"A thought of thinking"--freeper science

[TZ]

For those of you who don't go to the Science forum, I thought you might get a kick out of this freeper post..

"What if we had a way of attainng part of the speed of light, and then partially attracted the light to us magnetically, or with gases, somehow, or a type of gravity. Doesn't gravity of a celestial body depend upon the chemical make-up of the celestial body, and how is that in congruence with mass, change gravity. Light cannot escape a black hole, but gases can. Maybe on the flip side of some of these black holes, the gases that escape it, converge, and start a new nebulae."

8. No, that's a fairly famous Aussie joke. It's like asking someone to buy a bucket

of striped paint. :)

9. Thank goodness

I do see now that Snopes says its a joke..but apparantly the newspaper didn't think so.
Asking someone to buy a bucket of striped paint? LOL. I haven't heard that one.
You Aussie's have a unique sense of humor.....;-)

10. The striped paint may have been a pom export to Australia

I heard it from my dad as a kid in England, and it was old then. It was a common hazing gag in the building trade.

7. I had this exact same conversation once

It was at a Grateful Dead after-party/rave. And it still made more sense than this.
