me and started babbling incoherent, agitated Arabic shite like she always does when she's flustered/angry/got a cock up her... so I did my usual passive-aggressive act and said, "Fair enough... let's move these tremendously heavy cabinets containing their own weight in DVDs and see what happens"...

 

...and of course the fucking thing broke as soon as we tried moving it.

 

And THEN I was the bad cunt because I knew that was going to happen and yet hadn't insisted vociferously enough to stop her from demanding we move the fucking thing full of DVDs.

Well I must add they don't know too much about the animal kingdom either.

 

Was away for the weekend last time home and stayed in an old country manor (busman's holiday ;) )

 

Reading through the blurb in the room my wife announced that the owners have two Houdini dogs who like to escape if the gate isn't closed properly and so could we please ensure we close the gate if we go out.

 

What kind of dog is a houdini dog she asks. Is it as big as a labrador?

 

Magical.

 

Anyway back on topic Professor Brian Cox is the only man who knows anything about the subject matter and if he's not involved in this programme then it's clearly a hoax. A BBC 2 Brass Eye by the sound of it.

All that story does is indicate her lack of knowledge of old school escapologists / illusionists, rather than animals

 

Unless you consider an encylopaedic knowledge of all dog breeds to be fairly standard general knowledge.

I do consider an encyclopaedic knowledge of all dog breeds to be fairly standard general knowledge. I also know how to spell encyclopaedic. :dc:

 

 

She knows who Harry Houdini was.

 

 

The additional full stop you put in that comment in the eggs thread should have been used after animals. :dc:

Clearly an appropriate level for you.

 

Then you might learn how to spell "mechanics".

 

You're a fine one to talk about spelling. :sherlock:;)

Yes.

 

But I know how to spell encyclopaedic.

 

I just missed out a c when typing.

 

I also wan't criticising anyone regarding dumbing down, just pointing out an alternative interpretation of context, so I thought the irony was deserving of comment.

 

So I think I can be forgiven on this occasion.

Perhaps.

 

Have a half hour in the corner though as punishment.

wheres the irony, like?

 

Irony is a form of utterance that postulates a double audience, consisting of one party that hearing shall hear & shall not understand, & another party that, when more is meant than meets the ear, is aware both of that more & of the outsiders' incomprehension.

Does the second question mark give your question more oomph? :sheepdance:

 

I personally couldnt give twa shites how people write their posts but those who spend all day with the red pen in their hands should make sure theirs are beyond reproach.

 

For future reference though;

 

? would be a standard question. How are you today?

 

?? would be either a 2nd question after a first. How are you today? Did you have a good weekend

 

or

 

would emphasize my surprise at such obvious hypocrisy or stupidity.

 

??? or more would mean, are you for fucking real

 

These arent English standard though, spam standard, yes but not English so dont be teaching this to your kids :thumbs:
