I think he's saying that the source ([EDIT: oops, I think its Lord, not Sir] Martin Rees) made up the figure, rather than the source itself being fictitious. Martin Rees does definitely exist.
Ah. Still, I never claimed the source to be true.scumofsociety post=18.72612.766847 said:
Back on topic of "Day-amn, that's stupid", I had a kid say to me over Live In-Game Voice,
"You only killed me there because you're a commie. Go be a commie, commie." Considering I'm British through and through, I fail to see how it makes me a communist. Or how a political stance transfers to headshot skill.
"masturbation is immoral" coming from a devout catholic. After I explained that being against your religion doesn't make something immoral, and no one is directly harmed and thus it's not immoral. And after that, the stupidity coming from her reached a level that if she wasn't so hot I would want to hit her.......and I've terrorized her enough. Plus she just looked up fisting, cunnilingus, and BDSM on the wiki because she was really curious and didn't feel like waiting for my pm and now she's traumatized at the pic. We ended up getting in a religious debate (me being a mix of a pastafetarian and an atheist) and she actually opposed the statement that the optimist has to prove something exists before the skeptic has to prove it doesn't. Yea, I quit after that.
The whole 'Pastafarian' thing actually came about as a way of saying, "You Win Because You Are An Idiot. Goodbye." to the Kansas State Board of Education. Kinda fitting that it should turn up in this thread.yourkie1921 post=18.72612.766873 said:
I always enjoy trying to explain to people why blood is, in fact, red, not blue. It always comes down to "but veins are blue, so your blood is blue until it's oxygenated.". To which I ask if they ever took a science class and have heard of arteries, which are the other tubes that carry your blood, and aren't visible for having a similar pigmentation as your skin, because the tubes themselves are in fact, respectively, red and blue. But that's never enough. I'm not committed enough to go into an air-less room and cut myself to prove it though...I'm almost certain to get more than a few posts still disagreeing with me.
I also loved this argument with a friend of mine; we were talking about sitcoms and I was egging him on saying that 'Friends' sucks, and he has the gall to say something along the lines of "Well my brother likes it, so it's good" with all the seriousness of a funeral.

I thought that de-oxygenated blood looked blue, making the arteries seem blue. But hey, you learn something new every day.HatAndWatch post=18.72612.766884 said:
I should have also mentioned red blood cells. Why would they be called red blood cells if they were blue?
Or you could just like...draw some blood from a vein...its a darker red, but still red.
Yes but there would be oxygen around, they wouldn't buy it.
Edit to your edit: Sadly I'm sure that still woudln't satisfy.

Blood cell + oxygen = red.
Blood cell - oxygen = blue.
Red blood cells are the ones that carry oxygen, therefore, they are red.
There is no one color for blood, as its color depends on its oxygen content.
Blood cell - oxygen = blue.

You are magnificent! Thanks for that link, I know just who I'll use on.ElArabDeMagnifico post=18.72612.766444 said:
I am happy to say that I never understood that quote. I have lived a life of blissful ignora - Oh god.TheBadass post=18.72612.766909 said:
You could be disemboweled in space and they'd find some argument I'm sure.scumofsociety post=18.72612.766926 said:
Wrong. You must be very patriotic to believe we have red, white, and sometimes blue blood cells.Rabid Toilet post=18.72612.766919 said:
"Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man."
Cookie to anyone who catches that reference.
Anyway I've heard plenty of stupid arguments in my day, and it wasn't so much the last word, but perhaps the actual argument itself.
Paul (hippie friend of mine): there's no such thing as an original idea
Me: Sure, not any more
Paul: No I mean like ever
Me: That's ridiculous!
Paul: How is that? I mean everything is influenced by something else on some level, so from that stand point no idea is ever original.
Me: *pausing a moment trying to comprehend just how far he was taking it* Yeah?....Explain cave paintings
He shut up after that. I mean I understood what he was trying to say but he took it way to far.
