No time at all. The 5 men have already built it.
If if takes 5 men one hour to build a wall, how long does it take 10 men to build a similar (identical) wall?
1/2 hr (on average), if there's no football! ...
1 hr; the rest 5 men are goofing off

This "you" is a fake, since I did not like it due to the bashing motive.

Plutonium not Available at O'Reilly Auto Parts. Please contact your local supplier.
Local supplier?! I don't I have a grocer nearby selling Plutonium :cry:

Don't worry - Michelson-Morley is consistent with the Lorentz ethernet. None of that density, none of that viscosity - just one extra postulate and you're in business!

Yeah, all these are easy to solve. I measured ##1/3 \,e^-## charges in a Millikan experiment at school. What's my excuse?

Ruben Bolling has a couple of physics toons. The META one is good too.

This one is good and shows how you can sneakily bend the truth without making any apparent false statement:

##4-\frac{9}{2} = - \left\lvert 4-\frac{9}{2}\right\rvert = - \sqrt{\left (4-\frac{9}{2}\right )^2} ...##

nice try, though :p
