But to accept the ideas that you've presented here, a person would have to be so open-minded that his brain falls out.

I swear I've heard this before, but :smile:

Limbo for me too.
It's not so bad. We can play limbo. I used to be very good in limbo when I was younger and more lenient.

Anyone else? What are some of the funniest thing said on PF?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Oh wow there's a million of them for me. I'd have to go through the greatest threads thread but some of the ask a stupid quetion stuff was hilarious. We used to have a member named Zoobyshoe who could spill out one, two, and twenty liners like water from a glass.
 
Used to have zoobyshoe? what happened?

Deceased.

(From the forum that is.)
 
Rumor has it that some kind of disaster befell the Zooby brush shelter. I also hear that he has been sighted at the San Diego Zoo. :biggrin:
 
Does anyone know what happened to Njorl?
 
I think he and Zooby ran off together.

With the risk of hijacking this therad anyone know what happened to FZ+ and Mr. Robin Parsons?
 
  • #11
Mr Robin Parsons was banned.
 
  • #12
You're kidding me? From funny man of PF to the street. Really, I'd like to see this forum list the banned members so they are not simply thought to be laying in a ditch somewhere.

Wow, I don't remember that one! In fact I can't remeber anyone ever being banned from physics forums.

Unless we're actually all banned and living in an immitation of reality. :cry:

Wasn't there a movie recently about the memory of other people being wiped out, so it was as if they never existed?

Ah, getting out your 'Best of Smurf' collection I see :smile: you know you can get them for as little as $200 in Africa.

Whatever happened to that Smurf chap? It's almost like he was never here...
 
  • #22
What Smurf chap ?

Pottery magician ... Chronos came up with that (if you've not been following the discussion on what PF should do about the Theory Development board, you may not appreciate how funny this is).
 
  • #26
Yes, 'pottery magician' was a truly inspired coining. :approve:

I assume that would have something to do with crack pottery... great now I have to read.

Did anyone follow that huge argument Mr. Robin Parsons got into with Monique and others about grouping Canada and the US together in her member's geographical location thread? That was great... but in a horrible way.

Andre, whose mother tongue is not English, posted this gem about, well, you can work it out I'm sure (I've done a little editing):
"Actually there are two worlds, one 4.6 billion years old and the other one 6,000. The first world is sure of this [age] because they have a dozen independent techniques to calculate that age; the 6,000 year old world is sure of its age too, because somebody who can know its age says so.

Somehow those two worlds got merged, I don't know, a peculiar wormhole or something. Now we have ended up with intermingled people from two worlds whose main objective seems to be to convince the others of their truth.

This is tragic, since none of those parties will ever succeed because there are two worlds.[/color]"

This certainly is tragic. Funny, but tragic.
