I learned today through GoLo that some people think "white tornadoes" are somehow related to brine salt solution sprayed on roads in the winter:

Quote :

"Brine is something you marinate meat in. Brime is sprayed on the roads! Its also a cause of the white tornadoes that were spotted this past weekend. ((user lma1973)"

Also, this guy keeps arguing that it's called "Brime", but that's a side story. The other theory I'm surprised people believe is the "Chemtrail" conspiracy. What other nutbag theories have you heard?

Chemtrails still are at the top of my holy shit list, and I learned about it here. Since that's been posted...faked moon landing and penis enlargement pills come to mind. Also this could be a great troll thread

I'm thinking along the lines of Santa. Science can clearly disprove his existence outside of the historical St. Nicholas.

Fan death:

Quote :

"Fan death is an urban legend prevailing in South Korea in which an electric fan left running overnight in a closed room can cause the death of those inside. Fans sold in Korea are equipped with a timer switch that turns them off after a set number of minutes, which users are frequently urged to set when going to sleep with a fan on.[1]"

I'm confused. Brine is saturated salt water. It is both the stuff you marinate meat in and spray on roads. WTF is brime?

dude, its pretty cold out here plus dint it snow in rawlee/texas/cali this year and last???? where is your global warming?

3/10/2011 8:41:56 AM

I wish people would stop saying global warming and use the terms global climate change. global warming is a political buzzword that is just part of (and not even the most important part) of the overall global climate change. It just happens to be the political buzzword of the decade.

3/10/2011 8:47:08 AM

exactly...its like people says that if evolution were true and we evolved from apes then why are there still apes

yeah global climate change is more accurate...i should have used that. but global warming is still relevant since the climate change we are talking about is a rise in average global temperature.

better yet, "global climate destabilization"...climate "change" is a misnomer, too, as change is expected independent of anthropomorphic activities

destabilization, however, more correctly describes the effects of human actions (specifically the inability of the ecosystem to cope with the human-induced changes quickly enough to compensate)
