"la loi d'ZPE"

[Jones Beene]

Do Not Adjust Your Set. For a good chuckle and/or a lesson in how NOT to present one's cutting edge...   From Central Services and the continuing online comedy of who's stinkin' up tha' ZPE palace grounds... aka, Sarfatti and Puthoff duke it out behind the ivory tower... or was that....who's behind the giant rat of Sumatra? ... "behind" you say? If it's be-hind, then it has to be Leftenant B. Hind, no? http://www.zpenergy.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=getit&lid=48 [I'm not sure if one is required to sign-up for this forum or not]   I can't help but find a great deal of amusement in too brilliant guys, with way too much education and way too little common sense, cat-fighting over how many angels can fit on a pin-head without pricking their iridescent behinds... geeze, where is St Thomas Aquinas when we need him?   The French have a most apt phrase, the "la loi d`emmerdement maximum" which is more intricate than a Gallic version of 'Murphy's Law' ... a common mis-translation. To adequately appreciate the nuances of this phrase, one must understand what the French mean by their semi-vulgarity - "merde." There is an English equivalent, of course, but it is a bit more odorous, vulgar, and less psychological. Then one must appreciate that the suffix "-ment" which in French is roughly the same as in English, which is too say "a long-standing and well-established pile of the former"...   Do you see where this is going with respect to hypothetical arguments over unproven hypotheticals that benefit no one (except perhaps Randi) and can only lead to "la loi d' ridicule maximum"... and why the superficial translation of either their math or my French leaves everything to be desired ? BTW... that superficial translation of the "la loi d`emmerdement maximum" being something like "the Law of Maximum Annoyance"   Signed   Porgy Tirebiter   I guess one person *can* make a difference, but most of the time, they probably shouldn't" ...and should this be fire-signed  "Coming mother..."  Anyway, please leave me to my own samsaric delusions. I am, after all, old, out-of-shape and my Buddha potential is an approaching an inverse square....
